I am in high school, and the school is presenting this thing called "Every 15 Minutes". And it's supposed to make us never want to drunk drive, which they accomplish by simulating a car crash and pulling random students from classes and declaring them dead and the students are made up to look like ghosts and they wander around campus not talking to anyone for two days. REALLY creepy. In english class this morning, my very best guy friend was pulled out and declared "dead" from a drunk driver. I had to go home, I just broke down in the middle of class. It was so awful. I couldnt stop crying for like two hours and I was hyperventilating and my friend was holding me and gently telling me "Just remember it's not real. He's fine, he's pretending to be dead. He'll be back" and I couldn't explain why I was freaking out so much. Car crashes and ghosts and death are my MAJOR triggers and here they all were!!!

And I can't miss anymore school, I really cant. But there's gonna be mock funerals tomorrow and I have to go to the school play's rehearsals today and I'm one of the leads but the "ghosts" will be there cos two of the other actors are "dead". I don't know what to do, I've been doing all the techniques my therapist taught me to calm down and remember what is really happening and what is real and it's not working!
