Who Can You Turn To?
I've been feeling kind of depressed today. I feel very anxious a lot of the time, and I tend to have intrusive thoughts (or what could be called intrusive thoughts) about my parents' divorce. The divorce happened awhile back when I was five, but I'm still sad about it....I mean, who wouldn't still be sad about it, if there was a mean little voice in their head screeching, "You see?? This is EXACTLY why it had to happen! Everything could have stayed the same if you had just tried harder to be good and do things right!" every time they made a mistake or screwed up. That's what it's like for me.
So, I did what I should have done a long time ago, and went over to the Campus Health Services building to see about a counseling appointment. I figured that whoever I talked to there could maybe make the Mean Voice in my head go away. However, once I got to the front desk and asked about an appointment, the nice woman there (who happens to like Smurfs as much as I do) told me that the Counseling Center was booked up for about another 3 - 4 weeks. I asked her if I could call back after some time passed, and she said yes and gave me a brochure with phone numbers on it.
So, my question now is, who am I supposed to talk to about my problems? I don't want to burden anyone with my issues, and I don't want to be judged, either. I guess that's why I surround my self with stuffed animals, imaginary friends, and the like - they always listen without judging, are always there for you, and would always die before doing anything that would hurt you.
How did I manage to survive in the days before I began to retreat to my private world (s) ? I really don't know....
