Just Venting

My T tells me I should be feeling "better" now, after only 3 sessions with her. I left the last one due to his over-zealous attraction to his 'scrip pad. I don't need more pills or fake smiles ........ I need help sorting thru the crap that is currently my life. This is not how I want to feel in a year!!
Threw a pillow at the tv today. Guess I saw that "Depression Hurts" commercial one too many times?
I'm tired of being like this, tired of being tired.
I know that life can be better than what I am feeling now.
Hid from the people that stopped by today, didn't answer the door or phone. I'm just having one of THOSE days where interraction with other people is too draining, hiding the depth of my depression from them takes too much effort.
Hopefully will be able to sleep tonite which will lead to a better day tomorrow.

I think it is extremely unrealistic of your T to think that you would feel better after only 3 sessions! I know in 3 sessions I'd wouldn't even scratch the surface!

Hang in there!

I have to admit, that IS rather idealistic to expect to feel better after only three sessions. I can totally relate to you're not wanting to deal with people when you're depressed. I'm very much an introvert, so people are draining enough when I'm not depressed.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having troubles with your therapist. That is not fun. I have a shrink right now with whom I am not seeing eye to eye. Is there a way you could get a second opinion?

Hang in there!

grrrr if you were only "blue" then yeah 3 sessions would help...but if you have depression (like you seem) 3 sessions isn't going to do much, esp if you don't feel the T is paying attention TO you not about you.

Do you have any meds to help you through this?

Three Sessions? I've been talking to a counselor for atleast six or seven sessions and I don't feel a whole lot better.
I hope you get what you need and work through your issues. Don't let your T rush you. He/she needs to push but not so hard as to make you feel overwhelmed by it all. A T needs patience. I am glad that my T is patient with me.
