Lying to counsellor

Hey, I just gotta say, I totally understand where you're coming from and it pisses me off how much pressure there is to "feel better" just because you're getting help. Like, this isn't a Hollywood movie where a few therapy sessions magically cure everything. I remember when I was in a similar spot, seeing a therapist and pretending I was on the mend just to make everyone else happy, like putting on some damn Oscar-worthy performance. But man, that only made things worse, piling on the guilt and shame - it’s a vicious cycle.

You gotta be real with your counselor, though, seriously. They can't help if they don't have the full picture. It's like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. Yeah, it’ll probably feel awkward at first, but trust me, they've heard it all before and more. Just let them know straight-up how you're feeling. They'll likely appreciate your honesty, and it can lead to a way more productive therapy experience.

And for what it’s worth, I think reaching out here is a smart move. Maybe this place isn't your final destination for help, but it's a great start to being heard. Forget the embarrassment and shame—those emotions are just screwing with your head, keeping you from getting the support you really need. Stay strong.

Hey there, I hear you, but I gotta say, I think you might be being a bit too hard on yourself. Therapy isn’t some quick fix; it's like a journey, and it can take a while to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But why skip the vital part of being honest when that’s where the real help comes from? 🤔 You owe it to yourself to be upfront with your counselor; they can only help if they know what's really going on!

It might feel like you're stuck in a loop now, but recovery is rarely a straight line. Everyone's road to feeling better is a bit twisty-turny, and sometimes it feels like you’re running in place; I get that it’s frustrating. But lying to keep up appearances? Who does that benefit?? Being honest with your therapist might open up paths you hadn’t thought of before. Keep your head up and give it a shot!

ugh, totally get it 😩 therapy ain't magic, right? paying a crazy amount and still feeling like crap sucks... been there before with a shrink and felt like I was getting nowhere; just spinning my wheels. lying to make it look like things are getting better? yeah, been down that road too... and it's exhausting!! 🥴 if your head’s still a mess, gotta spill the beans to your counselor. being stuck in this loop of fake happiness helps no one and just keeps you drowning in guilt. give it a shot... what’s the worst that could happen???

completely understand where you're coming from. it seems like therapy isn't giving you the relief or answers you're looking for. "therapy can feel like it's going in circles," as many people have said, and I totally get why you're feeling guilty. it's essential to be honest with your counselor about how you're truly feeling; they need to know the full story to help you better. maybe it's daunting, but it'll be worth it. you deserve to feel better 😊

first off, I feel you; this whole therapy thing can be a massive rollercoaster. when I was in the same boat, it was tough owning up to how I really felt, like what if they think I'm not trying hard enough?! it sucks to feel like progress isn't happening, and guilt just makes it ten times worse. i mostly agree with your vibe; therapy is not the one-size-fits-all solution everyone makes it out to be. sometimes it feels like you're just pretending to improve when deep down, you're still struggling; honestly, though, it's your chance to be real with someone who can help you navigate through this. hang in there—being open could be your turning point. 😐

i completely understand your perspective, and I'm truly sorry you're going through this. therapy can sometimes feel like this endless loop where you keep waiting for the breakthrough everyone talks about, but it just doesn't come. i remember when I first started therapy, I was told, "time heals all wounds," but it felt more like a merry-go-round of frustration and guilt. it's incredibly disheartening to feel stagnant despite all the time and effort invested in your mental health.

the guilt of not progressing can be paralyzing, especially when loved ones are involved, and you just want to spare them the worry. but transparency with your counselor is crucial; they're there to guide you out of this cycle, not judge you for where you are. it may seem daunting, but letting them know what's really going on might be the key to finding the right approach for you. don't be too hard on yourself—healing isn't linear, and being honest is a significant first step. 🙏

hey, i hear what you're saying, but i think you might be selling therapy short. sure, it can feel like you're stuck in the same spot, but “progress is gradual,” like many say. therapy's not a one-stop fix-it shop; it takes time and patience, and the path to mental wellness isn't always obvious. i get it can be frustrating when you don't see immediate results, and the pressure to show improvement might be overwhelming. but maybe give it a bit more time before you throw in the towel?? being upfront with your counselor might open up some new approaches or insights. you never know what could help until you lay it all out there!
