My new counsellor got me all hyped up last week about being a fighter and then I had a panic attack from it in the morning. I guess it was just to make me feel better by getting an emotional high before the depression kicks in. The higher you feel, the further you fall when depression kicks in. So I told him I was going to do a postal and clean out some manure at work. He wanted to get my psychiatrists number, like I'm going to tell him? Everytime I go for an appointment he forgets and leaves me sitting in the waiting room for at least 20 minutes or longer. This time was a half hour wait, with drugs, maybe seems like 5 minutes. I would have lost my appointment if I hadn't complained about it.

All counselors are not created equal. There are good ones and bad ones. There are some that are good for some people, but not so good for others. It depends on you and your situation. It is not unusual, in fact it is recommended, for a counselor to be in contact with your psychiatrist. Consistently leaving you waiting is not acceptable, though, and if this counselor doesn't seem to be working for you, there is nothing wrong with getting a new one. Counselors are definitely not a "one-size-fits-all" commodity. Sometimes you have to go through a few to find the right one. Good luck!

Ok are you seeing a counselor or some weird junkie on the corner? If any of this is true then yes he's an idiot and you are too if you don't get a new counselor.

"Is my new counsellor an idiot?"
OH YA. I think you knew the answer anyway so our function here to validate what it is you already know: OH YA.

Counselors never help. They just take your money.
