A little update:
I'm in day 3 at this partial hospitalization program. Honestly it feels like punishment for 90% of it. This program is all group sessions, and although i've taken a few things from it, I think it's all stuff I could have gotten from 1 session with a therapist one on one.
I'm trying not to be defeatist about all this, but it's hard. I came to the realization that my depression is based on feeling worthless about not living up to my potential. It's hard to fix your life if the depression makes you physiologically incapable of motivation. The counselor says the solution to that is to do the things you need to do in spite of lack of motivation. In his words, "Just do it!". It kind of chesses me off to think that my insurance is spending thousands of dollars for me to see a pdoc for 10 minutes and get told a nike slogan.
Anyway, enough of my whining, thanks for reading.
