Depression - General Discussion Forum

Sorry for such a downer thread when every other topic on this forum seems to be positive. But I feel like I need to vent, maybe someone on here will understand what I'm going through. I just wondered if anyone else has gone through a bout of depression in their lives and how they coped with it. I've been depressed for over four months now after the break up of a nearly five year relationship of which my partner was living with me at the time. It really hit me hard, as we always talked about moving out and marrying one day, there was no sign of it ending, then one day she just decided to end it and said she didn't love me anymore. I've been getting help both through anti-depressants and talking to a specialist team who deal with depression at my local hospital, but nothing seems to be helping. I've fell out with the majority of my mates, due to my former best friend, flirting with my ex after we broke up and even suggested they sleep together several times. After falling out with him, he managed to somehow turn the rest of that group of mates against me. Now the only mates I have left are always busy with work or university so our schedules always clash so we can never hang out at all. What's worse is that my ex, who I still can't get over and am very much in love with, was diagnosed with a serious genetic condition a few years ago and actually had to have open heart surgery the other week. She survived and is doing well, all I feel like doing is going to see her. Now she's cut me off completely, even worse her current boyfriend has proposed to her and she said yes. She's got over me in four months like I was nothing to her. I've never really got on with my family so I don't feel happy at home either, I've also recently been promoted at work to a supervisor, which is putting an enormous amount of pressure for me due to how I feel mentally. I've tried to commit suicide three times, failing completely the first two times but came close during the third. I just feel completely helpless, I've been told by friends and doctors that things will feel better overtime, but things just keep getting worse and not improving. My whole life has been turned upside down, I really can't take much anymore. Sorry once again for the negative thread, but I feel like I can't talk to anyone I know in person and just wondered if anyone has any advice or experiences dealing with depression.

Hmm... now that I think about it, I can actually understand a bit how you feel... although I've never had depression, I do have a terrible problem with anxiety. Maybe not quite as bad as being depressed, I've fought anxiety for my entire life... it ends up holding me back quite a bit sometimes.

Sorry to end this, but a forum is not the place to discuss medical ailments. The best thing you can do is seek a counselor, doctor or psychiatrist and get better expert advice from them.
