When You First Started Therapy (Psychiatry) & You Told Someone, How Did They React?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

For me when I said something to 1 of my Family members (Aunt) I thought πŸ€” that she wouldn't say anything, but she did & + she was against it cause she's a Christian & believe that you should trust & talk to God (Believe).

I think we should take everything to God in Prayer but know it's not always easy the other day I sent a family member a message and my family weren't talking to me over it I went to grab somethings and know I shouldn't of went alone I got so angry and was so annoyed with myself I prayed to God in the evening, it helps to have a person that isn't family or friend to speak to as I have a aunt that was good and helped me but didn't want to hear everything as understandably they didn't want to get involved as it's the same with friends they want to make sure we are ok so it helps to go to therapy to understand what we are going through and get things off our chest

@A MyDepressionTeam Member I was over 55 before I found the therapist that I felt comfortable telling all of my life stories to ( if you read my story you will see) and then I decided to tell my husband and older brother and discuss with my sister because she had it happen to her at same time, well it broke my family in to and it is still broken but it helped me which that was what I needed.
You are trying to get better and move on and have a happier and healthier YOU so do what needs to be done or said and love yourself and trust in your therapist/psychiatrist to help you make it.
Hugs and never give up and we are here for you
