i really need the help right now and the only alternative is inpatient.
i don't really believe it will help. i know that that isn't the best attitude to go in with, but i'm severely depressed and that's what's going through my head right now. i intend to do (do or do not, there is no try) everything they recommend. it's not very rational to give up without doing so. i think the hardest thing will be to be honest and admit to what i feel and i think. __________________ It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

Well, I got into the program. I'm not sure if that means I'm * really sick * or that they think I'm well enough to benefit from it.

They don't have anything in my area like this I wish they did. Although I do hate group therapy, but if I never do it how am I suppose to get better? Ugh.

I hope I can open up in therapy. These days I also tend to "clinical-ize" (my own word) all my symptoms and avoid feeling. Probably a downside to being a psychology student.
I wish you had a chance to do it in your area. I think a lot of the major hospitals in my area have some form of day/evening program. I guess I'm lucky that way. I think I'm a step away from inpatient, so than goodness. __________________ It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

Well that's cool that you have something like that... your a psych student as well? Me too. I actually want to be a therapist someday just because of all my experiences with therapy... good and bad.

I'm not willing to become a therapist until I have dealt with my own problems, but I would like to do it. Part of what I want to accomplish is to learn what holds me back from achieving my goals, both personal and professional. I don't feel capable of being a therapist right now and I think the worry of hurting my patients more than helping, in the case of a major depressive episode or work. One of the professionals I have worked with says that another therapist could take over my caseload if necessary, but I wouldn't want to let anyone down. Which, according to just my intake interview, is a major theme in my life.
