Hmm: Understanding why we are depressed and talking it over with family, friends, community members may provide some relief. This however needs a face to face encounter. Perhaps you can see your doctor for a full history and check up and make the proper steps to get your better. If you feel you are a threat to harm yourself or loved ones please go to the closest hospital. Good luck
