Hello,
I need some advice. I've been suffering from depression for many years now, and I have been able to keep it in control - well to the point where I can still perform my job and not distress my family. However, it has come to the point where the depression is becoming overwhelming. Everyday now is a struggle. I wake up feeling dread and anxiety, and I have to fight to get out of bed - to do normal things. I'm afraid to leave the apartment and I stay there unless I absolutely have to go out. I don't want to feel sad and miserable everyday for the rest of my life. I want to get help.
But I just don't know how. I never had a family doctor so I would have to randomly find one and tell this stranger all my problems - this feels wrong to me. Anyway, I would like to ask how exactly do I ask for help without feeling worse about myself or being judged? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Lyam

Lyam,
I worry about things that do not make sense to any body else. You are worrying about talking to someone that is going to help you. This one does not make sense to me. I am wrong about my worries and you are wrong about yours. As much as I don't know you and every thing is anonymous in this site, your doctor visit is secret. I have been several times. Just go and let these wrong thoughts out of your mind.

I have been through the same issue. I had control of my depression for years and in the past 3 mos its gone wild. I know it doesn't seem right but if you do need to talk to someone confidentially, you can email me at [email protected] believe me, having been in the same thing, I am definitely not prone to judge. Also, psychologists are confidential. They cant even tell parents w/o ur permission. So you should check into that.
