I should tell you that I've been fighting depression for years now by sheer luck. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm so lost.
For real? What have you been doing to address it so far?
For the most part I just deal, but sometimes I tell jokes about it, like playing off my suicidal thoughts and stuff.
Trying to deal with your depression on your own is admirable but avoiding getting professional help when you are still lost and confused is not being responsible. Seek out a therapist who can treat your depression and help you get well.
Maybe. How long does it take for a therapy process to be over.
It really depends on how long it takes to start doing better. There is no timeline on treating depression as a whole, but you should find someone who you feel comfortable talking to. Getting help is the first step in getting better and there shouldn't be a time limit on that.
