this is insane...what will someone say when they read this and if i'm in an ok mood? |
opaque, don't fall for that trap! That is a mistake I made for years, I would go through this awful cycle where when I felt OK or even good I would convince myself that I didn't need help and then when I felt awful I felt helpless anyway so I didn't see the point. Again, don't let the depression fool you! If you are having a couple or good days or weeks, etc chances are that if you don't get the help you need, you will feel badly again. If you talk to a professional they will be very aware of the fact that these things can go through cycles so don't worry about that.
