I'm glad that you were able to find support. I don't know how is the deal there - is CBT something you could get through insurance or National Health, or was it something that you had to pay from your own pocket?
As @krystel said, "The biggest issues with mental health, is knowing there is a problem but not knowing what to do or where to focus your energies". I can imagine, if upon that, you would also have to pay lots of money, a lot of people would not be able to afford that, and unfortunately, might hide as well so they avoid the responsibilities of going to therapy. Of course, therapy is not the only option. It's great that you are generating a discussion. For me, during my depression, at times talking to a stranger felt much better than talking to anyone I knew.
