Feel like I need support, but counselling has never worked before.

I feel like I need to meet up with someone who I can just talk to things about. It doesn't always have to be problems, it can be anything, I don't really mind. I've never felt like I've had anyone (whether it be adults or friends), whom I can just open up to. Apart from one English teacher, who then decided to desert me when I told her about the depression (i.e. when I really needed the support).

I tried getting in contact with my old form tutor, who helped me with the bullying issue. Not really sure if she'll want to keep in contact, but I just wish we could meet up again, as it's been ages since anyone has helped me that much. As I said, that English teacher (and my heads of year etc) were all very quick in ignoring me when they realised I had problems.

I'm at University at the moment (or College, as I believe it's called in the U.S), and it just seems that although some of the lecturers might come across as approachable, they'd probably prefer it if I didn't waste their time with non-academic queries. I've made friends here, but they all seem to prefer it when I pretend everything is alright. I think that's the trouble most of the time. No one knows how I feel, and I'd just feel stupid telling them.

What should I do LW?

Have you been completely open and honest about everything with previous counsellors?

That is the only way you'll make any progress.

With the first one, I did. Then I became put off about telling the other one because the first one kept looking at me weird when I was being open.
