Question by Socially Awkward Answer Guy: should I talk to my school counselor about my depression? are there any consequences?
I’m a 13 year old in the 8th grade. The school guidance counselor(s) already know about me. I mainly would have to talk to one, but recently I talked to another because I was depressed and worried about my grandmother who had abnormal foot bleeding. the one that I mainly would have to talk to, I’ve only been to her three times, but she knows I”m depressed. A lot of my friends hate her. She can be a little rude, and quick to diagnose kids. It’d be like, her:”do you get angry sometimes? student:”yeah, I can be straight up, angry, yeah” her:”I think you have anger-management issues” yeah that’s the kind of stuff that would happen. not good, right? I’m a depressed 13 year old who might have post-paranoia-disorder which pretty much means I think that everyone hates me and is out to get me and I have suspicions of everyone. When I go on the internet, discuss my depression with some online friends on some chat (they’re nice to me… usually… recently I got paranoid about them…) or if I ask a question here about my depression, they say that I should go to therapy or a counselor. I don’t want to not be able to get into a good college or boarding school because I am depressed or paranoid and that some how gets in my record. I really just want to find someone who I feel understands me, that I can trust and cry to. Kind of like a harem anime. But I haven’t found that person yet… but a fortune teller once told me I’ll find a lover once in my life. I don’t know if I should go to the counselor. My mom might be angered if she figures out. I’m afraid of the consequences, will this go down on my record? will I be sent to some loony place? ugh…

Question by onnajaja: Any books on tape about psychology, social work, or clinical therapy?
I am in the field of social work/psychology in college and want to learn more about it. It would be nice to pop in a tape, cd, or track on my ipod and learn something. (either by listening to someone’s views or listening to a book)

I am going to eventually have my own practice and be a clinical therapist. It would be nice to see something along the lines of that topic.

Any info is appreciated! Thanks

Go to amazon.com home page. Click on “Books” in the lefthand border. Now you will bring up a page in which you can search on subcategories of different formats of books. In the top blue menu bar, find the pulldown menu next to the word, “search.” Choose “audiobooks” from this list. Then enter the words you want to search on in white text box next to this. For example, “psychotherapy” or “counseling.” The only things that will come up in your search will be audiobooks. There are quite a few to choose from.
