Practical
People wait for a collapse so they will not feel fraudulent. Therapy is also for the ones who are still going to work. If sleep, mood, or relationships have been off for weeks, if you are using something to get through the evening, or if you keep asking this question, that is enough.
You do not need a diagnosis from the internet. One conversation can be a sorting: skills, a fuller assessment, or simply being heard. Online sessions make the first step smaller for many people.
If you are in immediate danger, that is not a ‘maybe therapy’ moment — use emergency help. For the rest of us, booking a first appointment is a practical experiment. You can decide after you have sat in the room, not before.
