I've decided to see a counselor

I am thinking about seeing a counselor. I have his email address. I can email him and he can sort things out. I have been depressed, some of it is because of love and guys, and the other part.. I don't know why. I don't know what to say to him. I just...

know I need to get help.
I have classes that I need to pass, I'm passing right now, but I can't afford to miss a class. How will I see a counselor if I don't want to skip class?
I'm not really sure what to do.
Will they respect my privacy and tell no one? Not even my parents?
I'm afraid I'll burst out crying in front of him.. I dont really want that..
What should I do?
I have a big test tomorrow, which I haven't even studied for because I'm so upset.. I dont even get the stuff. I've asked for help. But I still don't get it.. I'll fail tomorrow?

can you see him during your lunch hour?
and dont worry about crying or whatever, they see it all the time...
just talk to him as honestly as possible and it may help...

The thing is, I dont know what to talk to him about. I don't know what's my problem. I don't know why I cry all the time. I don't know why I have issues.
Lunch hour is only 30 minutes..

well usually counseling sessions are afta school and you have great people on dis website you can talk 2

Send him an email asking to be pulled out of a class that you are not testing in. You don't have to know what exactly you are going to say. Sometimes it helps to just spill your guts to someone who won't judge you. You can start by talking about the things you have posted on this site. Ask about his confidentiality agreements in the email, so you know before you go in there.

you dont have to know, thats his job, to help you figure out why you're unhappy... and dont worry, it's not unusual to not know why you feel the way you do, he will help you figure it out...
even if it is just half an hour of a lunch break...
go talk to him, it's a start...

see the counclor I had the same problem and I cried soo many times it was embarrassing but it helped me

I HAVE THAT PROB AND ITS A THING IN SIDE OF YOU AND LIKE you HAVE TO FINED WEE ITS COMING FROM YOUR SELF THATS WHAT THEY TOLD ME SO LIKE YEA IF you HAVE ANEY ? THEN JUST MSG ME

well you can always talk to people on this site like friends and the councilor wont judge you and if you ask him not to tell your parents I'm sure he wont.
