How do I tell my guidance counselor about my problems?
I just moved to a new school and I have PTSD and depression. The school needs to know this bcuz I get flashbacks during the day and usually can't handle them on my own. I also self injure. I know it's bad and I need to stop cutting but it's just not that easy. I see a therapist, I take meds, and I've been hospitalized. I have an apt. With the counselor tomorrow but I really don't know what I should say and how I should say it. Help?

Just tell her that you have some issues that you need to discuss with her. Then tell straight what is going on with you, and how you have been handling it with the therapist and the meds. Also let her know that you are talking to her in hopes that if a problem comes up that she will be there for you for whatever you need at the time.
