How can I overcome guilt & depression?

[Anonymous]

I've been depressed on and off since I was 15. I did self harm but found that to be pointless and hard to hide. Lately I've been seriously ending everything and how I could do it but I really just want help.. I take anti depressants but they don't seem to be working. I get really bad when I feel bad about something, such as secretly seeing a guy. I'm religious so that's not how it's supposed to work and I have a pretty strong conscience which cause me great distress.. I feel so weak and pathetic, I don't know what else I can possibly do to try and overcome this and actually want to live..

Talk to your doctor about changing your dosage or medication. I also have depression and I don't have an answer about how to overcome it.

I don't want to get between you and your faith but I God loves unconditionally. They wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

There's a lot of advice about how to reduce your symptoms of depression but all of those require energy that I know for sure. Go do something you like to do.

I tried a psychologist, but I felt extremely uncomfortable..
