I am in depression. Because of family, life and ex boyfriend. I tried to commit suicide twice. What can I do?

[Anonymous]

Set a goal and write down small points to reach it and everytime you reach one you mark it.

Also whenever you aren't feeling well just say "happy" many many times inside your head.

[Asker]

I did it. Really. But still same

[Opinion Owner]

Then I would suggest you take a hormone test and check your levels. Cause that can affect depression a lot. Depression will tell you that you shouldn't do it cause then you wouldn't be the real you but its actually the opposite. Because Depression usually disturbs hormones

[Asker]

I had this too. I am ok, but I am still in depression

[Opinion Owner]

So your hormones are normal?

[Asker]

Yeah

[Opinion Owner]

Alright then. Are you healthy? Do you sleep 8 hours/night, eat healthy? Do you work out reguraly? Go outside? Meet friends?

[Asker]

O am really healthy about my body and I can go outside and meet friends. But my brain and inside, I am in depression

[Opinion Owner]

Then I suggest you see a therapest

[Asker]

Thank you

[BlueScorpio]

Seek help. There are suicide hotlines that you can talk to about your problem. I would also try some form of therapy session.

[Asker]

I have therapy every month

[RolandCuthbert]

Dear one, you have to figure out how to get some help. Why don't you try calling NAMI? Or join a meetup group?

[Asker]

I have therapy every month. But I am still same

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, I don't know the nature of your therapy. But it has to be a process of moving you to a better place. Have you been prescribed anti-depressants? Maybe you need someone to look at your medication.

[Asker]

I have medicine, but no working anymore. They changed every time, still same

[RolandCuthbert]

I just think you need better medical assistance. Have you tried changing doctors?

[Asker]

Yes, I changed. And this time, she is very professional. But I am in depression too

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, you have to keep working at it. There isn't a magic cure. You have to work at changing your thinking and your outlook.

I have been depressed too. But you have to climb out of that hole one step at a time. I would suggest meetup groups where you meet with other folks who are depressed. Because I think when you figure out how you can help other folks feel better, you will see how being around supportive people can lift your spirits.

[Asker]

I live in Turkey and I think we don't have like this groups. But I will try, thank you

[RolandCuthbert]

But you can meet up with folks online. I run discussion groups via Zoom. A virtual meeting with other like-minded folks is better than none at all.

[Asker]

Thank you

Fix the reasons your down, take a break from your family. Ignore your ex.

[Asker]

But how? I live with my family. I am not working and this is so hard because of pandemi. And I still miss my ex

[Adam1978]

Well get a job and get out the door. The pandemi can be ignored, it's over, its a common germ now and needs to be treated as one. You don't stay home afraid of getting a flue or a cold. You deal with it when it eventually happens.

[Asker]

This is not about me or scared. I am still searching a job for me. But no work in my country. And our government don't care about this

[Adam1978]

There is always work, you just need to be willing to go for the job that isn't as glamorous. Unless you live in country on the brink of collapse, in that case try to get out of the country. Look at the global work market.

[Asker]

I can't do this, because I don't have enough money

[Adam1978]

Well if you have the right background there is always companies willing to pay for relocation. So you don't always need to pay for a job abroad.

[Asker]

I have Bulgarian citizenship and I can go some countries for work. But if I don't have money, I can't go anywhere. And thank you so much for your answer

[Anonymous]

i understand. i hope you find some comfort today at least. i'd suggest setting up an appointment to see a therapist and get you back on the right track in your life.

[Asker]

I have therapy every month

[Aerolyn]

If you already haven't tried I would recommend to at least try therapy if it's an option for you.

[Asker]

I have therapy every month

Nothing is worth taking your life. What brings you happiness? Do you have friends to talk to or want to just talk it all out with someone?

[Asker]

I really don't know

[Havthrills]

Friends help a lot to talk to them. What really has got you down?

[Asker]

I have friends but I can't talk with them all day or all the time. My big problem is my family

[Havthrills]

Family can be an issue. It appears that some parts of the family like to make life hard for others. Or am I seeing this wrong?

[Asker]

This is true

[Havthrills]

I am sorry you're going through it. Nothing is worth taking your own life over though. You might have to do some fighting (emotionally or arguing or blocking) but you will come out the winner.

[Asker]

I hope

[Havthrills]

You will. Say that you will.

[Asker]

I don't know. But I hope I can do it

[Havthrills]

You will. Be confident. No one can be a better you.

[Asker]

Thank you so much
