So uh...

for those of you who have gone to counseling, can you tell me about your experience? I'd like to know because I was thinking about it. (Therapy experiences work too.)

oh okay!

umm. well. basically, you can talk about anything u want, and they can't really tell ur parents anything unless it's about self-harm or suicidal thoughts. umm. most of the therapists I've been to are really nice, and I'm sure most/all are really nice too, but I've only really been to like 4- and there are a L O T anyways, sometimes they have little activities and stuff. i guess (the way I see it) it's kind of like having a new really close friend that you can talk to about anything!!

I need one right away, then.

I'd need to beg so my parents would remember. I wanted a therapist, but it's been a month ever since we went to the hospital to pick up some papers for some recommended doctors.

I'll be your therapist

I'm being serious

only if your parents say no though

ive been to both (school) counselling and therapy

basically u just let ur feelings out to them, at the start of it they tell u something across the lines of "we wont say anything to anyone else unless its life threatening" so if ur in danger or someone else is

school counselling sucked a bit but thats because schools suck in general when it comes to mental health, basically the counsellor was asking how my week was and would ask questions and how i felt and then told me to go in depth with it, like describe my feelings in colours or textures

and with therapy its just more professional

and with therapy theyre more helpful with telling you things that u need to know like how to manage ur feelings n help with copying mechanisms!

i ended up dropping therapy cuz i found opening up about things rlly hard and i didnt feel safe with the virus AND i was rlly lazy

yeah! if your parents say no, Fox and me will always help (and a bunch of other ppl too) you're so kind!!! i don't know who WOULDN'T want to help you! but I'm sure if you beg them and don't stop they'll give in eventually

I have backup plans if my parents say no.
