Until I left for my first job at Cedar Point (terrible time...) basically I worked about 70 hours a week and didn't really have any coping time like I had before so I just ran with it for the 3 months until my contract ran up in August. Once I got home everything went ok for a week or two before my mood dropped like a rock. Yet for the entirety of October I have been trying to tell my family I need help. Yet, it just never came out as they were often times trying to get me to go and get a new job to pay for my expenses or get kicked out after Christmas. Earlier this week I finally got an interview scheduled today and it went ok I put on my usual mask and I feel like I will get the job but it just is putting me under way to much stress to the point my mom noticed. She asked me if I was depressed and I blew the perfect opportunity to finally get help as I froze and said I was fine which I clearly know I am not  Basically now I am stuck now unable to really ask for help due to how far this has gone and I don't have the energy to continue fighting to attempt to get help as it feels like a lost battle already.
Any help on how I should go about this?
Sorry for the block of text and sob story...

Hi.
I'm going to disagree with the other responses in this thread.
Don't write a note to your mom. DECIDE what to do for yourself. If you need help, don't ASK for help, f***ing GET help.
I would advise getting checked out medically and telling your MD what you're going through. Just call up your family MD, make an appointment and get yourself down there on your own.
I have a feeling that you might enjoy and really benefit from something that helped me.

I think this might help you get in touch with your own true inner vitality.
In any case, let us know how it goes.
