All I want...

[Whytry]

All I want is to have a quiet and comfortable life with my wife and children. But this depression is making me screw up my life, and I’m about to be put out of the house.

I think many of us have been there! When depression sets in, it is challenging to make sometimes even minor decisions. Unfortunately, this is normal when you feel like this.

What I do, is talk to someone else, like a family member, a friend, or a counselor. And try to slow down my thought process, so I take one step at a time if possible. Sometimes writing it out helps, or diagraming it so someone else understands my dilemma helps, and just having another person to bounce ideas off often helps.

And when you have time, please schedule an appointment with a mental health counselor to help you peruse all your issues and a battle plan—for example, a call to the bank or to the landlord regarding your housing.
