It’s Time to Get Some Help

Due to increased symptoms of depression and anxiety in recent weeks, I’ve decided to try out a combination of counseling and medication.

Sure, I’ve still been able to get out of bed in the morning. And I wasn’t having any serious thoughts about hurting myself. But still, I was feeling hopeless and trapped often enough that I decided it was time to seek out help.

I know, I know. That’s pretty personal for a blog post for the whole internet to read!

However, as I see it, I’m writing it out here for two reasons:

  1. To commit publicly to seeking out counseling now that I’ve started my first try of medication.
  2. In case anyone else out there, currently experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, etc., needs a nudge to seek out help sooner rather than later.

If #2 above refers to you, please know that you’re not alone! Please don’t let pride or anything else get in the way of receiving the help that you need.
