Going to get counselling is incredibly hard! I would have never gone if I felt like I had a choice - but there was a counsellor at the psych appointment and the appointment was then made and then I went and I'm the sort who sticks with something that's like a commitment to me. So I go.

I think my counsellor doesn't always feel like he's doing much for me, but he does know that just GOING to the appointment and talking to him about how I actually feel is by far the scariest thing and that participating is the best thing for me in my opinion.
