Wow... I forgot!

I feel very blergh today.
You've all told me advice about what to do, but my brain is just making up excuses to not listen to them.

Firstly, I went to see my school counsellor in year 8 when my parents divorced, and she told me, out of all the things she possibly could have said, not to blame my dads gf (who he cheated on my mum with) because its not her fault she was out looking for a man the same time he was looking for a woman... that was not the sort of thing a 13 year-old wants, or needs to hear above everything else.

Then my mum took me to a relationships australia counsellor, the same year, who asked me a lot of questions that I hadnt been comfortable telling anyone else, and she went straight away and told my mum.

My CBT psychologist that I had when I first took myself to a doctor never had anything to say... we sat in silence mostly.. and only had 1/2 hour sessions.. then he told me he was leaving a day before he left, told me he'd call me to arrange a new psychologist, and never did...

I can't take any more professionals doing stuff like that... I have the lowest self esteem ever, and I have since I was younger than 8 and each time they let me down, I take it personally...

Maybe lazy's not the right word to describe me.. just too overwhelmed by fear of failing and inadequacy to do anything... the hsc is kinda hell..

I've been trying to see my year advisor all day today, but she's been busy... I just... I don't know

sleep in heavenly peace... slee-eep in heavenly peace

Happy bday 4 2moro xxx
School counsellors suck, Relationships Aus suck.
See yr Gp, lay it all out & ask 4 help.
There's such a thing as doctor/patient confidentiality. Doin VCE yr of an age that nothing should b repeated without yr consent.
Take care

finding a good professional is trial and error... keep looking... from your past experiences you know how you have been betrayed and let down... this gives you some power in the relationship ... you can ask some questions of the professional before you commit to therapy with them... use this to your advantage...

I would also like to congratulate you on thinking about how you describe yourself... it is good you realise that you are not lazy... but overwhelmed and afraid... recognising the feelings is part of the process to gaining some control in your life...

I hope you get to see the school adviser... get as much information as you can about your options...

i know the thought of repeating the year is not one you want to hear... but it is an option... and should be considered... you will not prioritise it highly... but it needs to be there... as mature age entry after working for a while... your life and career is not over with this year... be open to possibilities...

take care

Happy birthday.

Maybe your psychiatrist if you are seeing one or your gp can recommend another psychologist. Mine did but it has been some months since I have seen her due to things coming up when I have an appointment.

Go Nothingnew!!!

First of all, happy birthday! Second of all, school counsellors really do suck, I know all about it. Third of all, I know how hard it can be to lay it all out on the line with a professional and then feel as if they throw it back in your face. When I started trying to get help I went to see a psychologist - I told her stuff I'd never told anyone. A few days later I got a call from her saying she wouldn't see me anymore because she didn't know what to do with me - she actually said those words. It took a long time to trust another professional again. I went through 4 psychologists and 6 psychiatrists before I finally found ones that I trusted and 'clicked' with. It isn't easy, but it is worth it in the long run. Try not to give up. xx
