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…
