- How did you get help?
I was in really bad shape and my parents decided I needed a psychologist
- What happened on your first appointment?
I started talking about my problems and kept crying

- How often are / were your appointments?
I don't remember... I going to start seeing one soon, though.
- How long did they last?
Until I moved to a different state... I only saw her for a year.
- What advice can you give to anybody that is anxious about visiting a counsellor / their first appointment?
It's not bad, and psychologists are helpful and kind

You don't have to tell them anything you don't want to, and they won't tell your parents anything you ask them not to.
