DR: Hi everyone am DR Rhodes but you can all call me Gemma. I would like you both
to introduce each other starting with Hannah, it can just be your name.
Hannah: Hi, I’m Hannah
Emily: Hello, I’m Emily
DR: Great start! Today I would like to ask you a question and take a moment to think about it but
why are you both here today? ...Emily would you like to start?
Emily: Sure... Well erm it all started a few months ago when my dad died, I felt like I was lef all alone
I had no one to speak too. You see my dad was my world and losing him made my life a lot harder as
my mum had lef us when I was just a few days old.
DR: Remember Emily you are never alone you have people out there that care for you and want to
help you and that’s why you’re here today because you’re not alone.
Emily: well I didn’t know that before and that’s why I used to cut myself until one day one of my
teachers had saw a scar and asked me if everything was okay. I I tried to keep my tears in but I
couldn’t… so I burst into tears and told her everything...that’s why I'm here today.
DR: You did the right thing of telling her because you might not be here today if you didn’t. What
about you Hannah why are you here?
Hannah: well it started when I was doing my GCSE'S, I was overwhelmed by everything and I was not
eating and sleeping well as I was too stressed. I thought that if I took a break I will miss out on
valuable time on studying. And well it caught up to me one day just before I was walking into my
exam I was finding it hard to breath...I felt like the world was spinning and that’s when I had my first
ever panic atack.
DR: Your diet and the amount of sleep you have afects your health in many ways that we
don’t realize until we have a major incident such as panic atacks or eating disorders.
Hannah: I then started to starve myself. It afect my relationship with my parents and siblings
because I didn’t want to be around them I as I felt that I was the ' black sheep of the family'. Then
one day I took an overdose and ended up in hospital.
DR: This is a good start! Talking about your problems help you because you haven't botled it all up
and wait for something to happen and it all come out or makes you do something as terrible as
talking your own life. Enough with a negative let's go to the positive. If you had a magic wand, what
positive changes will you make in your life now?
Emily: I would bring my dad back. It would stop everything I'm doing now and make my life complete
again. However, I know that this is impossible, so... I think my life would be beter if I stopped self-
harming and focus on the good things in life, like my dream job.
DR: And what job do you want to have?
Emily: I would love to be a teacher, I love children and if I'm able to teach them something new that
really would make me happy.
DR: That’s great Emily, teaching is a fantastic career to get into. Now Hannah, what positive changes
would you like to see in your life?
Hannah: Well, I would like to become a midwife. So, to make my life positive, I'm determined to
make my grades excellent, so I'm going to re sit my GCSEs and achieve the best I can. I'm also going
