I booked my first counselling appointment at my uni wellbeing services. Please convince me not to cancel

lol thank you so much to the people who downvoted this post. Glad to know you think I'm undeserving of counselling, or whatever other reason you downvoted me for. Thanks for kicking me when I'm already down

I hate the idea of conselling and telling all this stuff to a counsellor (rather than someone i know and trust - which I don't have someone like that). But I feel like I need this otherwise my life won't ever get better.

Please convince me not to cancel

It's so embarrassing, in the booking notes I added stuff I struggle with like self harm thoughts, depression, etc other stuff..... It's just so embarrassing.

Idk if I shouldve written all that stuff in the notes or not. But I did

And I'm worried they will either say oh you don't have it bad other people have it worse you don't need counselling, you're too old you should have you're life together and be happy (I'm late 20s), etc.

I'm worried also that I'll cancell the appointment the day before or if I do go to the appointment, I'll end up downplaying the stuff or pretending I'm fine.

But also sometimes I am less sad and a bit better and I put a mask up so idk

I'm just so scared for it idk....

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some affordable recommendations to store pastel paintings? From what I've researched, I understand glassine is the best protector?

Are these glassine bags a good option? https://www.greenpack.com.au/shop/bags/glassine-australia-bulk/1w-white-glassine-paper-bag-pack-of-500pcs/

To be able to still view the work easily I'm thinking I could just cut down to sides so it's only connected at the bottom, so I can just open it like a book to view the art, and then close it back up with a piece of tape?

Would this be a good idea? Or is this type of glassine paper not suitable for art? (It says it's food safe and mostly marketed for food storage so not sure?)
