After more than a few days of putting it off, I finally called SECASA today.

It's funny, really. I had the courage to tell my parents, to tell my friends, to throw the whole affair onto LJ, but talking to SECASA was so difficult I managed to put it off for several days. It's funny, how the mind works. The call went well, certainly better than the first call. I'm not sure how much assistance I'm going to end up taking from SECASA, but I've been realising that these aren't decisions I have to make now. When I talk to my regular counsellor next Thursday (thankfully she managed to find a time), I think after that I can think about making a decision.

As a side note, I want to thank everyone for their support, you honestly can't imagine how much I've needed it about now.

I'm glad you rang them.

And don't worry about taking a few days to contact them. It took me two years to even start thinking about speaking to NCASA.

You're more than welcome.

Yes, sometimes puting decisions off is the right thing.

CASA have only limited resources and therefore can not often offer long term counselling etc
I think the timeframe is about 3 sessions with potential for extra in certain cases. If you already have sessions with someone then that is good!

good luck and I'll see you round

Congrats, I am so glad you are getting your self help!

Much better than letting it build up into something worse.

This is, of course, part of the reason for telling everyone about it - I don't want to suppress this. That way lies madness. I didn't go through an entire Psych major for nothing you know...

Best of luck with the counselling. I really hope it helps. I'm glad the second call went better than the first.

I spaced out and missed your initial post (I don't have interweb access as much as I'd like)... so a very belated addition of my support, and I'm glad you are talking to SECASA.

Belated catch up (am at home sick today)...
If you need to talk about anything, let me know. I've never actually gone through the CASA services, but I hope it goes well.
*hug*
