She offered to help me, but I don't know why she didn't offer help before. It's kind of mean to let me be this way without helping. Or maybe I just have too high expectations. Idk. But she knew I was having social problems, so she should have helped. She only offered this help AFTER my reevaluation and AFTER I asked.

I can understand why you are frustrated. I think I would be, too. Sometimes I think the professionals are gauging what to tell us and what not to tell us, and I find myself wondering what my pdoc is really thinking or picking up on. I often want to just say "out with it, what are you noticing?". I hope that she is able to help and it improves your social life.
