This one is as real and raw as it gets my friend, so get ready. I'm opening up about my journey with depression, how it brought me to the end of my rope, and how therapy turned my life around and gave me hope. If you need help, please ask for it. My fear of failure and how it would look to the outside world if I ended up in therapy made me suffer for years. Don't do that to yourself. Find the help you need and ask. You will find resources below.
