    Told that going to hospital will help me, as they can change my medication etc. But I have 4 kids and a shift worker husband, not alot of support from my family. To me going to hospital is saying you are mental, and I will always have that branded against me. I really think things will not get any better. Have been and still seeing psychologist, and psychiatrist. Still think im a burden on my kids and husband. Im not the parent I use to be. Everything I do is never good enough. I HATE ME!

    I too am worried about needing to go to hospital (in my view this would mean I was officially Mentally Ill). I may not have to, but I will be guided by my (very good) psychiatrist. Yes I know it would probably help, meds, group therapy etc. Sensible attitude, but I feel quite fearful in my heart. I don't really need a “holiday” as I am retired and could please myself (eg hobbies, trips) anyway. So what can I possibly depressed about??? But I still am…
