I would like some advice because I'm a bit funny about the whole thing...
Basically, I'm 15 to 16 weeks pregnant and my midwife and doctor have been asking about depression and other things and suggested I see a counsellor, my boyfriend has been bugging me to also see someone for quite a while.
I was seeing a counsellor for 6 years and I stopped seeing one 2 years a go, which resulted to a few bad things. My older sister is bipolar and is on medication and I see how bad it gets and I REALLY don't want to be on medication.
I know the symptoms and it does get worse sometimes but I can be okay at times, and feel I can handle it but the main reason I haven't seen a counsellor for the last two years is starting from the beginning all over again, it's like repeating those 6 painful years of my life and I really do not want that, I really don't. I tried to say that to them but the profile on my past isn't convincing but its been years!
Just someone with advice and someone in a similar situation or know something about this, give me some advice please. If you're here to laugh or just take the piss please don't bother.
Qao Nk : What attitude problem? How can you tell if I'm being vague? What other details do you want to know? I don't know what else to include? Telling you why I use to see a counsellor would bore you all, as it's mainly in my early childhood and early teens and my problem has always been anger, self-harm and other things they say is part of being depress.
I'm just saying I know my depression was obvious then but now it's not as bad and I don't really want to start over again because it will be hard. I just wanted some advice.
