Try going back to the counselor again. Do what I did and write down what you're going through and either show it to the counselor or mail it to them and request an appointment. Though I'd just make the appointment upright then bring in your list to show to the counselor, and come up with ways to try and solve your problems.
I'm actually thinking of doing the same again when I make a counseling appointment in the next few weeks or so, mainly since I tend to get so nervous talking to other people face to face about my problems that I think I might leave some things out or do something so that the problem doesn't get solved correctly or at all.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.
That's a really good idea. I was advised to do that ages ago, but never did. And you saying that has made me think again about maybe writing everything down and showing it to her (the counciller). However, I can't seem to explain it in writing...I just end up sounding like a moany exaggerating girl (which to be fair I most probably am. Seriously, other people have worse problems in life than me so what right do I have to feel like crap?).
Also, knowing me, I'll have it all written down but then I'll either wuss outta giving it to her, or give it to her then not answer any questions on it.
Yeah I get nervous talking to people face to face about emotions and other things - I get that horrible catch in my throat and chest - but I get that even when typing things like this.
I'm just such a coward when it comes to things like this. I can stand tall in a fist fight and not get scared, but try and talk to me about things, and I'd be very likely to run away (seriously...it's happened before).
But thank you anyway. And thanks for reading and replying and then reading this. Also thanks for saying that you'll be there for me...it means a lot.
