start one on one counseling tomorrow
| Mon, 01-12-2004 - 9:13pm |
I am going to start seeing a counselor tomorrow for my up and down depression/ emotions. I must admit, I am kind of nervous. I know my counselor - she held a body-esteem workshop I attended a few months ago and she is really nice and caring. I just know I'm going to cry, though - I hate to cry. I think, though, my non-crying days are over because I've found it is harder and harder to hold back the tears. I really don't know where to start with her, I mean, what to tell her and all. I know that part of my depression stems from my absolutely non-existent self-esteem. I can't really look back on my life and think of a time when I was quite comfortable in my skin. I think almost all of my problems come from my lack of self worth. I hope this works out, though - I hope I can unload and find some peace and start being happy again. I suppose we'll see, though...

Good luck with your appointment. Don't worry about not knowing what to say, your counsellor will be there to help things along. And crying, well girl, it has to come out some time. Trust me, some times I've cried so hard I couldn't talk. It's okay to cry.
Let me know how it goes, okay sweetie?
Take care

Kat,
good luck with the counseling session, dont worry about crying let it all out it took me a while to accept crying into my life I always saw it as a show of weakness until my therapist told me that it is okay to cry that it hurts more to hold it in than to let it out......
Maybe you should write a few things onto paper and bring it with you to your session that way you can give it to her and find a starting place, I agree with the depression may be caused by lack of self esteem and self worth I like you have never had any self esteem or felt much self worth I hope for you the counseling works well for you and helps you with your self esteem.
best of luck to you and keep us posted on how it goes.
