Submit your anonymous questions to advicecolumnusc@hotmail.com. The Counseling Center interns are supervised by the center’s professional staff. We offer no personal responses via e-mail. The following advice represents the opinions of the Counseling Center and not necessarily the opinions of The Gamecock. QUESTION: I am unmotivat ed, and I can’t think of a good reason to get out of bed in the morning. I need to talk to some one, but I’m afraid that my friends will think I’m crazy if I seek professional help. What do you suggest? —Unmotivated ANSWER: All of us face moti vational problems at some point. However, if these prob lems persist, you could have a depression, for which there are many effective treatments. The stigma that seeking help implies weakness and mental instabili ty is outdated and inaccurate. However, from the tone of your question, this issue of stigma might still be a problem for you and some of your friends. You can see a problem as an oppor tunity for finding a new solution rather than remaining stuck in a rut. We realize that this is a difficult time for you, but it is important to stay active and positively involved. Visits to the Counseling Center are confi dential. Q: I am a student with a dou ble major. I am really stressed out. I don’t have time to enjoy anything. I have so much schoolwork to do, and it never seems to get any lighter. I exer cise to relieve my stress, but I still feel anxious all the time. What can I do? —Stressed Out. A: Exercise is a wonderful stress reliever. Congratulations on having a healthy coping strategy! Time management might help you. Make a list of all the tasks you need to do and break them down into manage able units. Prioritize the list. Work on the list a little bit ev ery day, and cross off the items as you complete them. Staying organized is essential to time management; keep a day plan ner to write down important events. Set aside some time each day for personal time. To learn relaxation techniques, how to manage stress and how to over come worries, drop by our self hypnosis workshop, every Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 3:30 at the Counseling Center. Q: I am a Spanish-speaking international student. I speak good English, but feel more comfortable talking about my issues in my native language. Do you have bilingual coun selors? —International Student A: We have access to bilin gual interpreters and transla tors who abide by the profes sional code of ethics concerning confidentiality.

You get to practice now by obeying somebody else cheerfully, if possible. TAU RUS Instead of traveling to visit friends, have them come to you. They’ll go for that idea, because your hospitality is world-renowned. GEMINI With careful planning, and by sticking to your budget, you can get a pleasant surprise. You may end up with more than you thought. Good work! CANCER Romantic talk is nice, of course, but that’s not where love really lies. Actions speak louder than words, and they might even be more trustworthy. LEO Although you’re not the only one on the job, they all look to you for advice. You’re the one who believes it can happen. Now, tell them how! VIRGO Find some time for personal pleasures in your busy day. Schedule a date with the one you love or with a likely applicant. LIBRA New responsibilities you’ve taken on lead to new status and new friends. Those fringe benefits are nice, because it’ll be a while before new money comes in. SCORPIO Encouragement from a loved one helps, and you may be taking a risk, but you can succeed. Do what you love, and do it well. SAGITTARIUS Is there a toy you’ve been thinking about, or a special vacation to take? Put money down on a gift for yourself, for being such a good kid. CAPRICORN Your best course of action should be obvious, especially regarding money. To increase your future bounty, invest in a safe and time honored way. AQUARIUS It should soon be obvious who has exactly what you lack. You may have to pay, but that’s OK if this helps you generate work. PISCES Accept the congratulations of family and friends. You’ve made it past the most difficult part. Make time for a celebration.
