Some psychiatrists and therapists will encourage written communication. Enquire of this; will your doctor welcome an email prior to your appointments?
Have you considered a support group related to mood disorders (which it sounds like might be appropriate)? This is a great opportunity to engage with like minded people. There is no requirement in most cases to talk. In mine, silent participation is welcome. It is also an opportunity to socialize. You might find some acquaintances. This has been my case.
I stress again the action of observing people and their successes in interaction.
