in about 2 weeks i will be checking into a treatment facility for major depression. if i am being honest i'm scared and i'm sort of confused on how to feel about going. i'm hopeful that i'll receive some sort of help and knowledge about my situation. i'll be there for a month and i truly intend on putting myself out there to get the help i desperately need.

You have a good attitude. I have done it and was amazed at what I learned. Best investment I made
Good luck.

I can't find any treatment centers in Texas. Either they are private pay, or if they take insurance it's alot of front. I am not suicidal, and that's when they turn you down too. Where are these places? Goodluck in your treatment

I am proud of you. Better being with the professionals that know sometimes rather than being home alone.
Peace

I think it's only natural to feel a little scared and that is okay. As Zoe mentioned you are going there with a great attitude which will help in your recovery. Good Luck

I spent some time inpatient and I really committed myself to learning as much as I could...it was the best thing I ever did and a real turning point for me. It sounds like you are going into this with a great mindset. I feel confident that you will have a positive experience. Wishing you all the best!

    Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

    Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom.  Ugh it sucks.  I wish this pain would leave me already.
