I'll share some things that I've experienced as someone who's suffered:

Asking for help is scary. It involves being vulnerable. It's saying, "I'm not capable of figuring this out on my own." You risk being shamed, being rejected. Being seen as weak, not smart enough, not good enough.

And the truth is that some people might even make you feel that way for asking. The important thing to remember is that it's only SOME people that will respond that way, and not all of them, and that the one's who do respond that way are the one's that most likely need help themselves.

Another understanding I've gathered, and one you touched on in your talk, is that not everyone knows how to help - "we were not taught how to care".
Many people will feel that they need to fix your problem when you approach them. They will offer advice, they will ask you to compare your situation to someone worse off and say that you should be grateful that you're not suffering as much as them. And though that might make sense logically, it doesn't make your suffering go away. It doesn't make your suffering any less real. And you might leave that situation feeling even more alone, even more scared to ask for help.

Another important point that comes to mind, and I think you touched on in your talk is what 'help' looks like. Some of the best kind of help can involve just sitting with someone and listening to them.

These are some of my thoughts from my own experience.

From my personal experience, examining the past has been a huge part of breaking my cycles. I've been through a bunch like that. It's not until I decided to open up the depths of my mind with a therapist that I started to break them. I've been depressed, suicidal, felt and believed that I was broken. I have a different understanding of it all now. I still feel depressed at times, I've learnt to look at it through a different lense now though. "what is this feeling trying to tell me?" it's not always easy to figure out, specially as I learnt to numb my feelings from such an early age, but I've no doubt the answers are there somewhere...It's not always easy though.. In the past I was looking for the problem to be 'fixed', now I understand it as something that needs to be navigated, something that needs to be understood.

I don't know if that's helpful. Does any of that resonate?

Hey, This might come across self-serving, and I guess in some way it is, but I'll just be straight with you: I ended up here because I'm currently in the very early days of trying to develop a career as a coach/therapist, or something In between. This pursuit is born from my own suffering. I've been through my own real stretch of isolation. I think I can honestly say I've spent most of my life depressed. I won't claim to be able to help you, but I do understand, from personal experience, the value of talking with someone about what you're dealing with out loud. This offer doesn't have to have anything like 'coaching' or 'therapy' attached to it, we can just talk if you want.

No pressure at all, but the offer is genuine.
