Welcome to PC Tori...You have come to a great site. I joined last month and have met some very wonderful people. Many on here, including myself have/do feel the same as you.
I myself do see a Therapist on a regular basis, no medication as I build a tolerance too quickly to meds. I find that the therapy has made huge leaps and bounds for me I suffer from serious depression, mood swings, low self-esteem, social anxiety disorder & past issues catching up, a laundry list for sure lol but am coping so much better. This place is great even just to post anything that is bothering me and know that someone Will understand and respond...I found talking to someone instead of dealing with it in my own head worked so much better for me. I am my own worst enemy so always ended up with terrible advice lol. Without knowing your family all I can say is from my experience, it would not be burdening your family, I am sure they would prefer to know if you need help and would be more than willing to do what you need to get it.
Hope to see you round the boards and welcome again.
