I really think I need a counselor ...?

Question

Or someone to talk to.

It's not like there are any issues, like seperated parents or anything ... it's just that I've been through alot in a sense, I've been used and taken for granted by just about everyone, even my own cousins, who I always thought loved me and ... well ... always wanted to be with me. This summer I've been through that whole cousins-leaving-me-out, even though I am only a year younger than two of them. I've been left out at school and tend to be a loner.

I have mood swings [I think I'm bipolar] and I've been used everywhere by everyone it seems for all the wrong reasons. people come to me for me to give them advice, and I feel glad that I have someone to open up to, but then that person [who comes for advice] patches all their problems up and goes back to some other friend, leaving me alone.

I feel totally and completely alone a lot of the time.

My parents ... well I've tried telling them but I know they don't want to think that I need therapy. I know it hurts them but I feel terrible all the time.

I really, really need a counselor, in my opinion, or just someone to talk to .. but I just can't trust ANYONE anymore, because I've been betrayed and hurt. Too many times, by too many people.

I know that life moves on, but I think I've been scarred, maybe for life.

I'm a loving person, and I try to help everyone and I still love the people who have hurt me...

Please, please tell me if you think I need therapy/a counselor.

Answer 2

I think all you need is a really good friend.  Someone who you can confide in and trust and not have to worry.  Those are hard to come by these days (I still haven't found one), but in the mean time, maybe you could talk to your guidance counselor.  They deal with this kind of teenage angsty stuff all the time.  And as for you being bi-polar, I think you should hold off on that one.  It's a lot more serious and damaging than just mood swings.  

Answer 3

If you think you need a counsellor, then you may well be right, seeing as you know yourself better than anyone.

If you think you are bipolar, you should visit your doctor for that.. which may lead to you seeing a therapist.
