I suggested typing it out to a friend of mine who's recently become mute. But she just taps Morse code to people who know it and types to those who don't.
Talk about anything!
You could always use a knocking system for basic communication!
I know ASL enough to get by, but literally no one else around here knows ASL as well.
Pen and paper? Typing it out onto a phone?
Takes too long (though I did write a generic message on a piece of paper to explain to the teachers that if they made me talk they'd be putting me in a lot of pain so ya know please don't and stuff of the like). My school wouldn't like me typing stuff out on my phone.
Thank you, though, lovely Peridot.

Recently become mute? How does that happen, is it like trauma or depression induced? Sorry if I seem insensitive, I don't really know about mutism

No problem. On the bright side at least, you won't have to worry about being called up to answer questions!

She tried to kill herself by slitting her throat and well… The vocal cords…
She's fine now, though…

Well I had a panic attack yesterday and had to run offstage during a choir concert….my arms went numb, my vision blurred around the edges, and everything sounded echoy.

I think so?
I was really anxious all day, and then in the auditorium I really wanted to ask my choir director if I could not sing/go into the hallway, but I was scared because I would have had to walk in front of a ton of people to do so. I got onstage and as soon as I was up there, I started to get a headache, my arms went numb, my vision got all white and fuzzy around the edges, my stomach started to hurt, everything started to echo and I couldn't hear. After the first song I ran offstage and drank a crapton of water from the water fountain and then my mom came and took me to the car. I stayed home from school today since I couldn't sleep last night and I got pretty sick.
I'm doing better now though.
My sympathies dude.

Oh gods, that's awful…Hope she's been able to recover from that trauma, is she getting the help she needs? Like, seeing a therapist?

first one was an ass and now she won't go see one. That's where I come in. I can do everything a therapist does, but I urge her to get professional help.
I ironically had to be her therapist after she got back from the therapist's…

It's a shame that the first therapist was bad - a bad apple will make the rest of the stock seem rotten. But yes, therapy is a better option for helping people learn the physical and mental tools so they don't fall back into depression.

You are a good person for supporting your friend, most people wouldn't be as helpful as you :)
Likewise, you've got a good head on you, stay awesome!
And I'm aware that not all therapists are bad, but she is smol anxious bean.

Thanks, you too! :)
I support protecting smol bean, hope she gets the help she deserves!
She's unfortunately the biggest cinnamon roll I've ever met. She's been through so much shit and she's still so nice and funny. Poor depressed bean.
