Well that was a waste of time...

So, I've probably had depression and social anxiety for the past two years at least, but during the past few months it's gotten progressively worse and today I had a really bad day. I ended up exploding in front of my parents and basically pouring my guts out about how I didn't have the energy to do anything and how hopeless I felt.

After awhile they eventually tried to call the doctor's office to get me an appointment to see him...after 10 or 15 minutes of waiting on hold they eventually referred us to another mental health establishment and they called them and they asked to speak to me directly (I didn't really feel like talking to them). They asked me a few questions like was I feeling suicidal and had I ever been to a psychiatric hospital, I told them no and they said "well, we don't do outpatient counseling, good luck" and hung-up.

So now I'm basically disgusted with the whole system and I'm not really sure what to do now.
