Thank you! This is why I need help in coping with it. I am not clenically depressed. I have depression and I'm sure it's temporary. Well, to be honest I don't know. I'm adopted and when I was living with my birth mother I know she had depression but she also was an alcoholic drug addict. So I'm not sure if it was the addictions or if she was depressed and that was her way of coping.
I keep thinking to myself "My god there are people who are homeless, starving, beaten, and who knows what. People who are really depressed all the time and they can't help it. All yours stems from is lack of money and a failed carreer." Then I feel worse because I think I don't have the real right to feel so sad all the time. I know I KNOW, I over think.
My s/o asks what he can do to help. I don't know what to tell him. What can he do when even I don't know. CAN he help? Or is this something I need to do for myself?
