Depression and seeking help

Seeing a therapist/psychologist can be expensive, so I try to deal with depression/sadness on my own.

That's probably the best idea.
But what if it's not bearable? What would you do?

I probably read a self-help book and watch videos on dealing with depression before I decide to spend money on a therapist/psychologist. There is always a chance that someone hires a bad therapist who is just interested in scamming customer a lot of money which users can't afford.
 
I throw on some video games/anime and get over it, but that's just me. Everyone else should seek professional help.

That's right.
I usually check their ratings before making an appointment. These days though I have lost interest

I'm afraid some of the ratings maybe written by the therapist who use a different user name, and paid reviewers who got paid to write a positive review on the therapist.

There is also a chance some therapist can give out bad advice which make the patient more sad, or the therapist advice takes many years to make his patients less depressed.

That's a possibility.
I never thought they would stoop so low but then again, everyone is changing …..
 
Yes, I seek help when I'm feeling like that. No one should feel like this. Usually I talk it out with my sister due to work stressors, or just talk to a counselor at my work. Basically vent it out. I end up feeling better. There is strength in seeking help
 
I just bottle it all up until I can't take it and then cry out all the emotions. Then I can start anew. I would seek help for it, but I'm trying to forget all the bad stuff that happened in the past, not dig it up just to tell someone I pay to half listen and then feel worse because I remember all the pain I felt while the bad things were happening.
