I know that when you have difficult situations (like job loss), it seems the depression will never get better. However, I have major depressive disorder and my depression fluctuates from one extreme to another. Are you seeing someone who can help you through this? With the help of medication and therapy many people do recover. It's very important that you are sharing how you're feeling. You will get support and suggestions on here but it is not the same as a therapist. I have had good ones and bad ones. The good ones will help you open up about the issues that are bothering you and help you find solutions. They will not give you answers to your problems but they can help YOU find alternatives. I wish you the best of luck!!
