This is a supportive place, and I hiope that you find the help you are looking for. The too much emotion might be due to something that I'm guilty of (as are most people that are depressed) - ruminating. Perhaps you can revisit the counselor and ask that person for more direct suggestions on how to deal with depression. You might also consider medication. I fought the med idea for quite some time, but now that I'm taking it, I am feeling the benefits.
