I’m in my last year of high school and I just want to ask: teachers don’t mind speaking to students about personal matters, right. Especially when it’s a lot. I’ve had a very shitty year and I’ve constantly gone to this one specific teacher for help. And even though she said it’s completely fine and she’s always here to support me, I can’t help but feel like I’m burdening her or taking up too much of her time. I even told her this, and she said it wasn’t like that, but there’s still that feeling

Of course not! If it “burdened” them, they would tell you. I would think they would be happy you feel comfortable talking to someone.
