I threw myself into raising my beautiful family 2 daughters and a son and husband for 22 years. Then my ex started messing aorund and my 6 year old son died in my arms after a long horrific metabolic illness. that was 4 years ago. I have so much anger in me, mistrust of people,prefer being alone, I feel people use you and no one is really interested in trying to help you. I am rock bottom.I was a stay at home mum, now I have been thrown out into the world alone to fend for myself, I am doing it and proving to myself, I can do it, but I work from home and get depressed often. One minute I am happy and all is well, then the next minute WHAM! I hit bottom again. I also suffer from the most incredible migraines for the past year, and Dr have put me on mild sleeping tablet and mild anti depressent. when do you reach a stage when you are happy to get up in the morning and start smiling and are happy insdie again. I am under so much stress just to support myself and my daughter of 22. how do others cope with depression
