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.
So basically, I've fallen into a really deep depression after losing my father. I don't know how to get myself out of it. I mean I am on Zoloft and I talk to about 3 people (1 in school and 2 out of school) but i feel like NOTHING is helping me and i'm getting worse and worse. I'm not going to be able to help myself if i make myself worse. And i want to get better but i just think i CANT get better. Its too much of a struggle. I dont know how to do it and if i even can do it. Anyone else out there?
I think I'm understanding the loss of your father has triggered this
bout of depression?
If so, have you considered talking to the folks at your local Hospice org??
They were very helpful to me when I'd lost my only sibling 7 yrs. ago.
They weren't around back when I'd lost my 5 mo. old son or my own dear father and my "mother".
If you are interested, they should be listed in your local phone book or you can find them online.
There's also a bereavement group here on DS:

You can get better, even if you can't see it right now, it takes time
though, this kind of pain takes how ever long it takes to work through, with help though, the journey can at the least, be easier.
I'm so sorry if I misunderstood the cause of your depression....
