Fox, please tell her about your depression. She is there to help you. Telling her could have you on the way to feeling better. Don't worry about her or anyone else judging you. I think you owe it to yourself to tell her. You might be surprised how much actually talking about it with a professional can help.

We can only help you so much on this forum. Please get the outside help you need by telling her. Okay?

I think you need to tell her everything. It is not fair to her not to. She needs as much info as possible to figure out how to help you and she is there to help you not to judge.

I think you should do exactly what many already suggested... write down what you want to talk about. You could then either give it to her... or just keep it to yourself as a reminder. Not that I think you would forget about the subject/subjects... but rather to make your mind more commited.

I know how it is. I have to tell you though: I'm glad you went. That is an accomplishment too.
Thanks for this!

Don't be too hard on yourself. I didn't go to a therapist for 6 years even if I knew I really should. And when I finally did I was to afraid to speak about the things that actually concerned me.

Herpoorsoul is right. Just going there is an accomplishment. But ofc we want you to tell her and it's natural that it feels bad for you. But we believe in you!

p.s I also want to point out that just because you tell her you are depressed doesn't necessarily get you diagnosed (even though you most likely will). And getting diagnosed doesn't necessarily give you meds...escpecially if you don't want them. So take one step at the time.

Maybe next time you can tell her Fox. Keep working up the courage. I think this will be important for you to do, really.
