Hi Nicoleresati,

Your story only makes me think that you have a good counselor who wants to get to understand your situation before immediately recommending something. I don't think that you should be alarmed by what she is suggesting. I would also bring up any concerns you have the next time you see her just to clear the air. I agree with krminnj about making sure you don't have access to your father's gun.

I think that the more you are actively involved in the process of getting better yourself the more likely you are to do well. Keep on trying to understand what's going on in your own head. Keep trying to understand, what to do, what not to do, how you can heal. I'm sure lots of people here will be interested to see how you're doing over time.
