Question by alisona.: In your opinion, is counseling “worth it”?
For the past few months I have felt extremely fatigued, have had no appetite, and have felt quite listless and depressed. I visited a doctor who ran blood work to check for any physical symptoms, but who advised that no matter what the results return, I should definitely get counseling. Although I logically know that seeing a counselor is probably the best, I am also opposed to the idea. I am currently a high school junior wanting to go to college overseas if possible, and if not then out-of-state in the US. No matter how I do it, college will be very expensive and in the meantime I need to work at saving money and maintaining the best grades/test scores possible. Why would I want to waste the time, and more importantly money, on someone telling me to be optimistic about my teenager problems? I know that counseling is much more than that, but I still feel generally opposed to spending money that I need for college to see basically a paid friend. However, I have a naggy feeling that maybe I do need this. I’m not sure where I stand.
For those of you that currently see or have seen a counselor, or are close to someone who has/does, what are your thoughts? Opinions? Thank you.

However, here are some good self help tips:

Question by Chanel: Can depression lead to physical pain?
I have been very upset for about 5 months now…but I think that things really shifted over 3 months ago. Almost everything reminds me of why I am upset. I get sick a lot more than usual. My stomach is constantly hurting. And Lately my chest really hurts as well. Could this all be from depression? And I also don’t get much love and support… The only adult(teacher) that I do have in my life is leaving… and I will never see her again, I cry about it every night… I feel like a part of me is legitimately missing. Most of my family lives miles away. and it always seems that everyone important to me always ends up leaving. I cry myself to sleep evernight (secretly). What should I do? I can’t put up with all of this pain (emotionally and physically) . Also, I am only 14… I still have the rest of my life ( unfortunately) , help? Advice? Much appreciated…
