I finally told someone. Mood
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
I told my dad tonight about my depression.  I told the suicide help line guy i would and told some people on here also that i would try so i got up the courage to do so.  Dad said we will see what we can do about it so now i might actually get the help i need.  I am afraid of whats to come now.  I mean i will have a doctors appt set up to see if it is a hormonal imbalence or a side effect of my birthcontrol pills i just started.  If it is then they will give me some pills to try and fix it i guess.  Dad said they make you sleepy though, and i am sleepy enough the way it is.  they might give me a counciler also.  I am most scared of this i think.  I mean i have to talk to a stranger face to face, and tell them all my problems.  I hope i have the courage to tell them everything and not keep any of my bad experiences to myself.  I think it will take some time though.

    Hey, if you do get a counselor, don't feel rushed. Take the time you need :)

    It is scary opening up to a stranger. Take your time as criedtheraven said. Make sure you are completely comfortable with the counselor. It is your right to feel safe and comfortable. There are plenty out there if you don't like one. Don't worry about pleasing them. They are there to help you. If you feel they aren't helping, you can stop with them and find a new one.

    Be safe hun. You are a special person and worth people's time and love. Remember that!

    AHA, that's why you didn't write it in email, it's in your journal.
    okay then, lol...
    next time just say read journal. I know it's hard writing over and over to friends, so I usually put updates in journals too.
    didn't think of that when I was writing to you.
    I"M SO PROUD OF YOU, I really am. lots of courage, and very brave. and a lot stronger than you think you are.
    big hugs

    Good on you! I am so glad that you opened up and talked about what you were feeling.

    Please don't be disapointed if things don't get better over night and be happy about it if they do.

    Life is a work of art. Just keep trying things till your happy with it but give your changes time to grow on ya.
