The key to not being sent to rehab is
seeking help yourself. By coming to this
forum you have started the process and i
commend you for that. The first steps are
the hardest and admitting to yourself you
have tis disease can not always be easy.
Firstly i would have you go see a Dr. They
will be able to do a mental health
assessment and determine the kind of
depression you have and what stage you
are currently in. They will also be able
to refer you to a specalist who can give
you the help you need. If you are still in
school you may be able to seek a
councellor or speak with someone you trust
such as a teacher.
Doing this for yourself is also the most
important thing. Letting yourself be
depressed is far to easy. Find the methods
that works for you and you will not
believe the difference it will make. It
may not seem like it now but there is
light at the end of the tunnel. Just a
matter of letting youself find it.
Remember you have control of this and we
are all stronger than we give ourselves
credit for.
