Um...I'm still feeling I'm just bothering here, so sorry about that.

I explained my situation in this topic (triggers hidden with code):

My question is...well...I'm not sure which topic I should write in, so I just chose this. So...
Is it useful to ask for help in real life?
I mean mostly only therapy. I don't want to take any type of medication.

When I finally asked for help (well, I might've skipped that too on my own; I was a bit forced to go by a few friends) back in school, I felt I wasn't taken seriously. I don't remember many good things about talking to the counsellor, actually, I remember the bad things better...also, my family is very conservative about these kinds of issues, so I've always been keeping quiet. (I think I wrote a bit more on this topic in the burnout topic I linked above.)

I don't even know if anything is available for students at uni...

I think I could send an e-mail to another counsellor - they held some career-related school activities for each class back in high school, and they were really kind (I went to X to talk, and never to Y). Maybe Y could give some advice because it's their profession after all. Well, it's been a few years since they held those lessons, but maybe...maybe I could just write to Y.
(I'm sure these things differ from country to country.)

So...I'm kind of stuck.


What I would like to ask is:

- Did you find it useful to ask for help?
- If so, did it help you?
- If you don't mind telling this, what kind of therapy did you do/do you do?

Thanks a lot for any kind of information. I will keep reading the forum, but I felt I needed to ask on my own too.
