Do I have too many issues for counseling?

Thank you for sharing your question.  I imagine it feels overwhelming and discouraging at times if you feel like there are too many issues to address in a counseling session.  I would encourage you to share these concerns with a counselor because a counselor can help you organize the concerns into a list of specific goals.  For example, a list of goals may look similar to this:

1.  "I will learn about the effects of medication on the symptoms of depression and anxiety."

2.  "I will learn about the factors that affect insomnia."

3.  "I will learn about resources and support groups in my local area to help me cope with my traumatic experiences."

4.  "I will practice self-care exercises each day and write about my thoughts and feelings in a journal so I can measure whether or not I"m making progress."

This is an example of some of the possible goals a counselor can help you work toward each week.  Working toward a specific goal can lead to a feeling of accomplishment once you've completed it, and this may have a positive impact on your self-esteem.  

I hope this information helps, and I wish you all the best!
