Hey Alyssa,
I say go for it! Especially if you are thinking about considering meds, you should really talk to a counselor about that in addition to a doctor or psychiatrist who would do the prescribing.
But more importantly you deserve some help and counseling is always a good thing (or so I hear)
Mind you I have only been once so far..... but I think I felt about it the same way you do now and now that I have gone (one time) I do feel a tad more positive about it. It's hard to take your own advice sometimes, but remember that you were one of the people who suggested that I keep the appointment. So follow your own advice! And remember that if you go and you dont like it nobody is going to force you to keep going. You said that something is holding you back, and I feel that way too about it. I think for me it is the idea of talking about these things out loud. For me I think SI is a way of avoiding communication, and counseling forces you to communicate which is something that I realllllly like to not do. But I know that I have to try to work on that. If you are anything like me that may be why you are hesitating. Or it could be something completely different! Haha but anyway hun I hope you go. If you want to talk about it feel free to pm me. We could talk about skipping appointments and then talk eachother into actually going. Happy fun.
xxxooo
