(((((Everyone))))) Thanks. Sorry it's taken me a stupidly long time to reply, it's been a busy week!

Anyway, this was the first thing I brought up at counselling on Tuesday, and my counsellor said that she was glad I did because she'd been worrying about it as well - my parents used the excuse that they didn't see anything wrong with me as a reason for me to stop going to therapy last time, and she was worried I'd feel the same thing was happening again. So she's refined it to say that she doesn't think I'm ill, but there are things that I'd like to change, which sounds fine to me.

She's also referred me (with my permission) to a clinical psychologist on campus, who does CBT work, because although her approach has certainly been interesting (talking through problems to try and find the cause, I guess is the way I'd put it), and I think it has helped in some areas, I'm pulling my hair out as much as ever despite having been going to counselling for about six weeks. CBT seemed to help quite a lot the last time I did it, so I'm hoping it'll have the same effect this time.

Thanks again!
