I've been depressed lately. I've been depressed before in my life. This time it's because I live alone and don't know how to interject myself into the community. My current therapist is on vacation until september. I've made an appointment with another therapist and psychiatrist, but I won't get any meds until two weeks from now. I'm not suicidal (i'm the kind that threatens suicide but i wont do it) but i still feel awful. Is there any way to get immediate help? Should I go to the hospital? my GP wouldn't prescribe me anything, and I can't talk to my friends or family. I'm completely alone in this.

I know exactly how you feel; my therapist was on vacation for 2 weeks (he's back now) and I missed talking to him, and then when he got back he seemed to forget stuff about me, and played down my depression in favor of a pervasive developmental disorder... luckily he seemed tio know that the disorder was caused by the personality clashes of me and my mother and agreed that it was probably a good idea for us to be separated... well, he didn't say that, he was just thinking that I shiould have my own room and all that... And I'm probably gonna run out of Celexa soon, cuz I'm taking more than I was prescribed... anyway, please talk to me! PM me if ou want! Come and live with me and username88 if you want! You get meds really fast here in Alberta and it's completely covered by Social Services!

I read your post and though I don't have anything much to say, I feel compelled to respond. Your situation sounds pretty similar to mine. I also have issues with my mother and while I do live away from her... she's paying my rent. I need to be financially independent. Good news is though that I think i may be getting a call back at a place I applied to (finally). In any case, my determination is to find work no matter what kind of work, so if getting a job in the area i want (computer repairs) doesnt pan out i'll probably go work at a super market or something (i've done it before).
