Hard to admit

[treeyaya]

I've been brewing up some big time depression and spending a lot of time hiding in bed. I just don't feel like hanging out or chatting, because it's hard for me to resist acting like it's all good, and later feeling guilty for being inauthentic

Acceptance

[ext_385380]

I have to say that you have a lot of courage to be so honest with everyone... I have suffered for years with mild depression, but when my daughter died, it slowly got worse to the point I couldn't function. I started self-destructing, but still couldn't admit that I needed help. After I did something really drastic and upsetting, I sought out counseling and medication- finally accepting that I couldn't do it on my own. I have been in counseling for the past 8 months, and I finally feel happy again. I know a large part of it has been my medication- but I am able to accept that it's something I need right now to work through my problems. I hope you are able to find that in yourself as well. Good luck- and I am here if you need it!
