I was doing good for about a year had a job and things seemed ok but I was just hiding from the truth and living in denial. About 5 months ago I started the downward spiral and even though I could see it coming I just stuck my head in the sand and ignored all the warning signs. I ended up losing my job, home, and now am on my sisters couch with no prospects.

Sorry for all your loss. I know it must be hard. Glad you are reaching out to PC.

Hello, Martek. I'm sorry for your recent losses.

Here's a perspective you need not accept. When you were doing well, that was part of the truth. You were not in denial, though the doing well was not the whole truth. The damaging depression you are experiencing is also part of the truth.

The question is: what's next? How can you, with help, roll back the damaging aspects/effects of depression? You may even need assistance trying to come up with potential answers to that question.

Wishing you renewed strength and vision...

Sorry about your situation. I hope that things get better.

I to was doing well for a period of time when all of a sudden things went downhill and fast, I lost my job and had no support till I got a new doctor and therapist. I then went on disability and I am slowly climb my way out but not without obstacles in my way.

I have been trying to get help but cannot find a cheap free therapist. I had the same problem last time and have been seriously thinking about checking myself into a hospital just for the therapy and meds. I've been in a bad way lately and I think I am at the point where I need some serious help. I'm not sure how much longer I can last and in my area there aren't many resources for help that I could find. It's amazing how few people see mental health problems as being "real", they just think you should snap out of it.
