If you need to, call the counselor back and set up another appointment for sooner so you don't have to wait the month.

I hope you can feel good about the fact that even though things seem so bad, you are able to take steps to get help for yourself. That is a huge thing. Both as being something good that can hopefully get you back to feeling better, and ALSO as having the strength not to give in to those feelings that everything is hopeless and taking the initiative to go see a doctor, work out a pay schedule, etc.
