Pretty,
I was turned down for counseling that I sought for my issues other than my own drinking, and when I told them that I had a problem with alcohol and they referred me to someone who specialized in chemical dependency. It was a real let-down, but I think it's somewhat common-place and I pretty much understand their motive for doing that. However to insist that you take anti-depressants right away seems a little suspect to me. In any case, I would 'shop around' a little more for someone who is more understanding and feels right for you. *hug*
