I've had depression for more than half of my life. Like everyone I go through ups and downs. I don't go "up" very high but when I go "down" it's really low. I'm definitely going down right now. It's getting harder every day. I feel like crying almost all of the time. It's difficult to "hold it together" when I'm at work. I've been doing the fake it til you make it method but that's not going to last much longer. I don't see my therapist until Wednesday. What can I do? I'm worried...

I often say the same, but the one thing that gets me through it is hope, hope that my life will get better, sometimes it does and sometimes it seems to get worse, but I live for the good.
What I do to get by until I get to see someone like my psychiatrist is write it all down, listen to my favourite inspirational music to help me cope till I see the professionals, something that keeps me in a good mood and makes me forget at least for a while about my problems.

I read spiritual books, my own is Buddhist, but there are others who would do better to read Christian or whatever religion speaks to you, I also meditate and let things go, because often that's all we can do is relax our body and mind and let things go,

I go to bed as early as I can get away with, and cry half the night. It wears me out, but releases huge amounts of negativity and despair.

The world is always fresher after rain.
