I tried to handle it myself for a year. When I finally with to therapy, I immediately became aware of the fact that I had been depressed for a lot longer and I was more dysfunctional than I realized. For me, it took me a few therapy sessions, for the reality of where I actually was to sink in.

bri77 09, have you ever been to therapy before? Until this point, I had never considered ever going to therapy. By the time I got to the point of even considering it, I was really bad.
