I have lived with depression for over a decade now and I have always stood strong in the face of it. However, recently, I have been having more and more depressive episodes and friends and family are urging me to seek therapy as they don't believe I'm dealing with it anymore. I have always had a strange sense of pride at being able to stand tall in this battle, but I relented yesterday and agreed to visit my GP and ask to be referred to a therapist. However, since then, I have been beset with doubts about it. I have become anxious at the thought of seeing someone because it basically says that the depression has beaten me, that I'm not strong enough and that I failed. I regret agreeing to get help and feel I should just continue on as I have been. I know I am strong enough to do this. I have done it for a long, long time, and I want to keep fighting it alone. I can't let it win.
