Okay, I'm fairly new here. I've been reading posts for the past little while desciding if I wanted to post or not. But then today... it just wasn't good. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and I've been on Effexor for over a year now. It helps a lot... I think. Up until this year, I'd seen the same T for 3 years on and off. I still talk with her, but we're more friends than anything else. I know it may seem weird, but it's not. I left my home for a uni 10 hours away this past September, and everything was going great. Then I got stressed with school and that fun stuff, and the depression started to come back hardkore. Today I had my first appointment with a T here at the uni. She says she can only do about 5 sessions, and if I want any more then I have to find someone out in the community. I don't want longterm counseling, I can deal with what I have. I've had to deal with it for the past.. what 3 - 4 years? It's not likely that she can fix anything in 5 sessions. My other T tried and tried, but her biggest success with me she says was getting me to open up. She's was a mental health worker who came in to the highschools in the area. Wow, I'm just rambling on. But, I came out of the session feeling worse than when I went in. I went in feeling okay, and came out wanting to cry, and missing my family more than anything. Things back home have been a little rocky and I just want to be back there with my family telling them everything will be okay. But, I'm stuck here.
