Counselling

[LonelyGirl]

Have you ever spoken to a counsellor about SA? I'm thinking of going to see the counsellor at university, but I'm worried they won't understand. I'm not really looking for someone to cure me, just someone to listen to me and understand what I'm going through. I've had some bad experiences with "professionals" in the past and I know other people have too. It put me off seeking help for years and I've only just started to consider it. Are your experiences positive or negative? Should I go or would it be a waste of time?

Consellors are not ususally there to cure you. I know from experience that they are constantly fully booked and extremely busy - Student depression is very common. So they are used to people like us going to them. I wouldnt hesitate. Its worth a try right?
