Apologies

[MushyMushy]

I agree I do think therapy/counseling could help and I will go to county services if I can't find any other solutions. True I need to see how their services are and sometimes I get scared dealing with mental health professionals. Thank you for the well wishes and hugs

I don't know where you live, but where I live, the same counselors who work for county services also have their own private practices. So, you'd be getting the same counselor either way. It won't hurt to give them a try. There's a little more red tape, and having to deal with more stressed/harassed receptionists at a county place, but the counseling is just as good.

I told you I'm dealing with my own depression right now. My family doctor is the one managing my meds, but I have the most wonderful counselor. The meds help me feel better, but she's the one who helps me look at things in such a different light. I couldn't do it without her.

Good luck.

Earlier I called my insurance company and they gave me numbers of therapists that might be able to help me. There is a therapist who does sliding scales that is about 45 mintues away from me. I scheduled an appointment but it won't happen for a couple of weeks. I'll think I'll be ok for the next few weeks until I see the therapist and my pdoc. I'm glad you are doing well Mushy. Depression can be tough. I'm not sure what to expect with therapy. My boyfriend didn't try drink yesterday while he was out with friends because he was the d driver for another friend so I talked to him last night about how I feel with the stuff with my brother and he was very understanding. He sort of feels bad because in the past when I have told him about I miss my brother he has brushed off and spent a lot of time with his friends and stuff for the past few months. He told me to stop trying with my brother for awhile.
