Hey Geri,
I'm glad you are hanging in there. I'm sorry that your nights are still difficult. I wish that you could see a doctor, because they probably could give you meds that would help with that. And the days feel so much better when you get good sleep in the nights.
If you are thinking about talking to the counselor at school, I think that would be a great idea. Bringing your friend would be terrific. There could be an advantage to talking to her before school gets out for vacation. It doesn't have to be a long talk - maybe even just that you've been a bit depressed and you would like to talk to her about it after vacation. I say this because I know that there have been times when it has really helped me feel better to know that there was someone who was willing to help me - even if I couldn't talk to them at the time. I expect that you will spend a little more time at home during vacation than you do when school is in session - and I certainly understand when you say that your home is triggering. My home is triggering to me, too - it represents all of the responsibilties that I feel like I can't handle right now. So I guess if I were you, that I would feel better over the vacation if I knew there was someplace that I could go (after vacation was over) where someone was willing to help me. Maybe that's just me - I'm a real planner. I like to have things lined up so that I always know that things will be OK.
I hope you have snow. It snowed last night here, and school was cancelled today. It looks really pretty.
I hope you can find some joy for Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas...!)
