Is It Bad To See A Therapist? Read Details :)?


Hi, I am 13 and have been sad (not depressed just blue. Doctor said I am fine. I am not suicidal. I talk to my parents a lot, but I have been a little more down then the average girl. I am very philosophical and think about big stuff)
My mom and dad and doctor said I could see a therapist IF I WANT TOO. I don’t need to because I talk to my mo and dad (my mom is actually a therapist herself, but for adults). I think a little bit of talk therapy with a professional could help me sort out my feelings and my family agrees. Not now, because I am doing better but in the future if I am interested in some outside help .
Anyway, I asked a question about my sadness a little while ago and got good, helpful replies. Many said if I wanted I could try a therapist. But one person said that I should not see a therapist or go back to my doctor, because if they thought I was depressed, it would go onto my permanent record.
And it would put a damper on college.
Is that true? Would colleges not accept me?
And, if I see a therapist in a private practice (not affiliated with a hospital or any orginization) would it go on my record?
Would colleges not want a smart, Straight-A student with good extracurriculars (assuming i still have those things when I am older) who has suffered a little with some sadness?
Help! I am so worried that I won’t et into college if I reach out for help!
Thank you! 🙂
