Ella, your
not a failure. It takes so much courage to actually
arrange an appointment to go and see your doctor about something as difficult to talk about such as depression. It's even harder to find the courage actually
go the the doctors itself. Let me tell you this though: you
do deserve some help with this, you deserve to be listened to and you
can be happy again. When I went to my doctors about my depression and I waiting in the waiting area, I nearly walked out because I didn't know what to expect and was so scared. I found out it's not as bad as you might think. I wrote a note to my doctor, also. I wrote how I was feeling, how long I've been feeling depressed, how it started and my symptoms. The more information you can include in the note, the better, as the doctor will have a better understanding of your situation then and will be able to help more. But just write down what your comfortable with.
I'm always here if you need to talk. Feel free to
PM me any time.
Take care.
