I'm sorry you're feeling so at risk, is there an our of hours crisis team in your area or are you able to phone a helpline if things get difficult? is there anyone who can be with you, maybe a family member or a friend? What is it that worries you about starting college? Doing something new and taking a step forward in life is scary for all of us at first but once you get used to it i'm sure that you will feel better about it.

Take each minute as it comes, you don't have to self harm or OD, you are in control. Stay distracted and fight the urges. What safe things cheer you up when you are feeling down? Maybe you could watch some funny films or youtube videos. Please stay safe, i'm sure that you can get through this. I'm here if you need anything. Take care.

	I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much. Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass. You didn't come this far just to come this far.
