Hi Rosario and welcome to PC. It is so hard to take that first step when we need help. It takes courage, especially when we are feeling so low from depression. I believe therapy can be helpful in many cases in dealing with depression. There are different ways that therapy can help. Different therapists have different approaches.

Some people here have written about their strong attachment to their therapist and how it can be a double-edged sword. My first therapist, who I went to see at the bottom of my depression, was a very nice and competent therapist who practiced cognitive behavioral therapy. I felt no special bond or attachment to her, but yet she was able to help me some with my depression. So I think you can still get some help without the intense attachment that others write of. With my second (and current) therapist, I did make a strong attachment, and it has been very, very positive for me, and enabled me to make even greater strides with my depression. For the most part, I now feel "cured" of my depression.

I hope you will give therapy a try. It can be so helpful just to have a person to share your thoughts and feelings with each week. It sounds simple, but can be magical. I wish you the best of luck.
