I mean you can still just keep talking to her, listening to how she feels, like genuinely listening (which I’m sure you do) that shit always helps me a little bit when it feels like no one else listens. and the school counselor thing (sometimes it doesn’t help) it didn’t help for me

I mean u can’t make her go or get better. She has to want to. I say that as someone who hasn’t talked abt seeing a counselor for over a year and just finally set up an appointment

It wasn’t easy, especially since I’m a man and feel like I can’t be vulnerable

I also figured as much, thank you.

I hope you are doing better, there’s nothing wrong with feeling vulnerable.
