level 2
Last week I finally broke down and admitted to my parents and sister that I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for the past few months. My fiancé has been aware of everything and trying to help but I still felt the need to hide it from my family despite them being extremely supportive. It helped that I saw them in person; it’s so weird to open up like that over the phone or texting. Afterwards I felt like 10 lbs lighter- such a huge weight off my chest! Even though I’m still trying to find a psychiatrist and things aren’t totally fixed, it was a huge step for me to be able to say all that out loud to them.

Hell yeah, proud of you!
I also want to remind you and everyone – therapy is a highly personalised affair, and as such not every therapist is a good match. If you’re not vibing with yours, I encourage you to try a different practicioner who works for you. It took me three tries but when I found one I clicked with, my progress was phenomanal.

Good luck ❤level 2Thx for the advice, will do!level 2Lol. I made the dumb mistake of stopping therapy because I felt better. No one pointed out that it was the therapy getting me to feel better, so I should keep going.level 1Congratulations on taking that step!
