I have been in therapy for some time, and I am well aware that people my age are not equipped to handle such problems. But, when I do go to them with problems, it would be nice to actually be listened to, rather than blown off. Even just a "I can't really help, but if you need to talk, I'll listen," would be nice to hear. And, to an extent I agree that a lot of these problems are my own.
However, I stand by what I said about this chapter's sisterhood in particular, and not only because of what I've experienced personally. My roommate went into the chapter room and asked if anyone had seen me - everyone shrugged and responded, "Nope." She asked, "Well, did anyone text her?" All they said was, "Nope." So she said, "Okay, well I'll text her. I'll let you know what she says." Their response: "Who cares?" On top of that, my roommate has been in the kitchen and she hears some of the sisters gossiping about her from the other room. She's on our executive council, and even she's considered dropping because of the way we treat each other. Everyone, and I'm including myself, is so unapproachable that it just makes for a miserable sisterhood.
To *winter* - I've never heard of residential programs for depression? What are those? Do you have any more information about them?
