Answer 1

Speaking as a person who sees a psychiatrist for post traumatic stress disorder, I suggest you find a new counsellor and tell that person everything you have just typed here. They can't help you if you are not open and honest with them.

Good luck to you

Answer 2

talk to family members or close friends.. see a doctor they will prescribe medicine for you to take to help. you could also send yourself to a mental institution (u said u didnt think you were right in the head) and get help there...  

Answer 3

baby,, getting meds and a pshyc for my bipolar was the best thing i ever did for myself.. i waited til i was in my early 20's.. wish i didnt.. seems u didnt have a decent counselor in the 1st place if u didnt even open up to him/her.. theres free clinics that will help with getting help and meds:) good luck

Answer 4

I think you should see another counselor. I suppose the biggest step is admitting that you have a problem, isnt it. If you are still down then yes, you dont want it getting any worse. Also, how do you get a counsellor?

Answer 5

I think you are in desperate need of counseling still. Please find another person that you trust and talk,talk,talk.  Nothing wrong with starting over with a new counselor...maybe they will have some new advice to help you along. I have a counselor and have several in the past. Each new person has something to offer and I think you would benefit from that.  conratulations on not cutting anymore..that's a big step. Be proud of yourself. The otc drugs can be conquered to. You overcame one obstacle I am believing you can overcome the drugs also.  My best to you...

Answer 6

i know it's really hard to find someone you trust to talk to.

but you have to find someone, and it may take a few people before you find the right counselor, but in the end its worth it.

you owe it to yourself to take care of yourself.

if i was in your situation (and i have been) i would find a new counselor.

it can change your life for the better.
