My university offers us a limited number of free visits with the therapist or something here. A month ago I went to see the nutritionist here and she recommended that I make an appointment based off of just my discomfort with the cafeterias here. This isn’t the first time I’ve been told to see a therapist. I’ve just always said no because my family went through a lot while my sister was getting her depression under control (multiple suicide attempts there). I figured I could wait until I’m 18 unless something happened and I was a danger to myself. Now the time has come and I’m not sure if I can get myself to do that. First of all my school has a very small limit to our free visits and I don’t have money to pay for the ones that aren’t free. Second of all I have no idea what I would say to a therapist. Part of that is idk how therapy goes especially when you first start, and another part of that is I’m not sure that anything I’m going through or whatever is severe enough. For all I know they could just tell me I’m fine and to get over it. But I also feel myself thinking that I need to go to prevent anything from getting worse... I have really low self esteem, it’s not uncommon for me to have thoughts of suicide, and while I haven’t ever cut myself, I have hurt myself in other ways that scar... although part of the scarring is having really sensitive skin. Can someone please just give me some advice?
