I've been in university for about six weeks now, and I'm having an amazing time. My flatmates are brilliant, and I love my lectures.

But since I've been here, I've started s/h again after six months free. I've also been smoking a lot, although I have cut down. My flatmates know, and they have been brilliant, they look after the kit I am required to own for my biology degree so I dont have sharp things in my room etc.

But I feel bad burdening them with my problems, and I want to speak to someone about it. My university has a counselling service, and I'm thinking of emailing for an appointment, but is this the sort of thing they deal with? Or are they more for exam stress etc?

And what should I write in the email? I dont want to give too much detail, how much should I tell them?

	Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better.
