dear Sparkles, I see that you have posted before, and please excuse me for not remembering if they were for yourself or to offer support to others, but now you are posting about the lack of professional assistance given to you, and I can't understand why a psychologist would want to say to you ' choosing to walk in depression', because that's a real turn-off for their client or patient such as you.
It does offer no or little support and only puts you one step behind which is where you are now, but please don't fall any deeper, as this will happen if you can't get the help you need.
What I would do with the next psychologist, which I will discuss a bit later, is to be up front straight away and tell them what happened last time, don't worry I have always done this although it's only been a couple of times, plus I have asked them if they have ever had depression themselves, and if they haven't I only see them once, sure they know what the text book says but that's no comparison than actually having had to deal with it.
I know that times have changed now because it's much harder to book an appointment within a couple of weeks.
Basically you have to click with the psychologist, and if this doesn't happen the first or even second time, it's still a must.
I understand that you have overcome this before, but please you have to realise that the second time or even more it does become a stronger feeling of depression, as it just builds up from the left overs from last time.
I would click under 'get support' at the top of this page where there will be a list of doctors who are aligned with BB and have experience with depression, so this means that you will have to start again, but this time you will be in the safe hands from the people who know best.
I am not sure whether or not you are working but you can let us know, and please don't leave this site because we want to help, so if you can reply then that would be great. Geoff.
