Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Okay so here is a little background-
Sept 25 fired from a bad job that caused depression/suicidal thoughts
Sept 25 evening called aunt in Texas crying-told here I was moving there-now here
Dec 16 moved to San Antonio
Jan 17 got job, don't like it but I am trying to make it through, only work 35 hours a week
Living here with Aunt been stressfull
March 17-24 Had some money saved up, still living with aunt, was foolish took two cousins, like sons to me, to Colorado for vacation over spring break
Trip cost more than I thought and I can't seem to get a handle on my money again. Also I found out how neglected the boys are, there mother has not bought them shoes in a year, nor a dental visit in three years and the older, 13, may have to have two teeth removed. Paying gor shoes, teeth etc. So not only can't I make it by myself, I can't take on the extra. Totally stressed. The stress over the boys accepting me as a father and trying to handle the neglect, along with some bad anniversaries almost pushed me back into suicidal mode.
Have strong christian faith, better now with the boys but I feel like I am losing it. It has been five months, why the hell am I still struggling? I know I need to calm down, take one step at a time, but I can't! Any advice?

My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber.
My crops fell dead when the riverbed went dry.
My dog got squashed by a pickup truck.
My son ran away and got hooked on drugs.
My daughter's knocked up by the class of '85.
People say that life is good;
It don't seem good to me.
I'm lost without a paddle,
And I'm headed up shit creek.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.
The government dumps its toxic waste
Right on top of my mother's grave.
A team of experts say it won't do her no harm.
But my sheep went crazy and killed my mule.
I cut off my dick with a power tool
Fixin' the hole where the meteor hit the barn.
(And it hurt, too!)
People say that life is good,
But I just piss and moan.
I got one foot on a banana peel,
The other in the Twilight Zone.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS then you die.
Let me hear some "yee-hah"s out there!
I went to the store to buy some shells.
My gun went off and blew the owner to hell.
Now I'm sittin' here in jail, singin' this song.
And one guy wants to cut me with a knife.
Another guy wants me to be his wife.
Hey, I wish they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!
People say that life is good,
Give thanks for what you have.
When all you have is nothin',
Nothin' makes you glad.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.
I said, people say that life is fun,
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS
LIFE SUCKS, then you die
