It must be very difficult being on your own and having to deal with all of this. But, they only want to help and support you. Try to keep that in mind. Going to counselling can be hard initially. You dont have to tell them everything at your first appointment.
Yes, it's important to try to be honest so that they can help you but it takes time to gain trust and to open up to someone. If you cant tell them all thats going on for you could you say that you have different issues and you're worried about talking about them? I always find that saying something like that and then talking about my fears can really help me to open up. Be gentle with yourself and take it at your own pace.
