Depressed

(copied from my intro post)

Hi everyone,
My name's Buddy, a 42 year old male.

I've been really depressed the last several months. There have been several triggers:
- Was laid off from my job last August. Am currently working part-time and getting partial unemployment.
- My mother died last November.
- My siblings have pretty much gone their own way. My brother, who I was very close to, moved to another city at the insistence of his wife (who I hate).
- Am having financial problems and will probably have to file bankruptcy.
- I'm in love with someone who lives halfway across the country, who has more or less frozen me out lately.

So, yeah. It's just a lot of stuff.

Hi , I just wanted to you to PC. Sorry all this is happening to you. I'm looking forward to seeing you around.

Glad to welcome you here, cowboybud! This is the place to come when you need to vent, ask questions and get to know other posters. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Keep the faith.

I agree with you, it does sound like a lot of stuff! I'm sorry for all the difficult things you've gone through and are going through still. You've made it this far through it, and I know you can carry on getting through it... you'll come out the other end eventually.
I wish you luck with all those issues, and welcome to the forums x

You should look into getting a good therapist to help you out of this funk if you can afford it.

This is a really good place to get everything out. I'm discovering that writing here, and getting encouraging words from others is helpful. I've also started blogging, and that seems so much more helpful than I thought. I'm learning about myself, and my feelings, just writing it down is getting it out of my head. I don't seem to be dwelling on it quite as much.
You can start a blog here, go for it!
