Close Depression

Treatments

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

The first therapist I saw I found very helpful, then I had a break and I've been seeing this one for a year and a half. I find it a struggle though and I am more miserable now than ever.

Writing Too Soon to Tell

I have started this recently. Sometimes it feels helpful to get it out, other times I feel I'm driving myself mad going round and round with my own thoughts. Really shows up the negative thinking though.

Close Breakups & Divorce

I can't seem to get better. When my husband and I split up in 2005 I lost everything - a whole family, community and way of life. I have had to rebuild from scratch and although I have achieved many things I am stuck. I am always sad. I haven't had a real relationship since (I have been sort of having an affair which makes me feel worthless but at the same time is my only spark of happiness) and I feel I will never be part of a family again or have children.

Treatments

Pets Somewhat Helpful

Helps to have something else alive around and sometimes the affection is nice but no substitute for a real person.

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

Not sure if it's working. Tried it for 10 months initially and found it helpful, then went back after a break but had to go to a different therapist and I really struggle with this one. I don't know if it's helping and I am more miserable than ever.

Time Not Working

Always sad
