In fact, I realize that compared to other depression cases, my situation
wasn’t that serious. But because I didn’t pay attention to my problem
early on, it quickly became something very serious. All it really took was,
with the aid of my counselor,
I was able to realize my fear, emotion and
what made me upset.
Sometimes, when I talked to her, I was not even
aware that I was actually thinking about the things I was telling her.
Many people think that counseling is something people do only when they
are sick or need help. In fact,
my counselor made me know more about
myself
. I never went to my sessions with a thought that I need help; in-
stead, I treated each session as a chance for better understanding of my
emotion and also why my feelings were so negative before the session. I
enjoyed every session with my counselor because I ended up walking away
and feeling much better at the end of the day. After 5 months of coun-
seling, I feel like I am a brand new person now. In fact, my experience has
left me with invaluable lessons and I would not have been able to do it
without the help of counseling.
