So I was depressed for quite a while, I was referred

to a counsellor by my doctor and school, but I told her I didn’t need to see her after the first session. I don’t think the feeling really went away, and now I wish I hadn’t said no to the counsellor. I haven’t been suicidal since Feb/March? Which is a good thing. But I hardly ever go out. I haven’t seen my friends in months. And I miss them all terribly. I also want to start college in January, to try and get everything back on track, but I don’t know how. I don’t have ANY confidence at all, not anymore. Which is why I never go anywhere. And I’ve started eatting more than I should, which makes me feel even worse. Argh!

You could call back the counselor and ask to meet with her again. If she says she can’t (because she has too many clients, etc.) ask her for a referral. I know from tons of personal experience that counseling can be really helpful (and life-saving) even if it is just to have someone to support you through tough times…especially if you are feeling socially isolated because of your depression. Hang in there, and keep looking for help until you find the right person to help you. Sometimes you have to go to a few different counselors before finding someone that works well with you.
