I'm new here...

Hi everyone. It's been a hard few weeks. I made a really stupid mistake and had to deal with the consequences last week and it's been crushing me, I feel like someone is pressing on my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. I really don't know how to move forward. I constantly have a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach, which makes me not want to do anything all day. However, I have made such a busy life for myself that I don't have time to stop and realize my depression, so it just sits and grows... day by day. I know I need to get treatment and go talk to someone, but I have a huge problem with vulnerability and owning up to my crap. I don't want anyone to think of me differently.

Ugh I’ve been there. I’m to the point that I’m like ok fighting this alone is NOT helping.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness! It is a huge sign of strength! Don't bury your emotions trust me.. I did it for 9 years and last year I knew I needed help before it ruined my life... I have a family I need to be healthy so I can make sure they are ok as well!

You shouldn't worry what your therapist thinks of you. They are there to help. If you need it, ask for help.

The therapist is there to help. I was seeing one ans stopped due to screwing up and not paying my insurance. I will be calling him to set up something again soon. I am bottled up and about to pop myself.
