I am not a professional counselor. However, my friends or even not so friends come to me for counselling or even just to have somebody to listen to them. I found it emphatic to listen and try my best to be of help in anthing that a counselee needs. Pretty sure I am doing this for years . From my students to friends and even those older than me, I play a role of a counselor in a way. However, at this point where I feel I am in a dent situation, I think I need a counseling. But seems I already knew the answer but I still feel uncomfortable with everything. I have terrible problems with my friends, even probelem with my family. I feel like I want somebody to listen to me. As of this moment only this page let me burst out what I am feelinng in a way. I want to voice it out to somebody who can listen. I want to unload the burden that squeeze me out to depression. I hope this will not lead to that. Do I need a counseling???

hey there....sounds like ur an awesome friend and counselor to those in need around you :) that's got to make u feel, in at least some way, accomplished and if not plz know that your making a difference to those who need i!
as to your dilemma, i would suggest not an official 'counselor' or 'psychologist/psychiatrist' but a friend. a close, trusted time proven friend. one YOU fell comfortable confiding in and one you respect. essentially someone who will be to you what you are to so many :)

Bamcee,
If you have not found a person to confide all your thougts, just take a few days off and go to some place where you could enjoy and relax. Take lots of paper with you. Write down your heart in that paper. Dont try to read them. What ever you have written have come out of your heart and after finishing a piece of paper tear and throw it off into the dustbin. Even if you dont go to any other place, just be at your favourite spot in your own home, with your favourite music and do this. I have been in your position and it have proved to be worthy for me.
But if you are going to someone to talk to all your feelings make sure that person is 110% trust worthy.
