Advice For Making The Most Of Counseling
When I was first offered counseling like most people I found myself thinking but I am not mad or anything like that, I am quite sane I just don’t like my life very much and the way I feel alot of the time.
Little did I know then this would be the best thing that I could possible do for me at that moment in time.
Talking to a complete stranger and off loading everything and anything I felt negative about and just being able to talk to someone outside of my situation kept me sane.
After year I still revert back to counseling as and when I feel I need it, being able to talk to someone who doesn’t know me at all gives me great strength to be totally honest and not hold back on what I am feeling and thinking.
I call my councilor my sounding board and we all need one of them even if they are disguised as our parents, our friends or even our partners without knowing it we seek this in every aspect of our lives.

For a person who has psychology trouble, a good friend, who is willing to listen to your story, is the best doctor.
After years of depression and anxiety, i begin to share my story with my friends and do not let my depression state last a long time.

I dont think I tell my friends why I am depressed even if I did think they could understand or would want to even know.
Its very personal and raw for me to talk about what happened in my past that got me to where I am today.
Not even my family know the genuine reason for my depression I have kept it to myself for what feels like forever.
Ever since my depression ive had to keep everything to myself and I cant even seem to open up to strangers?
I think sometimes this is my punishment to myself.
