Being that I only spoke to my mother vaguely concerning getting professional help this doctor wanted me to first speak to a guidance counselor that works in the mental health dept for adults. The guidance counselor doesn't do it for a living yet rather to help others.

I met with him yesterday. What surprises me the most about it is that I told my parents I'm going out and they allowed it. Generally when such a statement is made their are a dozen follow up questions regarding why, when, where, with who, when I'll be back..... guess their minds were on other things at the time.

Not sure about the actual meeting. First time in years where I didn't lie through every question or remark. One thing he mentioned was that just like he's asking me questions I can ask him too. The question on my mind for him was did he ever SH. I asked him before I lost my nerve and though I assumed the answer he confirmed that he did indeed resort to self harm. It was more of a conversation and discussion after that rather then him asking questions and me answering.

I will be seeing him again. Though im not sure where to take it after.
