I don't know what to do. This depression has got a real hold on me. I am ready to give up on the world right now. My life is killing me. Ive lost my uncle, my daughter and now i might loose my partner. I don't know what to do. I don't know if i can take much more pain and hurt. Please tell me how to go on and get through all this stuff and start living again.

Getting too much emotional and worrying negative things are main leads for depression

I know depression is very hard to deal with. You must feel like you are caring the weight of the world on your shoulders and the pain in your heart won't go away. Every day is worse than before and there are times you would do anything to get rid of the pain. You probably feel like there is no solution and things will never get better. I have been there.
First of all, it is a a great step that you asked for help. It is the first step toward recovery. I don't know if it's a possibility, but if it is, by all means, look for a therapist. Depression is a serious illness but the good news is that 95% of people with depression that go to therapy are able to overcome it.
Get out of the house. I know you feel tired and in no mood to get out, but it is the best thing you can do. Try getting out of the house for a walk or anything you can do, even if it takes a huge effort. I know its hard, but it will help.
Be very careful about watching TV. News are the worst, they can depress even a person that is genuinely an optimistic. If you want to watch TV, try to watch comedy shows or comedy movies. Do no listen to sad music. I know you feel like it's the only thing that fits your mood, but stay away from it.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. It is hard for me to tell you what to do other than to look forward and try to make a plan for yourself or a goal to make your life better. I would spend alot of time to make sure happiness comes to your life somehow. I wish you the best of luck with it. Hard work and a goal helps me get through alot of hard times. It sure isn't easy but you will eventually find happiness.

suegt,
I think SomeCowgirl's suggestion was the best yet. That you have even reached out to ask how to handle the depression is a step in the right direction. You realized that this is not the way that you want to be.
Sometimes even writing about how you feel is a way to sort things out for yourself. Talking is another way. Maybe if you talk about it with your partner you'd find out that a lot of the feelings that you are having that are the same for your partner. Don't feel as if you want to spare your partner any further stress. You'd be surprised how much burden will be lifted off both of your shoulder's
I wish you peace.

Hi suegt. I'm so sorry to hear it from you. Life can be very cruel sometimes and hurt us so much. But we can support much more pain that we can mind, believe me. Take a professional help and go on with your life. Remember that the following day may bring good things.
All the best for you.

Depression is not something to take lightly! I have battled with it for many years now. At first I could not even drive without having a panic attack, I was afraid to be alone but I always spent time alone in my room which just added to my sickness, I was on all kinds of medications and nothing seemed to work. After more than 20 years of depression my metal and physical health has rolled down hill and now I am paying for it. One day I just took hold of myself, faced what the problems were (still am fighting by the way) made myself get out of my room and I try to enjoy the things that I do have, (my son's and grand children) I don't have my love but my boys and my little angel babies are my heart now.. I do drift off still on occasion and like to steal away to my room but mostly because I don't feel good. (thats the physical part)
Remember everyone handles this disease in their own way and in many different ways. You must search within to find your strength or face the fact that you may need professional help (another route I took on many occasions) don't sit and wait until it gets out of hand!! I am sorry for your pain please take care and keep in touch.

Please don't give up, those are challenges that comes in your life, dont lose hope and stand up and deal with these things. Ask yourself why had your uncle and daughter left you. Reflect and ask yourself what's wrong with you. Better talk to a guidance councilor or psychologist to help you with that.

Oh lovely. It will not always be this way or feel like this. You are having a really bad patch at the moment but things will find a way of working out. You need to go and talk this out with a counsellor who will be able to work through all of these things with you and help you to see that there are choices and possibilities at your feet that you can take. You are stronger than you think and have come through so much already. With a little help you will be able to sort through your situation.Heck we all need a little help when we hit a rough patch - so go and get it - you will instantly feel more in control.
Blessings.

i dont know if your religious or not , but ill give you some of my insights to think about . losing a loved one is never easy and i offer my sincere condolences to you . but did we really lose them ? no , theyre there , in your heart , your mind your thoughts . i can suggest grief counseling , your clergy etc.. but in time your wounds will heal and make you stronger to a degree . everything thats born has to depart at some time , therefore we must cherish every moment we can because , life is short . they say that Christ wont give you a cross heavier than you can bear , sometimes i dispute that , but rest asure better days will come , really find an outlet , keep busy and dont be afraid to talk about or to your loved ones .they may leave this earth but they dont really leave you unless you allow it . i hope you find some comfort here and God be with you and again my sincerest condolences

I think that you should call a hotline and talk to someone over the phone and maybe even have someone come out and talk to you, or you go to them. I know that everything appears to be really bad right now, and I know that while I might not know everything, I do know that you should try to get some help and talk to someone about the way you are feeling. It's not good to keep things bottled up inside of you.
I hope for the best for you.
