New user, looking for people to talk to

I googled psychology support groups today. I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to, my people don't understand. Been very depressed lately. I phoned a psychologist today and going to make an appointment. I feel so ashamed, I know I shouldn't. But feels to me like I've failed in life, reaching this point.

Thank you so much. I'm always wary of online chat forums, people can be so mean. I took the plunge and have an appointment on Thursday now. I'm scared, but I know I need it. Never been to them, but they have good reviews.

hug, I don't have anyone to talk to either. You can talk to me

Oh you have definitely NOT failed in life because you are depressed and called the psychologist -- so many of us are in the same spot. That actually shows lots of strength! Just be totally honest on Thursday with the doctor. And always come here and share when you need to!

I'd be embarrassed if I didn't get help for my depression. You made a good, healthy choice. Best wishes!
