I think you'll feel a lot better after you go, because you'll realize it's not as scary as you're thinking right now.

I sure hope so.

No one would EVER think that, or say that. This is their job- they are true professionals & I hope the lady you are going to will treat you with great respect!

I rather be "messed up" than ordinary... Shows that you are a real person... with real life situations, some good and some bad! Hang in there and good luck!

Aww... no matter how "messed up" you think you are, remember, this woman went into her profession because she feels for people who are suffering in this way, and she's studied many years to learn how to help them. She's on your side!

Also, you don't have to know what to say when you get there -- it's her job to ask questions and draw out the things you need to unload. All you have to do is show up and be willing.

Y'know, it occurs to me... sometimes when a person goes into counseling, the spouse and other family members get nervous, because they think the counselor is going to say they're at fault, they're the cause of the problems. Do you think your husband might be afraid of that?

Whatever's upsetting him, please try not to let it affect you. Just stay focused on getting the help you need... everything else will follow after that.

It's going to feel so good to speak freely about the things that trouble you! Don't be afraid!

I know thats his problem. He thinks its all about him. Honestly some of it is but not all of it. He kind of thinks everything in the world has to do with him. And im trying to make him see this isnt about him its about me.

No professional that I know of is going to call you crazy. you need someone to talk to and that's exactly how they'll help you. I know you're probably going to be shy at first, I was. But, my counselor refused to take any of our insurance cards our whatever last year and it sucked. I have went to her for forever but whatever and I am not going to another counselor unless I need to. I hope that you get the help you need.

I will keep you in my thoughts.
