I turned up for my first session today, mostly it was introductions and about my background. I really off-loaded as much as I felt able to and I felt releived that I told her things that I have never told anybody before.
I really thought a lot of my issues were minor but i was told that I cant move forward without dealing with these issues and discussing them. All was looking up for me until she told me that she cannot start counselling sessions for another 3 months as she is so busy.
BAM, what now, carry on suffering for 3 more months until there is a slot for me. If I was suicidal I could get help almost immediatley-who knows in 3 months I might be.
The system is so wrong. not blaming the counsellor as she explained that it is the lack of funding.
Anyway I have had a good cry this morning and still feeling lousy. Just cant seem to pick myself up at all. So fed up feeling like this all the time, i want the inner pain of this depression to go away and give me some peace.
Anybody got any good tips on getting through the day with these horrible thoughts and feelings going on all the time.?
Thank you all for reading this post and for all the replies from yesterday.
