Honesty in counselling.
Hi,
Sorry for posting. And sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I suffer from depression and anxiety. I hate visiting my GP, purely because i feel like i'm there ALL the time. Constantly nagging him. He tells me not to worry, but i do. So i have an appointment with a uni counsellor soon. Two weeks away i think. But i'm not sure how honest i should be.
Don't get me wrong, i want help. But i'm a first year mental health nursing student. So i'm not entirely sure how much i said would be kept confidential. I have recurring suicidal thoughts, which are becoming harder and harder to deal with. But i don't want to risk occupational health throwing me off the course. I don't know how much to disclose.
Oh and my uni already know about my anxiety and depression. They also know i'm on antidepressants.
Any advice?
thankyou.
