Depression is something I battle nearly everyday, the only thing that keeps me from going over the edge is my family and brother/dog that depend on me. It's gotten me this far but I fear one day it won't be enough. Just came here to see if anyone has a similar situation? Is it something that I can hold onto to keep me from being too overwhelmed with my feelings of self hate? I wouldn't want them to be negatively affected by a selfish decision of mine.... 
Maybe my next step is therapy but I'm worried about bad experiences I've heard from others
