Depression

I've been very depressed lately.  My health problems, my mom's, financial trouble, family trouble.. the world can be such a lonely place. not being here seems like the only way to get relief.  i don't know how much more of this i can take.

Certainly would agree with those who seek help.

However, you put a lot of big problems together, and I think its more effective to do the opposite. Start doing little things to address part of each problem; building a house is a big job but it gets done one room at a time.

So with financial for example, consider new jobs, saving money on credit cards, or other resources. Good luck and one block at a time. Post something about each issue here, and hopefully people can help provide some suggestions to make it better. .

thanks for the list of resources cat and i really like how you said to break it down in smaller parts Bobby.
Great idea. I am feeling less bad right now. It comes and goes a lot, sometimes in the space of minutes or hours. My emotions are very changeable. I'm resting today, maybe try to get some business stuff done. I'm starting to work on getting a part time job. any ideas welcome.

Thank you for your replies and your kindness.
