Have you thought about it?

I thought about it when i got really depressed a few years back. But i also thought that if i talked about it they would think I'm crazy. I never even told them about the one time I saw the school therapist. They asked and I lied and said i went to her with my friend. I was afraid to tell them. And i feel guilty about it. I kinda feel like wanting to see a counselor is like disrespecting my parents. I wish i had taken more advantage of having a therapist at our school. Cause i was comfortable with her and everything. She mainly works with older school kids. Maybe if i find a way if i can get in touch with her i can talk to her. Maybe ask her about it or something.
