Afraid to ask for help
Hi. I've been feeling unhappy and depressed for over a year now. I've had really low moments in the past too. It's been really bad lately and I know I should get help but I'm too afraid to make an appointment... I don't know why it seems so hard when I know it will help.
@sensibleBeach9985 Sometimes when I need to make an appointment but don’t want to, I tell myself I can always cancel last minute. It helps me get over the hurdle. Also, it can take some time to actually book with a therapist. So if you find one you think might be good, if you don’t make the call now, they may get new patients while you’re waiting to decide and then might not have space for you in their practice. Anyway that’s my advice for what it’s worth. Best of luck.
Asking for help is a really hard thing to do and I absolutely congratulate you for reaching out. I know it’s hard and I respect the fact you’re in limbo at the moment. It’s completely normal to be feeling apprehensive. If you would like to message me please do but I feel you’re on the right path. Make that appointment! See how you go. You’ve got back up here!

there are many reasons people do this they procrastinate / they may not be sure of who or where to call
i know someone that never finishes anything but they do research the heck out of an item or service etc.....
maybe it is hesitation of unloading your thoughts as sometimes when we unload it gets messy and may not make sense to others si it is nerve wracking to present a concise picture for someone to be able to see your thoughts and view.
