I Am Depressed

I'm not really ever happy. And I've always been good at hiding it. I can't talk to a therapist cause no words come out. I'm depressed and don't know how to change it. Nothing seems to work to get me out of this hole. I'm not sure I care too much anymore. It's whatever I guess. I'm trapped in this prison, I remember the chains.

You have to be honest..... Honest with yourself and with those around who can help you.
It took me 5 years to actually approach a therapist and get myself help. This was after I had planned everything out to end it.
Trust your therapist....he or she is there to help. Be up front.
There's nothing 'wrong' with being depressed...so don't hide it. Being up front and letting others know what's going on is the first step in unlocking those chains.

Wishing the best for you

@shakenama: I guess I'm just scared of that kind of vulnerability. Everyone I've ever opened up to has tried to hurt me with it or kill me. From where I grew up if you did anything like that you were weak and therefore a target. Thx tho
