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

@wallflowerguy Did you? Was it worth it to risk your condition potentially getting worse?
Contrary to popular belief, medicines don't make people addicted. It might be the feeling of "if I drink this it'll turn me into a normal person with normal reactions" and taking it on your own without previous consulting. It appears that most of the therapies are based on using meds if needed and then slowly diminishing the dosage and removing them (if used with CBT).
