OMG:
I can't get out of this depression I've fallen into, and now I spend almost every night crying. Maybe the counselling appointment I have tomorrow will help, but to be honest it probably won't. Where exactly in my life did I screw up to get to this point?
MOD'S Note: We're here for ya!

Good luck with the counselling. I hope it works well for you, even though you don't think it will. Remember they're very used to dealing with this sort of thing and you aren't alone. :)

Suffered a lot, alone. Finally did go to UW counselling and it really does help. Just showing up and talking they are amazing and it really invigorated me. BUT find the person who you like. If you talk with someone and its not working for you, ask to see someone else. I like Beth :)

I feel the same way as you do OP, like I'm in a hole and can't climb out. You're definitely not alone! I've been thinking about getting some counselling but can't bring myself to do it, I keep thinking that maybe I'm just a hypochondriac and that there's really nothing wrong with me. It's a horrible cycle :(
Best if luck!!

I've been through it. Anxiety and depression are horrible. We're all here to talk if you need to. Hope you start coming out of it soon!

I went to UW counselling but didn't benefit much from it. One thing though - if you cry excessively alone every night, you may have trouble with counselling appointments. If you start crying in a counselling appointment, sometime the crying bouts will absorb most of the time allotted to the appointment. I think about half the people who attend counselling for depression related issues cry at least once during their sessions, so do not feel bad if you break down.

Hey good luck with it, life, university its hard. I found the UW services wasn't for me... But with your school health plan or perhaps parents you could see some one outside the school. I found the school only uses CBT which does not help me.

You don't have to have screwed up anything to become depressed. I don't remember who I saw but I absolutely hated going to councelling here. Never planned on going until my bf offered me the antidepressants he took for his anxiety problems. I'm sure making me feel stupid on top of being depressed wasn't what the councellor was going for but that's what she managed to do. Maybe I should have asked to see someone else but I opted to stop going, ended up getting out of it myself again anyway. Just my experience though, some people find it really helpful. Give it a try and if you don't think it's helping check out other councelling services in the area, or even just find someone you feel comfortable talking to. It can be so easy to isolate yourself and make everything worse.
