>to be the best thing he could have done. All of a sudden I found out people I had been seeing for years also suffer from some form of depression. It did change my life as I know it. It gave me hope. I started really trying to get my emotions under control.
Despite all my fear of mortification, I have also wondered if my family finding out could be a blessing in disguise. I think it would be really embarrassing and shameful for me, but I think that they probably would support me and maybe ever respect me for really trying to get help. And, they would finally understand (not that I have tried very hard to get them to) how bad off I really am. It would really change the family dynamics, really get things into the open instead of shoved under the carpet. And heaven knows I am not the only one with problems (both of my sisters are in therapy and on medication). Just maybe the most severe/life-threatening problems!
