Hi, randomly saw this thread. I don't know you but I just wanna say that anon's reply was a bit rude, but from this reply, do you think it's possible you're downplaying your mental health issues? Especially on intake lines. Again, I don't know your situation, but a lot of therapy taught me that this was the case for me. The only time I've ever texted my therapist outside an appointment he immediately knew I was actively suicidal because "I don't ask for help" so it must've been serious. Please don't let it get to that point.

I am guilty of doing this as are most people who have been raised in a "caretaking" role (especially taking care of their own parents). It's really, really difficult to admit when you need help because you're so used to comparing your problems to other people's problems, and saying "well I'm not doing that bad. I can manage." Which yeah, maybe you can, but people in better states than you are asking for help every day and the difference is they actually get it.

I don't really know what motivated me to type all of this to you. I'm just asking you to consider it. The possibility that you are depressed is a real one, whether you think you are "depressed enough" or not. If you find yourself calling a therapist's office any time in the future, please be mindful that you are deserving of help. You spend time advocating for other people so you know how to do it - great. Do that for yourself. There is always going to be someone in the world suffering worse than you are. That is no reason to continue suffering alone.

AYRT--thanks for replying and being polite about it. I could be downplaying stuff? Idk.

I've tried listing off the specific things I need to get better at/need help with that make me anxious, but they're not on the intake questionnaires (hoarding, cleaning/organizing, and opening and dealing with physical mail.) I mentioned all three (and family stuff, anxiety, and possible autism/ADHD) to the doctor during the intake appointment. And I was definitely depressed at the time!

I get a bad depression day or two every month along with migraines thanks to PMS, but other than that I'm way better now. I do want to try and get an appointment/get screened for stuff. I just get frustrated and discouraged easily because the appointments themselves are work, and I hate having to jump through hoops for months even to get one in the first place.

I wish the first real therapy session was guaranteed once I made it through the screening, instead of being a separate process. The group sessions work like that--you get a referral and go.
