Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
A condition for which it is better to seek professional help. CBT helped me, alongside my zen practice. The tl;dr of that is: Our thoughts are not facts. But our thoughts influence how we feel. All to often we act on those feelings, in ways that are not helpful to us. But while suffering remember, these feelings shall pass. I wish you well on the road to recovery. Depression is a bitch.
Another soul answered...
Some people benefit from professional help. Other get by with a little help from their friends. If you really want to help yourself, I suggest you explore all options without prejudice until you find what works. But at the end of the day, you must want to help yourself badly enough to see it through.
