When you are depressed do you talk to friends or family about it? Do you have a special friend or family member who will be there for you? Or do you hide it from everybody? Do you pretend like everything is fine when it's not? I tend to hide things from everybody. The only person that can even tell when there is something wrong with me is my youngest brother. Right now I'm going through hell because I'm so depressed. I hate going to the hospital even though I know that is probably what I need to do. The problem is I have bills coming up and I'm the only one who can pay them. I just don't know what to do. I feel so lost. I feel so sad....I cry at the drop of a hat...I think about death and dying all the all the time... what really makes things bad is that I'm a Christian and I feel like I'm not doing something right. I know it's a chemical imbalance but am sinning so I can't get any better? Being bipolar really doesn't help matters out. I feel like I can't get my mind straightened out. Maybe I'd be better if they'd lock me up. I just don't know. Am I going crazy? Or what?

I think you definitely need some help here.please donot be ashamed of seeking help.I suffered post natal depression and realised t only when I came out of it.I never thought that I will be happy again after my first one was born.i used to cry too,always regret that i did not achieve anything for myself, and that I am just a servant tied to a family to do all the work.You understandably have a lot of pressures on you,and financial pressure is a hard one.please donot be discouraged.But do get help.as you sid that it is a chemical imbalance,so you should not feel ashamed to take medicines,afterall,they will give youu your life and mental peace back.what is worth more than that?do take a short break if you can.or else,just go for a long walk in a park,breathe in the fresh air,that will calm your nerves ,then you should think about getting help becaise depression is like quicksnd,it just drags you deeper into itself unless you make a concious effort to come out of it.goodluck!
