For a while now, I have been dealing with depression and anxiety. It has become extremely hard for me to cope with it at school, so I got my guidance counselor and school resource officer involved. Initially, they allowed me to leave class whenever I wanted to come talk to them and I liked it. But eventually I wasn’t just coming to their office to decompress, I was avoiding class to do so and my grades were dropping. I was in their office more than I was class and sometimes I wasn’t even overwhelmed. I just wanted to see them.
They had to change the plan two times before finally they had to put their foot down and tell me I could only see them on Mondays and Thursdays. The day they told me this, I sobbed hysterically for a while before I had to get sent home early.
The issue wasn’t that I was seeing them, it was how much I was seeing them and then eventually the reason I was seeing them was called into question too. They were enabling me to be out of class and hang out whenever I wanted, and if they didn’t, I felt like they didn’t care about me and it tended to end with me crying.
So what do you guys think, am I too emotionally dependent?
