If anybody wanted to know...I did go and see my coach in person earlier this week...and we kind of just talked because I was feeling extremely nervous. We did talk about my issues a little though, and she recommended that I go and see a school counselor because she is trained for stuff like this...of course, that made me even more nervous, but I did go to school the next day, and I did set up an appointment for later in the week. Needless to say, it was a LONG week...but Thursday rolled around and I was strongly considering not going. But I did my best to push aside all my emotions, and I went. Now my counselor thinks that I should talk to a mental health professional from a local organization because she believes I may have depression. I don't mind that idea, but the issue is that I would have to have parental permission because I am under the age of 18. And I have a huge issue with telling my parents things. I told the counselor this, and we talked about that a little. I'm not very good at opening up though, so we didn't get very far in that category...I am going back to see the counselor next Thursday, and we are going to talk a little more about what I'm thinking and if I think I can tell one of my parents...I am going to try to be open, it is just kind of awkward for me. It isn't something I normally do. But I'm trying.
I guess that is the update for what has been going on in my life, I hope everyone is doing well!
