Always putting it off.

"Oh I'll be fine. I'll shake it off."

I made an appointment Friday to go to counseling.

I did it.

I have my first, um, is it a visit? appointment? session? well, whatever it is, I have one Wednesday.

I thought I would be relieved after I scheduled it, after I finally took the step to get help. All I did was start to cry uncontrollably and then call my Mom.

I asked her if I was too young to have depression, if maybe it's impossible. It's not.

She was diagnosed at my age.
