I accidentally told my tutor about the stuff that happened in the summer. And she told the child welfare officer and she made me put in a request for the college counciller.
Havent got an appointment yet, but it may be soon. I'm so scared. The last time I saw a counciller I lied alot so that I could just leave... ...What if i do it again!? I burnt myself with my cigarette 3 times tonight. I dont know whether thats better than cutting myself or not. Probably not. It's probably the same. I need help. So seeing the counciller should be a good thing, but I dont know if it's going to help. And thats my update. Dunno what to do. Am I going to be like this all my life? It would seem so... I need a friend. I'm not going to make one. The one who helped me through summer now has a girlfriend and doesnt talk to me. I'm screwed haha! Hows everyone? xxxxx |

Maybe it wasn't accidental that you told your tutor. It might have been a subconscious call for help. I'm glad you'll be seeing a counselor. It sounds like you need one.
Do NOT lie to the counselor! Tell him/her the truth. That's the ONLY way that counseling will help. I'm sure you don't want to keep injuring yourself the rest of your life!  By getting this 'stuff' out, it's likely you'll come to the root of the problem and find out how to cope with it. It CAN be dealt with in a healthy way -- and with the proper help you can stop harming yourself for good!So make sure you go to counseling and be as honest as possible, ok? God bless & please take care. Hugs, Lee

Hello, Music Rules Me!
I tend to shut down in the face of people I perceive as hostile or as personally invested in the correctness of their own opinions. This can include doctors and therapists. In counselling and medicine, no information is far better than false information. I sometimes try to forestall my own tendencies to shut down by preparing printed statements ahead of time. That gives the professionals at least something accurate, and hopefully they'll do their jobs and make an effort to discover what else is necessary to resolve the problem or help. Wishing you clarity and strength for when you meet with the counsellor.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
