Counseling for anxiety

Hey everyone. I have an appointment today to see a Christian counselor but I'm not sure if it will help me or make my anxiety worse.

On one hand I think it will be helpful to tell someone about my anxiety and fears but on the other hand I'm wondering if it will Make the anxiety worse by talking about it and bringing up things from the past that are triggers .

I have had chronic Lyme disease for 10 years, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and of course anxiety! I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks before I got sick but for me the worse I feel the more anxious and fearful I get.

Back in September I got a major UTI infection and in the middle of that I ended up in the ER with a blocked kidney stone. I was in the hospital for 3 days and over a couple of weeks time had 3 surgeries. I had a stent placed , Then I had lithotripsy and another stent placed. The 3rd surgery was to remove the stent. During all of this I was on very strong antibiotics for the UTI infection and very strong pain meds. That I don't tolerate very well and because my white blood cell count was up.
Every time I take antibiotics they make me so sick and they also flair up the Lyme disease symptoms. (Pain, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, anxiety etc..).
It has been about a week since my last surgery and both of my kidneys are hurting even though the surgeries were done on my left kidney. I have had blood work done in my white blood cell count is back to normal. Also I have a urinalysis And a urine culture dine that both came back negative.
I am extremely Fearful and anxious because of the kidney pain. I don't think I would be if I hadn't just gone through everything that I've been through lately. Also with the testing being negative I just am worried about what it is. I just feel much worse than usual and I know part of it is just all the medications and surgeries and time in the bed that is gotten Me feeling so bad.
I am thankful that the testing was negative because I don't think I could handle anymore antibiotics at this time anyway.
I'm praying that It's just inflammation from a flare up and that it will get better soon .
I thought talking to a counselor about all of this might help bring down my anxiety level. Have any of you been helped with counseling with your anxiety or did it make you worse?

I hope that it is reffered pain. I went to my appointment with the new counselor today. It went very well and I'm glad that I went.
The counselor wad very nice and a good listener. She has been through a lot herself so she understands anxiety and chronic illness. I will deffinently be going back whenever I need to. She wad 81 years old so I hope that she doesn't retire soon. Talking to her was like talking to a friend. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to and I think with the right person counseling can be very helpful. I left feeling better than I did before I got there and I think that's a good sign.
