At a loss

This may not be the right place to post, and i don't really know what i"m looking for, but i don't know what to do anymore. I feel as though there's something i need to get out - to say, to tell someone - but i can't find in me what that would be. I don't have a traumatic past and i tend not to believe "repressed memories." I've had this possibility suggested to me a few times but i don't feel any merit to it, at least for myself. I've dealt with eating disorders, self-injury, social anxiety and issues with sex. I dont know where to start in getting help from a counselor because i have nothing to offer - i have no information for them. This is so frustrating when i always feel like i need to go to a trusted friend and get something out when there is nothing.
Like i said, i dont know what i want out of this post, but i welcome any of your thoughts.

Hi TC,

JMHO:
When you go to a counselor: it is to talk about what, how you feel.
Let the proffessional do what they get paid the big bucks to do...

The counselor or therapist, neither will expect you to "say" any certain thing. Except maybe your name. After that what happens in the session is not always what you expect.

I went in to it with an open mind, and it was a good experience.

Good Luck and take care.

I can't afford to see an therapist or counselor, unfortunately.

TC,

I am sorry, I thought you just didn't know what to do at a counselor.
JMHO here ok?

You may have these feelings and thoughts and you are stuck in a negative thought process. It can also be call ruminating (worrying).

Do you use your local library? There are many books on making yourself happy, with your own therapy, not with a therapist.

One that I have read is a book by Albert Ellis
Title: Overcoming Destructive Beliefs, Feelings, and Behaviors.

Albert Ellis has wrote many books. They all relate to the same thing. Feeling better, and ways to get there.

I offer you hope that you can do or be whatever or feel better.

Take care,
