The fact that you are actively seeking counceling suggests you are ready to make a change and as for the boy, it sounds like you're probably better out of it....being single isn't so bad either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454924418992796740.post-36817770621239251082010-04-04T14:54:42.661-07:002010-04-04T14:54:42.661-07:00I think that it's worth taking up the counsell...I think that it's worth taking up the counselling, espescially if it's free. And maybe it'll be good to talk to a neutral person about the stuff going on Boy wise.<br /><br />xoxoZoe Fellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682810434087708516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454924418992796740.post-9866495293860896252010-04-04T14:54:11.546-07:002010-04-04T14:54:11.546-07:00I spent the best part of about 2 years in counsell...I spent the best part of about 2 years in counselling on and off. <br />The first lot, with a voluntary organisation was admittedly a bit crap. There was a lot of "what do your emotions look like?" I kid you not. "lets draw a picture of them"<br />I saw a social worker briefly who was very into the idea of drawing things and talking to my Dad. She said she'd book an appointment and then left the city.<br /><br />I even got to see a psychiatrist and go on meds for a while, I can't recommend that if its not absolutely necessary.Having said that I was scared of her, as were several other people with her as their doctor. <br /><br />By far the most useful (on a personal level) was something called the Girls Group, there was only ever 7 or 8 of us at most, an some weeks only two or three would turn up, sometimes we talked, or played board games or helped each other. Sometimes it was your week to be really focussed on and others it wasn't, I spent well over a year going there, getting properly well. More importantly I made some really good friends there, two of whom i'll see next weekend.<br /><br />So if you can find something that works for you do it! There's no shame in it, an it really, really helps.howlieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757445660926690084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454924418992796740.post-22240629701895506272010-04-04T14:49:29.640-07:002010-04-04T14:49:29.640-07:00counselling-wise - i've tried it, it helped a ...counselling-wise - i've tried it, it helped a bit. if its free, and you can find the time, i'd definitely go for it. it can't make things worse. xxrachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166808987308819679noreply@blogger.com
