I told my partner I think I'm suffering from depression and he said I've just hit a rough patch. The problem is this rough patch has been going for close to two years. I feel sad and cry all the time, have isolated myself from the few friends I had, don't want to talk to my family anymore and get no pleasure from doing anything. I haven't held down a permanent job for this time because I get anxious when I go into jobs and can't handle any pressure. So I quit. I went to see a doctor and they said I was suffering 'the winter blues' I went to see a psychologist (I tried two) and neither of them were very helpful. I really am at my wits end. What is the next step from here? Has anyone faced similar hurdles when trying to get help and how did you overcome them?</P> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 05:02:55 GMT Isa_197 2016-08-02T05:02:55Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/just-about-had-enough/m-p/256064#M28210 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>I don't even know who to turn to anymore.

You will find so many different threads and topics here, plus a lot of information as well on depression.</P> <P>If I was in your shoes, I would phone the local Doctor surgery and ask the receptionist if she can recommend a Dr in the centre who is best able to help with a possible case of depression. Talk openly with the Dr about how you feel or write it down and pass on a list of feelings and thoughts to the Dr.</P> <P>Here at Beyond Blue, you can use the phone help line on 1300 22 4636. They may be able to help you find a Dr in your area who can assist you.</P> <P>I have used the phone help line and also the Chat Online service here at Beyond Blue. You can email as well.</P> <P>Sharing how you are feeling here is a great step to take as well. Hopefully other people will offer suggestions too.</P> <P>If I were you, I would make an appointment to see a different Dr. I would look at the resources available here and consider using one or all of the help services available through this site.</P> <P>You could also look up in your local phone book to see what assistance is available in your area under Mental Health.</P> <P>Hope some of this helps!</P> <P>Cheerio for now from Mrs. Dools</P> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 08:54:14 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/just-about-had-enough/m-p/256065#M28211 Doolhof 2016-08-02T08:54:14Z
