:( Sorry to hear you feel this way, if their is anything I can do please let me know, the fact of the matter is that you need to tell the counsellor about how you feel about being afraid to open up and basically tel her/him everything you said here and they will take a different approach.

I guess I just put myself in a position where I knew I had to go and if I didn’t I’d get grief from people, so it was better to go to the counsellor and stick it out until I opened up instead of not going and face the never ending grief at home.

a year past my teens…

i kind of ’stalked’ your profile and it seems that you’re seeing one now though…? How did you manage to overcome this?
