Ok, how can I help? What seems to be the problem? Oh, dear, 100 character minimum. Not Met just Yet!
Recognising that you feel like you need people around you to support you through something like this is the first step to recovery! :) Depression can feel very lonely but the lovely listeners on 7cups and the professionals too are there to engage with you to make it a little easier. We've all been through ups and downs in our lives and it can be so difficult, so please know you're not alone! Sometimes the only thing that can significantly improve these feelings you're having is medication, prescribed by a counsellor or therapist, so it might be worth going to see a professional so they can improve your life that way. Just talking to someone can also improve how you feel and maybe get a load off your chest also because it is so hard to overcome without support, so we're here for you! :) Once you talk to someone and discuss why you think that you're feeling this way, we can learn how to face it and learn coping mechanisms to trudge through the rough points and smile at the end of the day :D
