I didn't like counselling because I never felt comfortable talking to someone I didn't know. They are getting paid to listen (and not even offer much advice, just listen) so why should they really care? I'm bad enough talking to my friends. One time I spent six hours, yes, hours trying to tell my friend one sentence. Would the doctor tell me of these other things, or would I have to ask about them? And I assume there is a very long waiting list?

Last time I went to a private counsellor who also works for the NHS. I thought that if I spent my own money on it I'd be more inclined to actually talk and get something out of it. Never really worked like that.

I'll take my friend in then, hopefully he'd pipe up if he saw I wasn't capable of answering. Doctors can't say anything to anyone if you SH, can they? I'm so clueless when it comes to doctors. I'm 19 so no need to worry about them telling the parents.

FE, that would be so kind of you if you could. Just so I have something to go on and don't just sit there.

Thanks.
