What is the best way to get a counsellor?!


Question: What is the best way to get a counsellor?
Basically, I've been having huge mood swings, anger issues and low self esteem and I just really need some help with it outside my friends and family. It's been going on for about three years now. It started when I was about eleven but started get worse when I was twelve, leaving the house and being in public just makes me stressed, my family hates going out with me because I get so angry, I hardly ever go out with friends. I so easily break down or get frustrated, I try and stay calm but I go from incredibly angry to feeling stupid and crying so quickly. I can't take it anymore, I need help. I just turned fifteen. There is a history of mental illness in my family, both my siblings are special needs, and my uncle is OCD.

I tried asking my doctor and she just told me it was normal and to make another appointment in six months and she would get me a counsellor. I made another appointment and she then said the same thing.

I don't have very much money, but I really need some help. What can I do?

Answers:

Are you living in the United Kingdom? If so, most locations have free counselling services for young people (under 18 or even under 21). If you search on the web using the key words of your "area/town/nearest town", "youth", "free", "counselling" I am sure something will come up.



Do you have a counsellor at school? Maybe that or ask a teacher if there is one you trust. Maybe go back to the doctor or another doctor or ask your folks to take you to one. Or maybe call kids helpline if there is one where you live. Good luck.



you write very well ..so that's possibly your starting point honey ..
