Hi astrozombies. Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry you are in a depression. That is a hard place to be in. Your therapist is only trying to dispel your guilt you were feeling about kissing with someone.
If you find that alcohol or recreational drugs causes you to do impulsive things, be careful because the rebound of depression can be mania where bad decision making rules and one's behavior can be influenced by a false sense of invincibility.
Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems are more manageable the more they help others.
Anxiety chat is from 8PM EST on Wednesday and Depression chat is 9PM EST on Thursday. Many people go there with other diagnoses so if you want to meet some people and find support there you are certainly welcome. And their are other chats too. When you have 5 posts you can check the schedule on the Calendar in the blue bar above. Bipolar Chat has been happening on Saturday night at 9PM EST.
Glad you are joining us here. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek.
