Yes, I agree. A psychologist you see every once in a while can't replace "someone to talk to." May you find that someone, or may that someone find you.

I've been seeing this psychologist since late October and have had 3- 30 minute sessions. Yes, these are the first classes I've taken in 2 years. I've, essentially, been a recluse after I moved back in with my parents in 2010 and I've been doing absolutely nothing the last 2 years. No job, no school, nothing. I decided that needed to stop so I signed up for 2 art classes at my local community college just to get out of the house and out of my head. I thought it would distract me but these classes are just adding more stress to my life. My depression may also be clouding my concentration.
I don’t know. I just want to start living my life but I’m so frustrated that I have to wait even more. I have plans to move out again and want to decide what to do with my life but my brain is just not letting me do any of that. Luckily, I think I have made a decision about the therapy thing. Last night, I found an old referral from my old university’s case manager going through my email and I think I’m going to change psychologists. This new psychologist has a private practice, used to work at my local university’s counseling center, and offers sliding scale. It may cost a lot more than I’m currently paying but I think, in the long run, I’ll be better off. Hopefully.
