Finally
I just spoke and made my first counseling session with a therapist. She has a very busy schedule, but we managed to find a time, so we could work through my problems. We spoke, and she suggested that I, also, see a psychiatrist for my depression and suicidal thoughts. I have not yet acted completely on those thoughts, but she still asked me to do see the psichiatrist meanwhile, and I told her I will stay around up till we meet. I was nice to hear someone telling me that is important that I stay alive.
How did I find her? Well first of all she is not a transactional analyst. It is almost impossible to find one here where I am living in. So I just went on with what my insurance offers and found an office. I went to that office, and I sat around a bit, and I looked and read the flyers and business cards, and I chose one. I already like her after our first phone call because she seems to be ok with my craziness.
So Up-till our first session my mission is to stay alive.
One Step at a time.

Sweety, i totally feel what u r going through. I hit rock bottom last year.
Depression in not something that should be taken lightly or ignored. It's not just like a little cough that if left untreated it would just go away.
You are so brave for taking that first step. I applaud you...bravo. :D
I don't want to give any advice coz there are many types of depression and so what worked for me might not be universal, the only thing i want to say is, as you mentioned yourself, it's one step at a time...don't expect major changes quickly. Take it one day at a time. :D
Oh and though we have never met, i have come to know you through your blog, and i could definitely tell you have a beautiful soul. So I care a lot about you :D
