Finally did it!
- Length of Use: Less than 3 months
Overall Experience:

I have spent the last year going through the process of starting a profile on BetterHelp and never actually following through to get help. I've been dealing with my major depression for longer than I like to admit. I finally broke down and reached out all the way. I was still very hesitant and scared to seek help. I had to force myself to continue through the process of actually seeking help for my depression because it was getting to a debilitating state. Affecting work, life, relationships, everything...I just kept telling myself "I cannot do this on my own. I cannot keep living like this. I need help". My therapist and I are making better progress than I thought would happen. I'm excited to see how much better things will get, I'm in this for the long term results.

I do wish the sessions were a little longer. It's like things start rolling and you're opening up and there's progress being made, but then you hit your 30 minutes and have to wait until next session to hopefully make more progress.
Pros and Cons:
- It's on my time, I can send my therapist a message of my moods and thoughts as I have episodes
- I can do all of this from the comfort of my car, bed, couch, anywhere I feel comfortable it
- I'm not having to make an appointment, try to remember it, hope I can make it with life throwing crazy stuff at me
- No trying to remember all the things that happened that week that I wanted to discuss during the session before the end of the session
- The therapist seem to truly care about you as a client, they are focus on finding out what's really going on and effectively
- Wish the sessions were a little longer
- There are times I wish there was a questionnaire in regards to the mental illness and severity, it might help some people
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
