Anxious to get help

I went and saw my GP and he had set me up under the Mental Health plan to have some therapy sessions. However I have neglected to go as I applied for this international program and you have to disclose if you have mental health issues. I have been wanting to do this internationally program for years and finally got through the first step (found out I got through a few days after seeing the GP) and it's literally the only thing that keeps me going these days.
But if I go back and get those therapy sessions, it will go in my medical record. I don't want to ruin my chances of getting into the program, but I know my mental health is declining and rapidy and I'm scared. Either way, I'm going to lose on one of them.

Hi GreenElixir,

I think that if you know that your mental health is declining then you should address that. Can you see a counselor without it being registered on your medical record? I don't know but someone here will. Will it 'ruin your chances' to have a record of mental health recovery?

It is a tough situation, I guess only you can know if you will have the mental strength to get through the international program. If you are going to 'lose on one of them' I would make it the program, mental health is the priority.
