At what point should I seek help for how I feel?

My doctor once said and I'll never, ever forget it: "If something ruins your daily life, which includes social relationships, relationship with family, with yourself, functioning on work and stuff like that, that means there is pathology that needs to be cured". And he's right ! So that's my answer. When you see your symptoms are ruining your daily life. And also, you should seek help when you FEEL that you need to seek help. I hope you all reading this get the right treatment.

You should always seek help if you feel you need it. There is no point where you need to be helped, you know when you need to.

It is never too early to seek help. Try and get out in front of the feelings before they get worse.

When you begin to sense that these feelings are interfering with your every day enjoyment of life and the things that you love.

I believe a person should seek help when it starts to interfere with your everyday life or routine.

It's perfectly okay to not feel okay, I want you to know that... You are not alone in all this. But if you're waking up everyday with feelings of unexplainable sadness or having thoughts of harming yourself or others, TALK TO SOMEBODY! It is never too early to seek help for how you are feeling. I know this sounds cheesy, but even just talking to anyone about the way you're feeling: a therapist, a teacher, a parent, a sibling, a friend, even a listener on 7 Cups of Tea, ANYONE... can dramatically help! I hope you start to feel better soon. Feel free to private message me if you'd like to continue talking. Things do get better. Believe me. Best Wishes, Francesca Gabrielle

I think that we seek help when we are stuck and we are aware that we need help. If I am stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, I can solve the problem by getting the spare tire and replacing it. But, what if I don't know how to change a flat tire or my spare is also flat? Clearly, I need help. Now, I could call AAA or call a friend for help. In the same way, if I am dealing with feeling anxiety or depression, I need to call for help to help me cope or resolve my situation.

instead of asking for help or advice literally you should just start discussing your problems as soon as you realise there is or might be one. This will help you to look at the situation differently and options available to you and probably find your own solutions at the earliest.

If you feel like you need more help outside of cups of tea, it's usually a point when you feel like you need it, You are the expert on you.

Many times, our feelings and emotions can get in the way of how we go through our daily lives. Whenever you start feeling like you can't go on or like your life is becoming unbearable, that is the time to begin consider seeking professional help. A therapist can help you understand your emotions better and help you find ways to cope with your feelings in a healthy way.
