Worth it?

[Dunce]

I've been thinking of getting help for my depression, but I dont know if it's worth it. The thing is, over the past few weeks I've been happier, but when I think of certain things, or at a certain time or day I get depressed again. I dont want to go and say "Well, I'm not as bad as I used to be, but please help me handle the tough times please?". Like, I have a feeling they'll dismiss me and say that I'm just bad at handling bad days. Or else, from what I've heard they'll tell me to do things I enjoy and avoid things I don't. I've already been doing that, that's how I got here. But some things I can't avoid, there's always something that makes me feel like I'll have a breakdown, something small.
The things that get me down I can't avoid, because they're just linked in with everyday life, like a package deal. Will they teach me how to be able to handle these things or do they even know how to do that?
Like, content people have a way of looking at things, I dont have this, with some things my depression takes the wheel :/

I had the exact same concerns as you, that if I went and asked for help they'd ignore me, and tell me I didn't need help. I'm finally getting help. I'm starting councelling, but I got it in the worst way ever. I ended up overdosing and being taken to hospital. That was the first my parents knew about my depression, when they had to take me to hospital.

Basically what i'm saying, is don't be scared to try and get help, because you do need it and you won't be dismissed. If you don't get help now, you'll only get it later in a way that hurts to remember.

Feel free to contact me if you want to talk :)

I feel the same thing. There have been a lot of problems with my dad at home, and I'm having a really hard time handling everything. Every time he does something I tell myself that I'm gonna go get professional help, but like the next day or something I keep feeling like I'm so stupid for feeling the way I do and never get any. I know I need to, but getting some will just make everything real, you know? If I don't get help, I can pretend nothing happened. Once I get some sort of help, someone else knows and there's no turning back.

What I would do is get help. I know it'll suck to make everything 'real', but it will be worth it. Don't lie to yourself because it'll just make everything worse when you finally do decide to talk to someone.

Getting help was uncomfortable in the beginning (for me) but, in the end, it's all worth it.
