I've been depressed for so many years and we never really talk about it. She saw me at my worst many time but she always tried to make me laugh and to tell me that there is worse elsewhere, that's how she comforted me I guess. There are period of time where I manage to live normally and other one when I'm a mess and I'm in that position today. She told me that I need to go to therapy, and I don't want to, I'm 28 but I'm still not ready to go. I feel like I would never find someone who genuiely want to help I'm not saying that doctors aren't caring but I don't want to open up to anybody. That's why I'm against therapy. My mom is also depressive and she attended suicide once when I was young and me and my siblings and my dad  kept her from jumping off the balcony. My mom always tried to help me but she didn't know how to do, she always told me to go see  a psychologist too if I didn't want to end up like her. 

 Are there people here who did not want to go to therapy but who ended up doing it and who do not regret it ? Thank you.
