I Have a Confession

I need help but I'm too depressed to do anything
secretly hoping my GP will send me to a psychiatrist so I wouldn't have to explain why I am the way I am

Where I live, seeing a therapist isn't stigmatized by many. It's more like a badge of honor.

If there is something you need to survive, then you must go get it. If you are strong enough to keep secrets, then you are strong enough to skirt the truth until you can/want to tell it.

Contrary to popular belief, psychiatrists and psychologists aren't magical mind readers.

Take care of YOU or there won't be anybody to take care of the ones you are taking care of now.

@Mamapolo2016 Where I live, seeing a therapist means you're crazy (even if you're seeing them just to be sure you're healthy) and not in a positive way.

That's hard. But it still holds true that you have to take care of you or the rest falls apart.@Melpomene

@Mamapolo2016 Everything has already fallen apart. I'm trying to get back up without ruining something else

I am not a professional and I have no meds to offer - but if talking would help, my PM is open. 🤗@Melpomene

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you but I think what I really need is a doctor 🤗
