Answer by MomSezNo
Not sure about “counseling therapist”, as I haven’t heard of that major or specialty. But RIT has school psychology and perhaps other specialties and I think Nazareth does, too. I would also think that UR has a program of some type of counseling or therapy, maybe Roberts, too. St. John Fisher?? Geneseo?? I’d check them all.

Question by T: Cop said, “drug addicts are useless.” What do you think?
I was watching cops today. There was a cop that pulled a woman over and said to her this is a known drug area. “Drug addicts are useless. They should all be swept off the streets.” Do you agree? Many drug addicts I’ve known are very creative talented people.

Yes I want the cops arresting people dealing hard drugs in my neighborhood. And users need help. I don’t understand why there is such negativity when it comes to drug addiction. Very little compassion. Drug addiction needs to be handled as a mental health issue instead of a crime. Jail just creates bigger drug addicts that turn to criminal behavior because no one seems to care enough to help.

Talk to someone about it. A good friend, or even a therapist. If you really think you may have depression then you can go to your doctor or therapist and tell them & ask them questions.

Thats probably the best thing you can do right now. Keep your head up high 🙂 my best wishes to you!

Question by Ivy Veleno: my “depression???” is killing my relationship… help?
i don’t know if i’m clinically depressed. i’ve never seen a therapist or psychologist or anything. but i’ve had a looonnnnggg history of being bullied, feeling worthless, neglected. i started hurting myself when i was 13.
i’m 20 now. i’ve been going out with my boyfriend for almost 4 and a half years
we have yet to have a “good year”
the first year we had to keep everything secret because of his crazy ex
the second year there were rumors that he cheated on me with 3 different girls, so i had a lot of trouble trusting him… i also had sex with him when i really wasnt ready this year
the third year was probably close to good, but i started having really big mood swings and periods of sadness
for the 4th year he was away at another school in a different state, while i started college and i barely saw him. i broke down on a daily basis without him due to feelings of constant rejection- or maybe just a total lack of confidence and self esteem. i couldnt find anyone to give a shit about me. all my friends vented to problems to me, but they would never hear me out. i didn’t have such a great support system. never did.
the following months, even though he’s home now, almost everything gets me agitated or upset. i keep getting sad over what seems like nothing. i’ve become so mean and nasty to him.
i hardly ever want to be close to him, or kiss him. when we hang out, i just buy him some big sandwiches and then we sit on the couch and watch movies. if i sleep over, i dont even let him touch me. every time he tries to initiate, i tell him to stop.
there are only a handful of times where everything went spectacularly. but about 90% of the time (especially more recently after some bad gyno experiences) i wind up crying because it hurts me, or i’m not comfortable, or i feel obligated, or i just feel like a complete failure because i never really learned how to “do” anything. i just kind of lay there like an extra pillow. i’m boring…. then i cry even more because i can’t satisfy him, i’m a disappointment. i can’t make myself like it.
he’s very VERY sexual and almost always ready to go… and now i’m this depressed, moody, frigid cold fish that doesn’t even want to kiss him.
i love him tremendously, and he loves me too. he’s been telling me that he’ll stay with my no matter what. but yesterday was especially bad and we almost broke up- or atleast took a break. and he swore that would never happen. he’s telling me that i’ve become predictable and unbearable, and frankly he just can’t take me anymore.
