Not really normal. What ARE your reasons, then? That info may help.
If it's due to the general apathy and lack of motivation depression gives you, then yeah, pretty normal. If this is the case, I hope for your sake it doesn't take something awful happening to get you to the point where you look for help.
I honestly don't know. I guess it could be due to apathy and lack of motivation. I don't want to talk about my problems because I think they're embarrassing and pathetic.
Plus I have spent my whole life hiding this from all of my friends and family. Being truly honest about my problem has never been easy. If that makes any sense.
It does. I pretended nothing was wrong for six or seven years before having a huge freakout panic attack that made me decide I needed to do something. I'm lucky that was all that happened. Sometimes, people need to hit a lower low than they've previously had to give them a kick up the arse to get moving. Problem is, sometimes that low is rock bottom... hard way to learn a lesson.
My brother is in a similar situation. He's a qualified counselor who really should get counseling for some family shit. He won't.
I don't know where you're from, but here, counsellors and psychologists are required to have what they call "supervision", which means that for every x amount of client face time they have, they need to see a counsellor of their own to deal with stuff that comes up in their sessions. I would imagine it would cover some of their own stuff, too. Idk if that's a thing where you are.
That actually makes a ton of sense. That they make counsellors and psychologists see a counsellor for every x amount of people they deal with. Never really thought about that aspect of that specific field of work.
I wonder if they implement it in other countries as well
IIN that I am a Psychology major, but refuse to..
