Before you got help for depression...?!
Question:
Before you got help for depression...?
Before you told anyone that you needed help for depression, were you ever too scared? If so, how'd you get the courage to tell anyone?
Answers:
I wasn't scared. But it took me a long time to realize that there was something wrong with me that a therapist could not solve. I wound up going to a hospital on National Depression Screening Day in October, two years in a row. I simply showed my mother the ad in the newspaper. It was on the second visit to the hospital that I was diagnosed and began taking medication.
As for you, if you think you're suffering from depression, TELL SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW!! There's no shame or embarassment in reaching out to others. Depression is a serious illness.
