Funny Story...sort of...

Hi all:

I decided that it would be good for me to see a counselor. So, I called one. But, got a voice mail. Sadly the voice mail was an old voice mail (referenced an out of office date that had already passed). So, giving the benefit of the doubt, I left a voice mail. Well, they never called me back.

So, I emailed a local group of counselors, told them I wanted to schedule an appointment this week on a particular day since I was off that day. In my email, I included my phone number. The results? No callback and no email reply.

Not responding to my communications is surely not the best way to help someone away from depression...

Thanks...

There could be many reasons nobody got back to you. Try not to let it get you down, and keep trying. You really have to give people the benefit of a doubt or you will be depressed all the time. Not saying what happened was right, it just is what it is. I know it makes you feel bad, it would probably make me feel badly too. But you can't give up.

Sometimes when these things happen with miscommunication and all that, it is because there is something better. So please don't give up, keep trying. You are looking for help and you will find it. Tomorrow could be a better day.

Keep posting and know that we all care. Keep trying...

Hugs, Karen...

Email is usually not a great way to contact doctors, I have found. Especially therapists,as their office staff manages their calendar and they spend alot of day every day with other clients. Call the office, and they can help direct you.

I know your frustration. I hope you find someone to help you soon!
