do i tell my mum that i am going to start counselling again?

i don't really want her to know. tbh, i don't like it when she knows stuff about me. it's embarrassing.

on the other hand, the appointment is at 4pm so i can either skip my last lesson @ college to get there (which i don't wanna do cuz exams r comin up), or i can get her to take me if she can get back from work.

If i don't tell her, i will have to explain to my college why i am not going to my lesson, but i think i would prefer that to telling my mum.

HELP!!!

My friend had counselling and didn't want her family to know about it, but in the end it was making her so stressed trying to go without them finding out that she stopped going altogether.

Obviously since I don't know why you're having counselling this isn't what you'd call informed advice, but I would tell your mum about it. Sure it's embarrassing talking to your parents about personal things, but maybe if you talked to her about things she'd be able to help you?

All the best for whatever you decide <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

i'm thinking about couselling as well, and i'm not gonna tell my parents. but it's easier for me, cos i can go during school time (when i have free periods).

if u don't want to, don't tell. but it wold be easier if u can tell them. don't lie, i dunno, can u just say "i'm going to see a counesellor to help me out with a few problems. i'd appreciate it if u left it to me to sort out"?

summin like that.

shell head speaks wisely drifter.

be honest with mom in telling her what ur doing and that you need her help, but that you don't want to discuss it with her until it gets a little more sorted.

i think mom will appreciate knowing and you you'll get the help you need.

good luck.

You never know Drifter, she might be in torment at the moment, not knowing how to get the conversation going so you can both talk about it. She might really want to know, but thinks you don't want to talk about it?
