I'm new to depression, or maybe its been going for a while but I just thought everyones like this. Lately it has turned me to someone i'm not, and i dont know how to make it stop! Im just sick of my own fate if that makes any sense, everytime it seems like it might be getting better it just gets worse, I need someone to talk to but when i find someone to talk to they dont seem to understand what im saying! Ive been told that i was different my whole life but lately its annoying! I just wanna be like everyone else, think like everyone, deal like everyone! I dont wanna be stuck like this

It can be hard to get started but it gets easier the more you talk.
I hope you will let the group know how it goes. We are here to support you.

Your Therapists office should be a safe place, a judgement-free zone. This is a relationship built on trust and understanding. It can take a couple to find the right ones. You should never feel judged by a Therapist, they might question you, bring up past issues to see how you dealt with them, but there shouldn't be judgement.

I hope you find a Therapist that can help you get a handle on things.
