Even making this post is hard
I never know what to say. If I ask for help I feel like I am begging, asking for something of value from someone.
I’m really glad you posted even though you admitted it was hard to do. Don’t feel bad for asking for help. You are NOT a burden, you’re a human being that needs support. No need to apologize. Help is valuable, but so are you. You are valuable enough to receive help. I’m sure you have something to offer the world. I know that you’re probably in a dark place right now, but it doesn’t mean that it will always be dark.
I've been depressed since I was 11. I didn't speak a word about how I was feeling until I was around 20. It always felt like a floodgate would open if I said anything.
Yah, I've been depressed since I was about 11 too. I'm 61 now and never figured it out.
I know it’s hard to reach out but you did it! You did amazing! Everyone needs help from time to time! Please if you need to talk, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I am here for you!
