Depression and purpose

Hello everyone on here. Hope everyone’s had a great weekend. I am freaking struggling this morning. I’ve had OCD all my life and then I fell into a deep depression a few years ago. I was hospitalized and hence I was retired early due to my illness. I am blessed to say that I did get my retirement from my former employer after 24 years which Is good. But lately I’ve been struggling, especially in the mornings. I feel like I’m trying to find some sort of purpose. I have a daughter that’s 11, that I truly love, and would do anything for. I do see a therapist once a week and an APN once a month for my meds. Sometimes I think I may need to find new therapists, but anyway that’s another post I think. I try to socialize as much as I can, but I find that at times when I reach out everyone’s always to busy with their own lives. I don’t know how to branch out to new friends. I’m really besides myself this morning. On another note, I ran out of one of my add on antidepressants and I think that’s not helping much. My therapist gives me the samples of the add on anti depressants cause they’re so expensive. As I write this post I am so sad I feel like crying. Don’t feel like doing anything but just laying in bed. SAMSON
