Thank you wanttoheal...

I've really considered it, but I'm not sure what talking about it will do for me. I also don't know whether they'll let me. If I talk to them about finding one, they will probably be asking me to tell THEM about my troubles (for them to laugh or ridicule later) and asking what in the world they did wrong. After which my mother would probably go hysterical and my dad would be commenting on how much of a horrible person I am. lol My parents are somewhat overprotective, but they are only so because they have things that they want me to be. I'm thinking of secretly using the counseling services on campus, but I am really really afraid that my parents or someone I know will find out... I really do need to do something about it, but how much will counseling help?

Thank you everyone.
