Some advice... what do i do?!
Question: Okay, so in like December I started seeing a psychologist for depression and stuff after my school got involved and called my mom. In Febuary I stopped seeing her because I guess, from what she told my mom, I didn't talk enough. Well, things were fine from then, yeah I was still feeling sad or whatever, but I dealt with it. Then in the middle of March or something, some teacher who knew about everything going on and that i talked to was getting worried about me cuz i guess i was acting weird, so she recommended i go to the school psychologst. Longer story told short, I now see my school psychologist. Overall, I like her. shes pretty nice, she isnt really annoying, and shes straight up with me about some things.But she says that I have to talk about whatever is bothering me to get any help. The thing is that I dont know whats bothering me or anything. I don't know what to do to help myself or what to tell her, bcuz yeah i do have alot hidden, but i dnt trust her enough and stuff.

Tell her that you're working on trusting her enough to open up, but it seems like it's going to take time. Keeping a journal and getting those things out on paper helps, btw. Makes it easier to later get out of your mouth and then to discuss with someone you do trust. So, maybe talk to her about trusting in the mean time. Why's it hard? How does having a hard time trusting make you feel? What do you miss out on? What you need to trust someone? Stuff like that.
Will using a daily journal of your day and feelings help? Its worth a try.
