I so appreciate you guys! I feel terrible because I'm really needy right now and I HATE asking for help, but I am so thankful that there are people who understand to talk to. As far as other options for therapy, I think that there may be a sliding-scale community center in the city that I live in. In response to Bill3, I am currently trying to get to a place that I can begin to extend some forgiveness and mercy to myself as well as my sister. The situation is complex and I've only just scratched the surface in therapy. The rest of my family doesn't know about my experiences. In fact, I've never even discussed what happened with my sister. So, they're not supportive because they don't know. My parents know that I'm depressed and taking medication. I do return to college in the fall, but unfortunately, the 12 sessions are per calendar year, so I would not be eligible to receive counseling again until January 2012. Thank you so much for your encouragement!
Thanks for this!
