It took me four years to become healthy. Don't let yourself take that long. Make changes now. If you need to talk to someone about your feelings, do it. There is absolutely nothing to feel ashamed about.
Many people think of mental health services as something bad.
Please don't make that mistake. Once you open up to someone, you see you're not alone. I was pleased to see your coverage regarding resources for students dealing with stress. These are not accurate. Counseling is the bulk of our service.
