    well, i don't know about how it is where you are, but I attend a university and they have a counsoling center on capus that is free to the surrounding neighborhood because they aren't actually qualified counsolers yet, they are getting thier phD and masters, all of the sessions the counsoler is taped and the audio is recorded, then a certified counsoler goes over it with them (what they should say next time, how they could have improved etc). I know because I'm persuing psych degree there and one of my classes makes us go into therapy to "understand ourselves". So you might check with a college or university in your area also.

    Don't give up now, don't give up ever...I know they seem to be just words, but if you let someone from this site, and many are willing, to reach out to you, you may find your stength again. I just want you (and everyone else) to know that if you need someone to talk to, and just some random girl will do, my msn is email removed and you can add me and we can talk. Take care. Chin up.

    people keep saying to transfer to social work, but i guess I really don't understand the differences between counsoling w/ a psych degree and counsoling w/ a social work degree. All i can say is my theory (how i approach helping people solve their problems is not toally religious (i'm christian), it's not totally psych and it's not totally social. SO i don't know where to go that is the best combo of the three.

    Okay...where to begin... I am currently a second year psych student. I have a great compassion for people so I want to help, but I don't care about the technicallities about psychology--does that mean I shouldn't go into psychology? Is there a better option? (if you think there is explain how/why). I want a job that will provide good money for a family (i love children). Oh sometimes i really hate the grayness of the future...I just wish I knew what to do...*millions of thoughts swimming*

    if you wanna learn what real life is like, life is the best place to learn it. You can learn comman phrases online in chat, sure...but then you are spending more time w/ computers and less w/ people.

    hello, my name is becky. I don't think many of you know me, but I want you to know that I really care, it may seem impossible to you that someone you do not even know actually cares about you, but I do. Please, contact me and when time permits (i am a fulltime college student and also work, so i'm not online as much as i wish i could be). I will listen. I want you to know you're not alone--there are people who care. Many people who frequent these boards are eager and willing to help out in anyway they can. If you are suicidal and would like someone to talk to, leave a message on this topic and someone will respond. You can also feel free to add me to your messengers and PLEASE visit my site, because it is about finding resources to deal with depression and suicidal feelings. It's not professional, and it's not even done, but it may link you to a site that can really help. Don't give up, and know that there are people here to listen. -becky

    hey Cid, I'm really sorry i have a hard time being away from my bf for a day, i can't imagine what i'd do if he had to be away that long. I just thought I'd tell you something though, I'm really impressed with you here you are hurting like you are, yet you are responding supportively to most of the posts on these forums. Keep up the good work. It is my view that helping others helps us help ourselves. If you need or want someone to talk to, I'm here. Becky

    I'm really sorry you feel so trapped, for now you can try releasing your feelings online in a journal and slowly seek out friends. I know it'll be hard but you can do it

    self-confidence is a complex thing. No one person or situation can give it to you. But, i am going to be a psychologist one day and I wanted to start my book collection early. I bought a book called "total self-confidence" I cannot say i read it yet, but i thought that the title seemed fitting in this contex. it's by a dr. robert anthony. well best of luck. Just remember you're worth just as much as the people you are talking to. You are completely free to look into their eyes and respond to them as an equal. You are an equal.

    I'm really sorry. Christmas isn't going to be the same, and I can only imagine how tough it is and is going to be. My best advice is to go do some good in the world in her name. At christmas time (and winter in general) there are a lot of needs that can be met. Charity work can help refocus...not forget, but make the holidays into a possitive thing. if you need/want someone to talk to PM me.

    how old is older than most of us? (just thought i'd ask). where does the real problem lay? Because those things you listed are real problems and very hard to deal with, but something usually lays beneath them. About getting a job, best kind to get when you are feeling down and out is one where you work helping others directly. One where you don't have a lot of time to think about your own pain. Or just volunteer in the mean time while looking for a job at a homeless shelter. You could work with those children who have had an extremly rough start in life and show them that they are important. Sometimes the best way to cure your own pain is to help heal others. well take care and best wishes. You can PM me if you'd like to talk further.
