First of all, I think that you question your inability to "suck it up", and your desire for treatment say a lot. I don't think you'd question either if you had the ability right now. I agree with Dinah, you need to learn coping strategies now, take the time to get yourself together while you're still young, so you don't waste so much time later.
It's very understandable that you don't want to live with your sister and her friend. Who wants to go from their own apt. to living with a relative and no privacy. Plus, if you feel you're being taken care of, to any degree, then that's difficult to deal with too, esp. if you're dealing with depression. You want to feel like an adult, but dont' feel capable right now. That's okay, take the time you need to get there.
I can't imagine your T has forgotten you. Remember we rub off on them too. Not to the same degree we have feelings for them, but it does happen. How can they not be affected by us?
Do what you feel you need to do, your ideas all sounded reasonable. She might not feel it's appropriate to respond, but I'm sure she'll be touched in some way.
I don't agree that you don't need treatment. There has to be something to make you feel better. You just haven't found the right combo yet. I hope you get into the treatment center so you can get to feeling better. You have to get some nutrition, you have to sleep, no wonder you feel depressed! Take care of yourself, don't doubt yourself. This is NOT the way it's supposed to be, and hopefully you'll get to feeling better once you're back in treatment!
You are not annoying, you're in PAIN! You're huring, and you need friends to listen and respond to you, to tell you that you're feelings are valid. Can you reach out and call your T?
I know it's scary as hell, but she can't call you, you have to make that first step.
Keep us posted!
