Thanks. Yes, infact I do have a psychologist I go to, and see about every 2 weeks. But.. the problem is.. is that, I have missed about 2 appoitments. Because of.. well, ultimatly personal issues. Getting transportation to the center is very difficult for me. Because since I am in a wheelchair, my mom doesn't have a car/van that has a lift in it. I have not learned to drive yet either. So.. it's REALLY hard getting over there. And when I have to get transportation, I always forget to call ahead of time, and they can't make a reservation, they call it, to pick me up, and drop me off from my house. So.. it's kind of a cycle that goes on everytime. Because ushually if I have an appoitment after school, I just motor down there in my wheelchair, since the center is only a block away from my high-school. So, that's a good thing. And ushually I would motor home on a nice day too. But, when it's cold now, like it is, I'm.. not gonna get the chance of getting sick, since I also get sick easy. O_O. So, thats something else I get depressed about, because I forget easily. And my step-dad gets on me about missing it. He's like.. "You don't miss your appoitment with the nurse to get pills, now DO YA?" I say.. "No.. because that's very important." And in a sense, he is right, a psychologist appoitment should be a prio. too, ya know? But, he always gets on me about stuff I forget. And I told him I have memory problems, like moderate. And he just gets all pissy and says, "WELL, EVERYbody has MEMORY problems.. it's not just YOU BRANDON." That makes me so mad.. but if I explode at him, he will take my internet away, even though I'm 18, and can make my own decisions, but what he and my mom say is.. "AS long as your living.. in this house, you WILL follow our rules.." And it's like.. well, why can't you just let me pay for my own Internet then? And then I don't have to worry about it. And then he's like.. "Well, it doesn't WORK that way.." It's like he always has to nit-pick at me about something. And frankly, brag about what he can do.
The thing that really ticks me off is. Is when I tell him my feelings.. about my depression. And he's like.. "Well EVERYBODY is depressed, I'M depressed, you don't hear me saying, 'WOE is MEEE'.."
