Will Counselling Help Me?? Posted: 02-19-07 11:49am
hey, i'm in a really bad place at the
moment it terms of mentality and i feel
that there is no way that i will ever feel
happy.
I'm constantly depressed and everybody is
picking up on it around me and questioning
me about it. I do no tknow why i feel like
this but it is beginning to get on top of
me and affect my life as a whole. I have
contemplated suicide many times as i
sometimes feel i would be better off.
It has been recommended to me that i have
conselling but i am not sure if this will
work because i don't know too much about
it.
Has anybody had counselling? or are you a
counsellor? i just need to know what i
should do.
counseling is really good. i would go if
i were you , they talk with you to figure
out why your depressed etc and possibly
set u up with a psychiatrist to get on
some kind amedication even to see if that
helps.

Yes counseling can be very helpful
especially if you get cognitive training
to learn how to help yopurself feel
better. Learn how to catch the thinking
errors you are making that cause
depression and anxiety and counter those
thoughts in a tea form thought countering
exercise and you will start to feel better
soon. If your health insurance won't cover
cognitive training go to your library and
read the book by sam obitz on overcoming
anxiety and depression, it is an easy book
and outlinbes the tea form exercise really
well.

Seeing a therapist can help you if you
want it to. You see there are some people
that "like" being sad and feeling sorry
for themselves. Then there are people that
actually are sick and need help. They can
help you find out what exactly is causing
you to feel sad and give you ways to help.
Look into it. I have had Therapy and can
honestly say it helps. The key is to go
consistantly. Dont just stop because you
think you are better or you are
uncomfortable. Good luck. And just for the
record, death is permanent, your condition
doesnt have to be. You can be happy again.

Sure! Counselling is the best thing you
can do. It helps you to see things
differently and it also makes you feel
better once you get the chance to tell
what you think and feel to someone who
bothers and to someone who can really help
you.
It can be hard in the beginning, but it
will get better.

I think counseling is good for sorting
things out in your head, but I truley
don't think it helps with depression at
all. I went to a couple of counseling
sessions and I didn't feel any better at
all. What I do know 100% for sure is that
Negative Emotional Release Treatment
worked for me. I released all of my
depression and anxiety in four treatments.
I absolutely love it... I am so passionate
about this treatment that I talk about it
every day.. I try to find people that I
know with depression or anxiety so I can
help them out by telling them about it.
Everyone that has gone that I know of, has
also released all of their depression, and
anxiety.. the one person had anger
emotions retained as well, and they were
released as well.
take care

warren have you tried cognitive training?
it is much different than traditional
therapy and much better in my opinion.
