Based on the community response so far, I guess I can add poor communication, in addition to poor introspection.

I phrased my inquiry wrongly; when I mentioned the above I meant the normal psych specialists. I have one for medicine and one for counseling. Medwise I am stopping the worse of the mood swings and nervous fits, but in counseling I am stuck. I'm am trying not to blame the counselor, of course, but I'm not sure how to get out of the muddled dead end I'm currently in now.

This, though, is the one unmuddled thing...and the answer is no, nowhere. Previous enjoyment has now been reduced to a frenzied urgency to complete the thing I used to enjoy in the past.

That's why I posted it here
And I suspect other causes, cause paranoia and obsession over seemingly random things aren't exactly depressive symptoms yet there they are.
Also the general idea was that this would supplement the medical attention I get. I will see them on my normal schedule. But I was hoping that I could get data on what I need to break out of the current rut. The main problem seems to be that most of the time we veer off into inconsequential minutiae before stumbling onto something important.
I know someone will probably say this is how counseling is supposed to work. In that case, then I'm asking on here simply because I would rather attempt to find out what's wrong with me at a nonglacial pace. Currently I'm afforded two (usually irrelevant) trains of thought per thirty days (between appts). If I'm going to end up with relying on psychological dice rolls for progress, I would like to at least roll the dice more frequently.
I could be wrong, and I probably am. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't know what to do next.
