Yesterday I almost broke down and my chuch infront of the pastor. Don't get me, my pastor and I are very good friends, no just I am a member of the church. I have become very close with the pastor and his wife. But, lately, I have pushed him so far away. He even said he doesn't know why I won't come to him and let him help me, even if it is just letting me get my feelings out.
As a few others hinted at... this person sounds like an ideal one to try to be open with. What would happen if you broke down infront of the pastor? This person could help you, pastors are often very centred around helping people just by their job description and it sounds like you're friends as well! It's never easy to talk but this really might help you.

Believe it or not every word of your post makes sense to me. I've been in very similar places in every respect. It's HARD to reach out to people when depressed. But please try. Also keep in mind that it CAN get better. I've been in that place were I truly believed that it could NEVER get better - this lasted a long time. And now here I am... in a much brighter spot. Hang in there
