I hope it's just moths then, though I don't like them Id rather that than wiggly creatures. My flatmate said it looked like a tiny worm
Nah I think that too, I like having one spider around to take care of flies. As long as it doesn't come too near my personal space haha

And yes, I live at home, but cannot afford to move out.
Are you sure it is depression or not only caused by some thins, you don't have yet? (Own flat, girlfriend, etc....) Or is it both? I think therapy (and it is perfectly normal, if you need some time to find the right therapist. From counselling(which is not psychotherapy) I would not expect very much, is it is actual depression. Maybe you can also read around, which kind of therapy you prefer. There are different methods.)
Tonight is Friday, and I have a test I want to study, but then I just want to go out and get drunk in a club, and I want them to section me because most of them "say it's wrong and abnormal".
You want them to section you, because you like clubbing more than studying (pretty normal, but often not possible)?

And another thing is that therapists tell me advice, but then they would say to their colleagues the exact opposite. I just think they pick and choose who they want to treat based on who has a "cute" or "sexy" personality....I guess it's just how our society is, but I don't have to like it....
Yeah, sadly it is part of it, but honestly just search someone else...

I'm not Asian, no. But then I can't be me and be/do who I want to be. they just like to single me out.
And yes, I live at home, but cannot afford to move out. But then I hate therapy because it's too selective, and most of them don't really have a clue how modern society works. Tonight is Friday, and I have a test I want to study, but then I just want to go out and get drunk in a club, and I want them to section me because most of them "say it's wrong and abnormal".

Sorry for some reason in my sleep-deprived haze, these posts have only just come up for me
Sorry you feel like you can't be yourself - that must be really hard
It does sound like you've had rotten luck with therapists. Rest assured there ARE good ones out there who won't be as silly as the ones you've had! 
Today is boat day 
Just waiting for my daddy to come and pick me up so we can go and see her and hand over the cash.
Cannot actually wait to be able to use her! Found a perfect mooring too with electricity and everything so should be able to get her to where I want her to be really soon.
Eeek! So excited.
Had a bit of a rough week this week with school. Didn't feel like I did much and I'm not really attaching to my mentor the way I'm supposed to. I think my department is just a bit weird.

Hope you have a good day today, though, and feel ok Original post by ScaryScience

Don't pressurise yourself too much hun - if it becomes too much, your own health has to take priority
I think you'll do a great job of being empathetic and sympathetic and a good listener though 
Thanks hun, am quite tired
Tasha is on her way to see me though, so am bouncing off the walls with excitement Original post by The_Lonely_Goatherd

I have faith in you lovely but equally I don't want you to feel stuck and like you can't back out if you need to. See how it goes and if it can't continue for whatever reason, that's OK!
Will do. Will take a selfie and PM you the pic on Facebook

im so tired. physically and emotionally exhausted. trying not to cry. meant to be meeting a 'friend' later. haven't seen her in at least 6 months. she messaged me on facebook and basically told me she didn't want to have anything to do with me because I didn't reply to 2 of her texts because I was too busy trying to stay alive. not looking forward to it tbh. aaaand its sort of like a meet up with others who are meeting for the first time so that's a bit just wanna cry over the whole thing. too worn down for this tbh
