Hello and thank you for being willing to at least read what is going on with me..... I am on meds, seeing a therapist, talk to a crisis counselor often, have a psychiatrist, and often chat on the chat thing here..... But I am still struggling. The things about me that I am depressed about are facts and I feel powerless like I can't change them.... What do I do to dig my way out of depression?? How do I win this war?? Can someone please give me some useful advice to pull me out of this dark place. People say nice things and I am temporarily happy but the negative self talk in my head that I can't seem to change always wins out. I am completely distraught.... Maybe even any self help books that helped you that you'd recommend? I am willing to try anything!!!!
