I'm only 21 and I already had a major depressive episode, been through hypomania, and recently just literally BURNT OUT because of stress, my foreheads been burning for 2 months and my vision is starting to blur, I have never been so depressed and I don't know how to find a way out now.

You need to find someone who has a flashlight and who will guide you out of this dark tunnel you're trapped in.

What about finding a counselor?

I already saw a therapist and she did not help me

Tell me more. What didn't she do right? Or why wasn't she helping?

I only saw her 3 times and basically she did not get my needs but she did refer me to a psychiatrist with the help of my doctor, that is the only hope I have left for now.

Did you tell her what you needed? Are you taking any meds to smooth out the wrinkles?

I'm just taking meds that are supposed to make me sleep but they don't. I'm exhausted

Then complain! This is your life and your body and you deserve the best of treatment.

I tell my clients that if I am doing or saying something they don't like or disagree with to please tell me. I can't read their minds, and they are paying for the help I am supposed to be giving them.

My sleeping pattern is screwed up, I was doing so good up until September and after I quit school everything unraveled
