I am proud of myself because I got the help I needed

I was able to express my honest emotions and frustrations I was having with my depression in a therapy session yesterday, and my therapist stood with me and helped me get the additional support I needed. It's so hard for me to show what's really going on with me, and even asking for help is a major challenge, but everyone I worked with to get help was so helpful and supportive that I appreciate their efforts so much.
