DEAR FURRIES, To update on my depression/anxiety/emotional problems-- I've made the call.
I'm seeking therapy. I -REALLY- did not want to have to do it but now that I have . . . I wouldn't say I'm excited(not enough feels for that) but I'm somewhat relieved I suppose? Talking to everyone I have today on the phone was nice. They LEGITIMATELY seemed to care and were genuinely worried for my well-being.
I have friends that have done the same(thanks guys. srsly.) but I guess it's been hard to accept since they are my friends? I guess I should expect they care BUT in saying that, believe me, I'm NOT attempting to take advantage of that at all.
The worst part has been, unfortunately, my mother. I love my mother with all my heart and she loves me. We have a relationship that is truly beautiful and hard to find BUT I think she may be having issues in understanding what's going on with me. Now in saying that, I'm fairly sure she understands a little better since seeing me at her friend's party having to hide behind a barn and fight bawling . . . and over what?
Because it was new. I LOVE trying new things . . . buttttt anxiety kicked in and went into BADDDD overdrive.
So yeah. Going to therapy on Thursday for an eval at 3pm. Hopefully, we can figure out if I just need more therapy, medication orrrrrr I don't know. A kick in the ass. We'll see.

It's really wonderful to hear you've made the big step!
Hearing from others, I know it can be a hard pill to swallow, but at the end it usually ends up helping.
Don't let this all beat ya up too bad, 'cause when push comes to shove, it will all work out in the end; just remember to tell yourself that when the going gets tough (it's something I do when life is hard for me).
