Hey guys. I've been suffering feelings of intense loneliness, depression, lack of motivation, and low-self esteem for about 5 years now. With a friend's encouragement, I've started going to short-term (6 sessions or so) counseling sessions at my college.
I know I need to give this a solid try, but I've had three sessions so far and I don't see how this could help. We've talked through a number of my issues, and she's given me small pieces of advice, asking me to challenge certain ways of thinking and whatnot; I just don't see how it's going to do anything. I don't feel any better afterwards.
The whole thing feels like a meek joke compared to the intensity of the negative feelings I've been having; I feel like she doesn't understand how bad things have been. It's like trying to put out a house fire with a watering can.
Does this honeysuckle actually work? Life is not worth going on this way. Things need to get better, and soon. It's been intensely bad for years.
For any of you who celebrate it, I hope you're happy enough to have a Merry Christmas.
