Sometimes I'm so depressed, other times I'm okay. My lows are low but my highs aren't that high so I don't think I'm bipolar, I just have to get to a doctor so I can stop worrying about it. But it's not that easy for me to get help, to admit to everyone that I've failed and there's no way I can keep it a secret. i almost gave in the other day but I chickened out. I need some motivation, I lack it lately.

Seeking help does not make you a failure, it is accomplishing a lot to reach out for others. It was very hard for me to make that first phone call, I struggled for weeks just staring at the phone book knowing I should call. Finally I just dialed the number and suffered through the call, afterwards I felt a lot better knowing that I had taken the first step and I will say I have found that reaching out in my case was very worthwhile.

I understand how you feel. I want so badly to go to the hospital and get help. But all my co-workers will see me and make fun of me. I also feel like wow thats not another bill I need right now. So I feel so stuck.
Thanks for this!
