I had considered the idea of having a thread for counselling for Emma, where she can post whatever she wants, and those who care can try to engage with her and see if we can help her sort herself out.

I decided against this. She has *serious* issues and needs serious, professional counselling (or psychotherapy). We are not qualified to take this job on, and can't guarrantee the reliability and steadiness of support she needs.

Emma, if you read this, speak to your school teacher or school counsellor about getting some regular sessions where you can talk about whatever is on your mind. Best of luck to you.
