I went to the counselors today. He said he wouldn't contact my parents unless it turns really bad. Although apparently he did contact my sister. And she told my oldest sister so now my oldest sister keeps looking at me and trying to get me to talk to her. I'm getting all this attention that I don't want. She said if I don't talk to her she's going to tell my mom. Thing is there is nothing to tell.. I don't even know why?
What should I do?
Don't do anything. Just keep your appointment with the counselor. Be honest to your sisters about what you're doing. Tell her you've been feeling extremely depressed and it's affecting everything you do, and you finally decided to talk to a professional about it. There is nothing wrong with telling your parents, either. You're taking care of yourself rather than letting other people take care - it's a move of independence. I know you won't regret it - am proud of you for making the move!
You don't understand steph. Asian parents aren't the typical understanding ones who express their feelings to each other. No one talks about how they feel. We don't even have that well of a relationship between us. It'll just make things worse. She can't help me. She half doesn't even understands me or knows what my personality is.
Your councellor should have not told anyone, patient client confidentiality,,,Thats a law find a new councellor, tell him you have lost confidence in him and that hes a prick for revealing anything you have said, Tell yr sister yr fine, and that you have spoken to someone, you trust...goodluck
Shes just being a sister and shes worried about you, why do you care so much if your mom finds out? Your mom needs to know whats going on with you so she can help. Hiding these feelings isn't going to help.
lol, well you've just described basically asian parents :) dont worry so much, honestly, even if she did find out, it's not the end of the world... they like to avoid things...
einstien - it is odd that he chose her sister, but if he thinks she could hurt herself or is hurting herself he is a mandated reporter... he has to tell her parents...
tell her you're talking to the councellor, and if you need her, you will talk to her, but until then you'd rather just talk to the councellor...
