Hey Amy,
I felt the same way about counseling for a while. I just couldn't see myself talking to someone I didn't know, about what was going on inside of me. But I went anyway, because some very wise people suggested it. I discovered that it's really good to talk about things with someone objective. They can offer suggestions that your friends and loved ones might not think of.
Whatever you decide to do, just remember that you have friends here who love you.
Hugs,
Gabe
