Hi Nikki,
I’ve been to counseling and it really helps! They will try to get at the root of your problems or stress and then offer solutions and goals for you. Really helpful
Hi there Nikkicar1,
DON'T WORRY atall its perfectly normal to feel that way. Counsellors have seen and dealt with so much worse. deep breaths we wouldnt be human if we didnt talk to someone about feeling a certain way.You wil be okay and it wil go fine u will feel better after it.
Go and see your councillor it’s s start. Our brains like mine are trying to find the magic Answer so that we can get rid of the horrible feeling. That’s why we turn to antidepressants. I have booked myself again for councilling. They won’t think your weird.
By counseling you mean seeing a therapist? If so, I always HIGHLY recommend therapy to fellow anxiety sufferers. I was so bad before I started seeing my therapist, she really has helped me so much in coping with my anxiety. I wish I had saw one sooner!
Oh also, if you don't like the person you see don't get discouraged! I saw another therapist actually before I found one this one that really helps me. Sometimes you have to test them out and find which one works best for u lol.
