Hey guys, I think I am depressed. I really haven’t been feeling well lately. But at the same time, I don’t know if it’s my brain that is trying to come up with something, you know, just to feel ”special”. And, I am afraid of going to a psychologist. I want to be able to solve this problem by myself, as I always have done, and I also don’t want my family involved in this mess.

Most of us want to keep family and professional’s out of this problem, but if you choose not too, we are all here to support and give advice to each other.
I go in and out of depression for days or weeks at a time because of my mood disorder. Other times I’m either somewhat manic or neutral (or “normal”). My therapist recommended that I should try taking several 15-30 minute walks throughout the day when I’m feeling depressed. Getting a good dose of sunshine/vitamin D helped alot during those low moods.
Not sure how the weather is where you are. But here in CA, I take walks along the beach and at neighborhood parks. I’ll even stop by a dog park to watch the dogs and puppies play that always makes me feel better.
