Im a lil scared, I mean I have never really wanted to resort to this but I know now that im never gonna sort out my problems and get where I want and achieve my goals and dreams unless I do this and since im anxious, depressive and can't act to do the things to change me this is why im doing this though I wonder if it can help or more to the matter if anything can.

I'm lil scared etc and im just apprehensive as to how it may go and what we shall start on, thier are allot of things that I need to get through (I know It won't all be in the first session) but im particular worried about explaining thing's like my imagnary partner. Dose anybody have any tips?

Be honest with the counselor. Tell him/her you're scared and ask them why you shouldn't be. Let them reassure you as to why you are safe with them to talk about your personal issues. You need to have a relationship of trust with your counselor so there's nothing wrong with forcing them to earn it.

It seems to me that you're taking a positive step.

At least you have an aspiration to succeed.

Good luck with you counselor.
