Thanks for the welcome.

My therapist had to cancel a session on me because my insurance was all screwy. I left her a message saying I understood about the insurance thing, but I was not doing well, and cancelling on me just hours before I was due to see her was really really sh*tty. I think the message got through to her because she'll see me next week, regardless of the insurance situation, and I don't make appointments for fun anyway.
Luckily, I do have a really good older friend who's "been there and done that" so I spent the evening with her. Since I've been depressed I lost some weight, so she took me to dinner and sat there until I ate my fair share.
My plan is, when I see my therapist next week, to explain why I was disappointed, to outline the issues I want to work on, and make her take me out for sushi.
