> are you on any medication...maybe give that a try along with counseling.
i've got some diazepam prn. i've taken it maybe twice in the past week. maybe 5 days apart. but i'm a bit worried about it (have a history of drug abuse etc). last time it worked really well. i guess i was wound up into a right state and it really helped relax me. this time... it didn't work quite so well. i guess because it was more of a sad / painful feeling than a wound up feeling. sad / pain is consistent with feeling relaxed while anxious isn't i guess :-(
> but remember you don't have to stay with the first person you meet with.
er... well... i do really. because my only option is to go along to uni councelling services and see what they might be prepared to offer me. i can't even email them because they don't do emails (they say they don't trust they are secure. that is their official story anyway). i think the saying 'beggars can't be choosers' might apply here... i don't even know if you get any say in who you see. i think they just assign you someone. because... it is meant to be done on a 'once off' kind of basis. go with a particular problem... and you might get a few sessions out of them. but i guess that is it. that is what they are designed to do. and there has been a cut back in student services fees... so i'm figuring that may well mean a cut back in services (starting next semester) too.
