Talking about it does help, though I've found that talking with conselours doesn't...At least for me, anyway. I've been to a few before for reasons from self-harm to depression but they end up just making me feel ashamed.. For me, I find it easier to talk to my friends, because I KNOW they care about my unlike some counselour, some lady I just met trying to make me feel better because it's their job. Just adults in general; I can never talk to them about my inner pain, I know they'll just over react and I can't talk to my mom (even when she knows about my depression) because I feel like I'm just shaming her. But my friends care and they don't over react and they don't make me feel ashamed. My friends + music make life bearable. (I even have a friend (my ex, Craig) who has made it his 'duty' to help me get me through my days)
