ive taken anti-depressants since i was 14 ( im 18 in september ) and want to know how beneficial councelling is on the way to recovery? the pills seem like a shield, but does councelling actually get rid of the root of the problem?
soon im seeing a councellor for the first time. and i was just wondering if anyone on here has one? and i would just like to know how i can actually open up enough to them without breaking down. ( i am struggling to hold back the tears just typing this) Is there any kind of technique/way to stop yourself crying? i cant even contemplate telling someone what it feels like to walk down the road looking at buildings and wondering whether jumping from it would kill me. Please help
councelling.....

Hi TheUsed,
Welcome to the Forum.
If you have a look at the Depression Learning Path, in addition to getting some really useful information there's also good advice on what type of counselling is effective.
There are also very effective therapists involved with this forum and there is a register at the Human Givens Institute, I notice that there is a therapist in Kent.
A good therapist should be able to make you feel comfortable, and will not dwell unduly on your uncomfortable feelings, but will concentrate more on what you want, and on changes to achieve that.
Let us know how you get on.
