Hi defenestratedmuse,

And another welcome to PC!!!

If you look around here a bit you'll see that this is a real good place to vent and express all of those "difficult" feelings without judgement, and with understanding and empathy from others

But the trust issue...........is that partly from the things/feelings you're dealing with right now?? As in why should anyone really care, what makes you special/worthy of anyone really caring?? Depression can certainly make you feel that way...........but that is the depression talking.............
And maybe you've been "let down" by others...........or seen a lack of understanding/caring in others..........if so you might be very right there, not everyone really "gets"/understands depression...........but some do, and you'll find plenty of those people on here, and caring and support as well

As for a T...........well understandable you might not throw trust, particularly with your innermost feelings, in a "stranger", and you shouldn't!!
But maybe if you could start off by getting a feeling of them as a person and how they intend to help you..........and see if they can bridge that gap a little, see if they can build that trust??? And let that take as much time as you need/want to decide on how much they truly care about you/about helping you??

But for now, I'm glad you're here
And I hope in time, if you stick around, you'll be able to see the real caring in people on here as I've seen it.
And again........welcome!!!!
