Depression and Therapy

I don’t need that slip of paper. Or even an email. They always remind me anyway. When I leave the session, I feel empowered. Until I make my way to the front desk. And they demand my schedule. And they judge my schedule. We agree on 1:00 Wednesday. Walking outside, I feel like walking outside for once. But the car is waiting, and my house is waiting. I could go out again. Anytime I want to. But I just won’t. Until 1:00 on Wednesday.
