Now and then I talk to a sister. We live far apart, but we talk every week or so. I can tell her anything, and I do.

I would never tell any doctor that I take pain pills to ease depression. They would be legally required to cut off my supply, if I did. So I won't put a doctor in that position. And I won't give up something that helps me.

I did years of counseling. There's nothing left to talk about.

My community has a good hotline. I've called them in the past when I've felt bad.
