So I clicked on the "therapytribe" link and began reading what its about and now I’m frustrated.  Just because someone hasn’t been professionally diagnosed or is seeking treatment, doesn’t mean they should be made to feel guilty about not getting help. It’s not like they advertise how therapy doesn’t work for everyone or all the negative side effects people experience from treatment.

All mental health crap is based on the DSM4… which is based on generalized descriptions of people with similar thoughts, feelings and behaviour. 

I’m a psychology major but I don’t find it contradicting that I refuse to talk to a "professional" about how I feel.  That’s a personal choice.  Life isn’t written based on a book of rules in which everything that goes "wrong" (whatever you define that as) needs to be fixed.

I’ve found comfort in my depression, but I’ve also learned to cope with the good days and the bad.  It took me some time to reflect on my inner self and make time to focus on myself in order to change the way I think.  I’m not perfect, and I do relapse, but I’ve accepted that that is okay.  I’ve learned what I am capable of, and what I have no control over.  Through experience I’ve gained knowledge on how to deal with what work’s best for me. 

Recently I’ve accepted the fact that life doesn’t always go the way we planned. 

I don’t mind sharing my experience with others so they don’t feel alone and can have someone to reason with.

Yes, I’ve considered talking  to a "professional", but I just don’t think that it will happen, not anytime soon anyways…  It just really frustrates me.
