Hello.
I am dealing with major Depression.
I've gotten to the point where I can't even convince myself to go to a therapist or a doctor because I fear they will make my situation worse.
I feel guilty when I recieve help.
And what makes it worse is that, I'm a high-end introvert, so I can't even talk to others face to face about it.
I'm literally cutting myself, to ease Depression, relieve Anxiety and Stress, but it makes me more Paranoid.
I don't know what to do.
So that begs the question:
What do I do?
[i]Please help me.[/i]
Depression is a different animal for everyone who experiences it, so there's not one solid answer that'll solve your problems, but I can tell you what worked for me. I went out and did some volunteer work in my community. In my case, it turns out that catching a glimpse of my own ability to make a difference was exactly what I needed. That's probably in part because my depression stemmed from a situation that I had myself convinced I could have prevented, and I always felt powerless because I didn't.
