I have never had professional help for my mental health and have opened up to only two people that were not very supportive nor understanding.
I plan to man up and go to the counseling office that my college provides for a talk about my depression and obsessive thoughts. I expect that there will be a therapy session where the counselor and I will be talking. I am super nervous and afraid about lots of things that will possibly happen. I am not sure what to expect but I am afraid that I won't be open enough to get real help. I imagine that I will be too embarrassed to say certain things and maybe not comfortable enough to talk honestly. I am also worried that I will end up crying so much at a certain point that I won't be able to talk or that I will be incomprehensible. I am most worried that the therapy is not going to help me and that I will be hopeless for the rest of my life.
Can you guys share me your story of the first therapy session if you ever had one?
I am not sure where to post this, so I posted here where I thought it fit the most. I apologize if it's not in the right place.
