When I was in HS, I became very attached to a teacher with whom I spoke to about some emotional problems I was having at the time. I was depressed, cutting, abusing drugs/alcohol, having suicidal thoughts and she did the best she could to help me through it. I looked at her as a mother figure in a way. I've been out of school since 2006, but I still feel like I want to talk to her. Not even about problems I'm having, I just want to talk to her about anything. Its like I wanna be friends with her. I thought these feelings would fade with time but they're not fading at all. I keep wanting to send her a facebook message, but I'm afraid that she will think I'm weird or crazy for doing it. I don't even know what I would say to her.

    Talk to her! I want to be a teacher, and I have befriended many teachers. She will not think you're weird or crazy. Teachers love hearing from their students. Seriously, connecting with your students is one of, if not the best, thing about teaching.

    Best sex I ever had was with teachers. Fond memories of my English teacher, a male, sucking my cock and a female university prof fucking doggy style. Good times and there are a lot of gay male teachers for you to get sucked off by out there.

    I don't think it's wrong for wanting to pursue a proper friendship with a former teacher/ mentor.
    I think it's great that you want to keep in touch with someone that's helped you when you were at your lowest.

    So go for it, I doubt she'd think you crazy or weird for saying hi.
    Since it's been quite some time since you've seen her, you can start by asking her how has she been the last few years. Take it from there?
