Well, it's my 1st day of 10th std. It will go better than 9th , my friends are in my class!While our class teacher entered, he informed us that we're in sec D as we had scored badly especially in Maths in 9th.We were embrassed, fr this news spread rest of sections too. One of the most annoying things about our school is the shuffling system. Every yr, new faces, our classmates change, some peeps weren't even once in my class, some twice in row and some once.
Me being an introvert, I'm not exactly I just didn't fit in, scholarly students had high stds, some were loud & pranksters while I was an outcast. Not all stories are fairytales, not real life. — % &I took counseling sessions last year. I even started having a major crush on this guy. Let me be clear, my crush wasn't responsible for my mental health.
Girls are girls' worst enemy, true in my case. My ma'am changed the seating arrangement. Therefore, l sat in the corner of 4 seated bench beside the Snake. For no reason, that girl hated me, she ignored me & only spoke rest 2 gals in the bench. I tried speak to her, blank replies, funniest thing l corrected her wrong answers of her Hindi test, so she that scored better & just make her like me. No use. I remember we had an activity where we had to works in pairs, automatically she was my pair, all she did was ignore, did all discussion with the other 2 while I did it alone. In the whole class, I felt invisible.
I'm someone who would suppress my feelings. I started skipping meals, l didn't get my periods for months and I would throw up after breakfast.l also had crying episodes, tried to skip school, nervousness, afraid of people & even tried to kill myself. — % &My parents were obviously worried. They tricked me in meeting a psychiatrist. This PG doc, he was assigned kept asking ,"why you are here? " I was angry, I was forced to be there. I was taken to diff rooms situated in diff floors, this doc then even social worker spoke to me. That PG doc, he even whispered into one of the senior docs' ears, "She's a psycho. " Tbh, I was angry hearing him say that but I knw I tested lot of his patience. I finally opened up & spoke.
On my next appointment, l was assigned to a lady psychiatrist. I even crossed paths with him, the one who called me 'psycho', he greeted me with a smile, I was calm & returned a "hi". I was given anxiety tablets, taught relaxation exercises and they asked a bunch of questions about my fears ,to rate my fear level in % etc etc. To my surprise, I met a few of my schoolmates attending the same psychiatrists. I felt like I wasn't alone. I'm better now. I'm grateful to my parents and my psychiatrist and also to the doc who called me psycho!
P.S: She, that girl wrote an apology in my slam. — % &
