I don't want to be told I have depression
Im pretty sure I have depression. Ive had it for a good for years, and I have sort of just broke a real down slump. That I slowly feel I'm falling back into, but that doesnt matter right now. I need help I think. But I dont want to get it. I dont want to be told that I am depressed. That I fit all the stereotypes of being depressed, that I have a right to feel the way I do. I have enough labels, enough people telling me who I should be. Im lost, confused and alone. Overthinking the world around me. Im not even sure if any of this makes any sense.
@convivialPlum6966 Having depression or any other mental illness does not define you as a person rather explains your ways of thinking and why I behave in certain ways. I have BPD, depression and GAD but that is not my identity, just as it isn't yours. I would encourage you to try and see that getting help is an opportunity for personal growth and an expression of other people's concern. You and I are not labels, we are people who are impacted by mental illness. Take care

I dont know if I can, but thanks
@convivialPlum6966 It is okay to take your own time. It is always your choice on how you want to deal with your situations. First prepare yourself mentally, emotionally and physically. Help is always around the corner and nobody will label you. Be strong. Lots of hugs. :)
