I've had depression for a long time now, about 6 years. Just last year I was at breaking point and almost tried to kill myself. Later on I met my boyfriend and I've opened up to him about everything, including my depression. He does help me, but he and I both know it's not enough as I keep falling back into darkness whenever I feel happy about something. So my boyfriend keeps telling me that I need to see a psychologist. Should I go? I'm really scared to open up in front of a stranger :\
I think that support is a good idea. A good psychologist wont feel like a stranger for long. Having a place to turn during the darkest of times can make all the difference. It is so important when depression hits that you have someone who can help you keep the darkness at bay.
