Thank you for the replies, I do greatly appreciate it.

I currently see her for hourly sessions. What I was trying to say in my first post, is that I am a person who likes routine. I like to know what I'm doing, when I am doing it and why. And right now, it's stressing me out having appointments left right and center... they are never on the same day, never at a similar time and never with the same amount of space between them.

Yes, I said I wasn't a talky person and by that I meant, unless I am on a rant or something has very much bothered me (and the person there is someone I am comfortable with), I don't like to talk about myself or my experiences. However, I can talk for hours about it if the other person leads the conversation (asks questions). Which I have told her many times...

I've written down my major problems before, but right now, I'm having difficulty separating the physical and the mental (I'm experiencing a lot of muscular/joint pain and I doubt my possibly-mental problems by just putting them down as a result of my hurting from my joints etc).

I'd very much like to see a pschiatrist - as well as having the qualifications/experience, I'd also like to talk about medication and find out what exactly it is 'wrong' with me. I feel as though the lady I see, well, it feels like she can't do any of that.

I guess, I can sum it all up by saying that my 'therapist' right now seems as though she doesn't take my problems nor what I am going through seriously. And, it could just be my self-esteem however, I feel like I'm being treated like a stereo-typical 17 year old girl with mental health problems (i.e. apparently I'm emotionally unstable - no seriously, that's my current 'diagnosis'/why I was referred to see a mental health worker).

Worst part of all of this. 2 years ago I saw the same service, only I was referred to a Child Psychologist (who works with people up to the age of 18). I saw her for about 7 months and then I stopped seeing her because I went through a tough bout of depression/denial thinking everything was fine. When I went through a bad period again, I was referred back to the same service, only this time I was handed over to a Clinical Nurse.

I don't know what to think.. or say to her on Friday. I'd feel rude saying I'd like to see a psychologist/psychiatrist.

EDIT: Wow, sorry for the essay - I've had a tough day and needed something to rant about.
