I have the opposite scenario, like I would like for somebody to listen to me expressing my thoughts and feelings face to face. But unfortunately I don't have this. I only met my psychiatrist like 3 times, and each session lasted like 20 min. I face depression alone. I told only my parents and eldest brother. The rest of my family don't know. I don't get any support even from my family. And here where I live (Saudi) we don't have support groups or anything like that. So consider yourself lucky you have the opportunity to talk. One thing I know for sure, is stuffing these things down is NO good.
Best of luck and do tell your psychologist about everything.
Stay Strong !
