My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.
advice
I've been feeling so down and so lonely for a while. I'm not the kind of girl that likes to express my feelings with people only cause I really don't want to worry them. I'd rather keep everything to myself. I don't think it's working cause it only makes me
feel more and more down each day. at first I started off with feel down, then i started to stay up late thinking, now I just wanna cry at random times of the day but I hold everything in cause I don't want to worry anyone and I cry myself to sleep a lot of the times. it's only gotten worse. I honestly think I should talk to someone but I just can't /.\ whenever I'm around people I always act like I'm alright but when I'm by myself I just cry a little , any advice would be great ? thanks /.\
I think I know how you feel. There are just times you need to talk, to get things out of your system. You need to talk to someone who will hold your confidence and not belittle you as we parents sometimes do, unfortunately.
The person that best fits this description is a trained therapist, probably a psychologist. If you are under 18 and still living at home then you need to speak to one of your parents to make the initial appointment for you.
The best way to go about this is just the way you told us. If your a female I would add to assure your parent you are not pregnant as this is the first thing that pops into the head of a girls parents. So just tell them you feel the need to see a therapist to work out some personal problems as your are feeling depressed. Depressed and down are the same but depressed will have more impact on your parents.
Finding a therapist you are comfortable with sometimes takes going through more than one or two therapists until you find one you are comfortable in telling your deepest darkest secrets two. Your therapist is going to be you best friend in that way. For everything you say in therapy stays in therapy. Especially if you are over 14 years of age. Everything that is said in therapy stays in therapy.
Lets say for example something at home is bothering you. Your therapist might suggest inviting your parents to a therapy session. Your therapist will be there to support you and help you explain to your parents what it is at home that is bothering you and what can be done to fix it. But only that problem will be discussed with them and nothing else. You are in control, if you don't want a joint session it doesn't happen.
Your parents can ask what is going on but as far as specifics of therapy they cannot be told as it is confidential. Only you can authorize release of information and it must be in writing as to who can have access to what is happening in therapy.
(Rating: 5) your right /.\ ima have to go to a therapist but I don't wanna :/
