Hey! This is a hard thing to do, especially if you have just been attacked by a dog. Have you told your mother how you feel? That since the attack you have been feeling depressed and you can't snap out of it? If you can't talk to her then i suggest you talk to the student councillor about how you feel. Quite often talking to someone about how you feel helps you feel better. I've done this quite a lot (i have depression myself) and have found that getting things off my chest feels a lot better than keeping it holed up. I wouldn't worry about school tomorrow - just focus on helping yourself feel better.
In the meantime, you could also try going outside (obviously avoid places where there are dogs if you find that you are frightened of them), going for a walk, read a book, do something that you would normally enjoy and see if it helps take your mind off things. Ring one of your friends and see if they can come over, if one of your friends knows about what happened to you then i will ease the stress of going to school tomorrow because at least one person won't be asking all those annoying questions about what happened, etc.
But i would definitely talk to someone. What happened to you would make ANYONE feel blue for a while. Talk to someone about it, especially a councillor because they will bel able to give you strategies that you can do if you start to feel depressed. I hope this has been helpful, what ever you decided i wish you the very best. Things will get better for you, just have some patience. Facial injuries heal a lot quicker than anywhere else on the body (you have a lot of blood circulating around your head, especially close to the surface or near the skin). Anyway, all the best.
Ah, it's just stitches and like, all you have to do, is say to yourself it will heal :) if people ask you what happened, say you got into a mad fight and you beat the buddies up LOL, just make jokes about it , and laugh along and yeah
Hang out with your friends. Just be yourself. If you feel sad, it's ok. I am sorry you were attacked by a dog. If you need to talk to a councellor, talk to one at school, they can help deal with these things
go to school and answer all the questions. isn't it nice to be the center of attention? i like it.
You need something fun to look foward to, to take your mind off your injury. Do something you enjoy doing, call your friends and organise to go out or ask them to come over
Just say sorry to your mum, get a movie out tonight, watch it, have a good time, get up for school and go?
I am sorry that happened. I am shocked they did nothing to relieve pain from stitching. You need to tell your mom what you are feeling. If she doesn't seep to care. Go to school and right to your guidance counselor and I bet your moms attitude will change.You sound like you have some Post traumatic stress and you should be seen by a psychologist.
if it doesn't start to heal right you will need a little plastic surgery it happened to my grandson when he was just a baby,no i wasn't there to stop it his mother was there and didn't -hah! her with a restraining order against my son for nothing
Try not let it bother you. Be happy that your ok. Have fun! go out! Dont let that stop you from having fun!!
Wow rough question. I think that 2 days is not necessarily enough time to get over being attacked and needing stitches. Tell you Mom that if she can't understand then she is basically a failure at being a MOM. (Mine was too so I know all about it) I think that only two days off is rushing back a little too quickly. Why don't you take a week off and see how you feel then.
This might sound weird but tell God how you feel , seriously! Just go somewhere private and just start to sincerely dump out all the things that are bringing you down and Ask God to help you. This will 100% help, as long as you are serious about this and you are sincere and truthful from the bottom of your heart.
