If you really need to see a therapist, then don't let that stop you. If you can't handle one, find another. Sometimes it takes a while for you to find the right therpist that you like and trust. Not all of them will be extremely calm.

Well, it sounds like you would really benefit from seeing one. I thought the same thing at one time, and ended up needing to go cause of a gambling problem and it turned into something really beneficial. It helped me in all aspects of my life......not just my addiction to gambling.
The important thing is to be honest with your therapist. If you think they are too calm........tell them! Tell them why it bothers you that they can be so calm while you are going through such a hard time in your life. They can take it . And if they cant, find a new one! By being this honest, it will help them get to the root of your problem and they may shed some light where you don't see any now.
Hope that helps and good luck!

my bf feels the same way you do but you know what? you just have to be open to what they are saying to you regardless of how calm they might seem, after all they want to help you.
Other suggestions would be perhaps to talk to a close friend, get everything off your chest you know? I battled depression for a long time and for me what really helped was just getting out of the city and into nature - now that's just my thing, I love being away from everything so I can forget my problems, the other thing to keep in mind is that you DO have a degree of control over how you feel, when you start feeling down do something that you know makes you feel good about yourself, paint, golf, whatever you fancy. I'm going to be a psychologist myself because I really enjoy helping other people feel good about themselves and that's what you need to do. You may want to just see your doctor and they can prescribe something for you, I was on a low dose of paxil for the last stretch and it seemed to help me, I found I had more energy and more ambition to do something about my problem. That's the issue with depression you just get so stuck in a rut that you can't see any way out of how you feel. Feel free to email me, I'm more than willing to chat and offer some advice for dealing with it rather than paying too much to see a real psych (cuz I know they're not cheap!). Check my profile you can reach me that way.

Take some time and think why does it bother you that the therapist are calm? Do you think that they may be judging you? If they don't remain calm how are they suppose to help you? Therapists are all different. You can have one that just sits there and doesn't give you any feedback while others help you, by giving you the input to help yourself. Being depressed is NO FUN at all! But don't you deserve to feel better? I think it would be better that you at least see someone. So that they can help you before you "blow" up. It's better that way.

Not all counselors are alike. There are several different styles or theories of counseling - each that appeals to different people. See your primary care doctor and ask for a recommendation. You can also ask for a referral from your local mental health facility or agency. If that is not available, ask the counselor at your local school for a list of people they have had experience with. They might be willing to steer you in the right direction. One thing I know for sure - mental problems do not just go away like a cold or the flu. You do need to see a professional if you truly want to improve your mental health.

I don't think all the therapists are the same, why don't you try someone and if you don't like him, then talk to somebody you know, maybe a close friend or somebody you trust, otherwise you're gonna get ill, I mean something is gonna happen to you

There are a lot of phone help lines for this kind of thing. Look in your directory enquiries. If not why dont you talk to someone you're close to they will understand

see a dr. get a referral for a psychiatrist that is nonchalant. you just need to do it so you can get the help you need. then you can get anti-depressants.
p.s.
try going to the gym or exercising regularly... it gets your body to produce more endorphins (the chemical that helps you get happy)

I'm a nurse. Talk to your primary doctor about this, a person/doctor you can trust. Take care.
