I won’t use my real name on here so I’ll ask if anyone could refer to me as John.

I have been depressed for years on and off, but it’s come back recently due to grief. I’m not sure how to go about this because I cannot afford a therapist, I have been doing journaling to help but I also wanted advice from people who are also struggling, or used to. I also don’t know how this works because I joined to have some support group, idk if there’s a specific section for that. If anyone could give me some advice I’d appreciate that.

Welcome John. I’m sorry you’re suffering from grief. Grief can be such a painful experience. I too find grief exacerbates my depression. Journaling is a great start. There are also some good resources here on 7cups as far groups and “Listeners”. There are plenty of people on here that can understand and care for you. I personally have started meditating and breathing exercises through DBT.
