i'm depressed and my therapist is a condescending b i t c h

I'm sorry i have to vent
i have been depressed for close to 12 years now, and just FINALLY after i turned 25 started seeing a therapist.
this was a HUGE step for me, as i have terrible anxiety and am painfully introverted.

anyway so the first session i talked a bit about what i needed help with, ie anxiety, depression, and drinking.
the first meeting went okay.
the second meeting (today) was strange and i feel like i don't want to go back!
she asks me allllllllll these questions about my family that seem significantly irrelevant.
then when i'm trying to talk about a feeling i get about something, but can't give specific instances of what i'm talking about, she starts to accuse me of making stuff up!
( i mean at this point this is really making me feel like total ****)
THEN as we're talking, i tell her that i have a problem communicating ideas, because i tend to blank out under pressure- and then she asks me if i have a learning disability.
okay. thanks a lot lady- i am not sure if i ever want to see her again, but please tell me if i am overreacting.
i mean as an introvert it takes me sometime to get to know someone and open up to them- i cant just go up to a total stranger and gush my heart and soul (unless i'm drunk of course)
which is another thing- i have a huge drinking problem which she specifically told me to go to AA for and it seems like SHE doesn't even take it as seriously as i do.
speaking of which GOD I NEED A DRINK.
i feel 1000000 times more depressed now than when i went in there.

sigh
