Call a therapist: Call and make an appointment with a therapist. You can also speak to a hot line like the good samaritans hot line until you can see a therapist. Consider seeing a psychiatrist as well and start on medication to relieve some of the depression as yoiu begin to work with a therapist in talk therapy. It will get better, good luck.

Recommend seeing: your primary care therapist for medical eval first. R/O medical causes for your depression. Meds may be needed. Talking therapy to include Cognitive Behavioral therapy or psychotherapy can be effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises
