If you're depressed please get help if you haven't already. I've dealt with depression for a number of years and i always though i would deal with it or just get better without help. Well, 15 years later it hadn't gotten better and near the end of my rope I finally went and got help, It took a couple medication changes and talking to a therapist and while it's not completely gone it's gotten a hell of a lot better. There's no point in suffering in silence because you think it might go away.
how do I know if it's "bad enough"? I had quite a tough first half year but am doing better now (also thanks to being able to talk more about it with my SO, and deepening some friendships).
Basically I'm just not sure when/if I should. There's a lot of stigma attached, not just the feeling that I'd be judged (because probably no one would know, except the wife), but mostly because.... I don't know if I want to. I don't know if I want to feel that "out of control" that I need something like that - even if I might.
What if I never learn to deal with depression?
