I'm thinking a lot and really want to escape from life at the moment

Hello.i'm nervous since today is my appointment with the psychologist.i've been postponing it because I was really nervous and not sure how to talk..I am happy my parents accepted the idea but I don't know..I'm just afraid how to face the psychologist and if she'll understand or criticise me..I'm sensitive..but I also not sure if I should postpone it because tomorrow will be the start of college and I'm also nervous because I gained a lot of weight..and I hate my appearance and also thinking about all the exams and will I do in them..and I felt like I really want to escape life I thought like taking overdosed pills or something but I am as always afraid to do it..I am afraid I'll regret it..I know life is temporary but I don't know why I worry a lot and not do what I should do..I don't know please tell me if I should just go to the psychologist today and how to not be nervous when meeting her..?

The psychologist is there because they want to help you, not judge you. I am positive you will go and feel at least a bit brighter afterwards.

You have a lot on your shoulders, give yourself a break and take a breath. Allow yourself a chance to work through what you need to💐

Hi I agree with slightlyjaded. It's natural to be nervous your first time but s/he is there to help you and not to judge in any way. Don't let the fear of something stop you doing it. x

Yes, go to the appointment. I think most of us felt nervous about appointments at one time or another, especially nervous about the first appointment. I was nervous at my first appointment a few months ago. It went well and I'm glad I gave the psychiatrist a chance.

I'm pretty sure the psychologist knows that patients are nervous and they usually try to make you feel at ease so that you can open up. The psychologist is there to help you.

Just remember to breath.
