Maybe a start
I haven't cried in so long. I have depression and my life is a mess. Today I saw a reddit post that brought up the memories I have been trying to ignore. I ended up crying quietly in bed. I need help. I have been in denial, thinking that I will somehow figure it out but I clearly need help. Maybe this will be a start to dealing with it. To stop blocking my thoughts by mindlessly reading novels and scrolling through short videos to prevent myself from thinking about anything. I need to face the fact that I am running away from my problems.

I am sorry to hear you are struggling, but I think it is worth applauding your self reflection and analysis of what you might need. Escapism is completely understandable, and I suspect that maybe most of us indulge in it in some way or another. We all have different ways we try to deal with things which are difficult or upsetting. Acknowledging you might need a big of extra help getting you back on a path towards where you want to be is no small thing. It is not always easy, so I am proud of you.
