Off to counseling...again

I decided that I'm going to call the on campus counseling center tomorrow. I've felt so sad lately and I really couldn't tell anyone why. I just sit in my bed and start crying even if I try to hold it back. I wasn't taking my meds for a few days (I got out of the habit and now I have to get back in.) I think that might be a huge part of it. But I'm going to go and talk to someone. I worry. There have already been two suicides on campus within the last month and I don't want to make it three. Even though I don't think I would ever attempt to kill myself. I'm too much of a coward. Wish me luck though. I feel kind of akward going to a counselor.
 
Aww. I know. That's why I lurk around a lot. Hopefully it'll help. I was in therapy for a couple of years and it didn't do a super lot. Maybe this time will be different.
 
If the counselor is even half-way competent, he/she will let you talk with out interrupting, and listen without judgement.

Hang in there. Almost everything changes. Including the paths on which our lives seem to travel.
 
I went to the counseling center for my appt. on Friday. The gal I'm seeing is a grad student, but that's fine with me. I just need someone to talk to. I have another appt. on Monday. It was nice. But I started crying when I was talking about my Grandpa. He died 10 years ago. I think this will be really good for me, but she'll probably have me see someone over the summer too. Oh well, I'll just use my mom as a sounding board then. Anyway, I just wanted to fill you all in on what happened. I don't like to leave ya hanging. :tongue:
 
It's a wonderful thing to have someone to talk to. Someone who won't judge you for all the weird shit that goes on in your head. I've had good experiences with this. I've also had poor ones. But, in the end, no matter what your remembrance of it was, it always felt better just to shoot from the hip and not worry about what the listener is thinking.

I hope all goes well.
