Hi A A, I've been there. About 3 weeks ago, leading up to Xmas and the holiday season I posted about what I was going through. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 2 years ago but realised I had suffered in silence most of my adult life to varying degrees. Since then I've been getting professional help while I'm still working through some issues.
Talking helps, whether it's here, with friends, or family, or with professionals. What I noticed about you post if that you're trying to get back on track. That's a good thing. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
You're not alone and I hope you feel better soon. Try to get out of the house and get a little exercise, even if you just start small. I find it helps.

Hi AA
Sorry to hear you depression has been bothering you for the last 5 years. It sounds like at the moment it has become worse, to the point it is crippling you and taking over your life. I just want to let you know feeling unworthy, crying, feeling hopeless and even suicidal thoughts are all normal (yet distressing) parts of depression. For depression sufferers they usually have these symptoms for over 2 weeks. It can last a few months of just two weeks. I know you can get out the other side of it, as cliche as this sounds it does get better. Trust me I have been there too (along with many other users). Have you seen your GP or talked to anyone about this? Although it is a scary step it is one that maybe necessary to your recovery. I took this step over 18months ago and I am so glad I did, I even wish I did it earlier. I was crippled with anxiety and depression and was struggling to work and study, but with the help of my team, family and friends I slowly started to get better. My moods got better and my symptoms reduced to the point that it stopped bother me. I know this can happen to you, but doing it with support would make your journey so much easier.
If you need someone to talk to know feel free to call the BB hotline on 1300224636, they are available all the time and you can talk about anything with them.
