I certainly do not think that is "wallowing in self pity." Unfortunately, you/we are going to run into people who think any depression or expression of depressed mood is "wallowing in self pity." Those people cannot genuinely help us.
That counselor might be a good source for school and career issues, but not for depressed mood problems. You deserve someone who will listen to you and carefully assess your symptoms without slapping a simplistic label on them. If there's
anyone at your school you respect or think you could trust, even if they are not your assigned counselor or teacher, seek them out.
