Is this really happening to me? In August 28, 2004 my oldest sister had a brain anuerysm while driving, she barely lived through it, I took care of her for months thereafter. Then June 10, 2005 my Daddy died unexpectedly from a heart attack, Feb 6, 2006, my oldest brother Scott hung himself, he asked for me over and over that night, but I couldn't get there in time. On March 1, 2006 I lost my very good job, I couldn't function anymore. On March 7th my only other brother had a brain tumor, he lived through that, but is a real mess now. The depression I feel is unbarable. The Dr. said there is nothing more they can do for me, I'm so lost. I finally got a job, last two months, they fired me for depression, I still have the note. I'm sinking so far into this depression, I find no joy in anything. We have been so blessed up til now. I am a great accountant, but cannot even think straight anymore. I love the Lord and know that somehow He will see me through. Meanwhile I'm losing everything. My car, that my brother co signed for me, the one who took his life, I already lost my house now. So I live with my poor Mom who's heart is so broken as is mine. She is on social security and I'm trying to get it together so I can work and help her. Through all of this pain, I have never gotten mad at God or asked anyone for help. I just keep trying to live. Sometimes I think I live for my Mom, because she couldn't take another loss. She and my Daddy was married for 46 years, almost. He died June 10, their 46th anniversary was June 12th. We buried him on their anniversary. I am in need of money, to help my Mom and not lose my car. The three siblings I have left did not move in with Mom to help her, I was the only one willing. I would appreciate any kind of help. If you can help in any way , small or large, even a walmart card for food would be so much appreciated my address is 1500 Vincent Street, Brownwood, TX 76801 my name is Teresa Burns. If you could help me in anyway, I would be forever greatful. I hope that people do not get on this site and make stuff up, because this reality is all too real for me. I used to laugh all the time, now I just seem to exist. Thank you and bless you!

Hi, my name is Crystal. I'm a 21 year old, single, working, living on my own. I've had chronic depression for about 3 1/2 years now. My parents both work at walmart so they can't help me much financially in any aspect. I tried going to college right out of high school and did okay until halfway through, the room mates I had made it difficult to get school work done, but not just that, working long hours and going to school full time, living on my own, was a killer for me. I've been extremely discouraged to go to college, though I want to get my degree. I've had a very hard time having hope for my life though I'm sure it's not that bad. I want to get on anti-depressants to balance out of my mind. It feels so out of whack. Sometimes reality doesn't feel real and I feel like I'm going crazy. I think that if I got on anti-depressants, the things I do to try and get back on my feet again will help me stay on my feet. I have the motivation at times, but I can't seem to maintain it for long. My moods are up and down constantly, bi-polar if you will. It's been a very long 3 1/2 years struggling with this thing. I want to be well again. I want to be happy again and looking forward to having a family someday with a great husband and wonderful children. I had so many good goals and dreams before this depression came on. It is like a ditch that you just constantly fall into whenever you attempt to stay out. Almost like quicksand..the harder you struggle, the quicker you fall in. I just want to be normal again. The overwhelming emotions of loneliness, hopelessness, despair and fear control most aspects of my life at this point, socially, with work, with family, with myself. If there is anything anyone can do, I would greatly appreciate it. I have come to think that I can't defeat this monster on my own. I need help and I don't really know where to turn to.

Please help me.Im desperate.I am a 50 year old female with a mental disorder and seizures.my income at this time is very low.I am more then willing to make payments to anyone who can just find it in their out to help me out.my heating/cooking gas is off my phone will be off soon .as well as my eleectric.AIm not asking forcharity Im asking for help My food money is gone also I have asked all asst programs avail to me in chicago but all tell me out of funds.I was doing very well but now my depression is overcoming me Please someone help me before its too late I beg you. 

I've had chronic depression for 3 1/2 years. I'm now 21 years old and living on my own, working with this chronic depression has made it extremely difficult to move forward with my life. I want to go to college like I planned, I want to prepare to be a good mother and wife later in life and debt free. I have rejected credit cards and anything that would put me into debt, but debt found me. I had to go to the ER with medical problems and without medical insurance, I can't pay the bills I owe medically. I made a mistake with my phone bill. A simple one, which unfortunately lots of people have done as well and it's not too high to pay down. $1500 in medical debt and $800 in phone bill to pay off. My parents never had much money and honestly, weren't able to teach me much on how to live on my own successfully. I am struggling to maintain myself financially and mentally. I would like to go on anti-depressants to help me be more successful when I make the effort to put my life back together, but anti-depressants for me are expensive without medical insurance. I don't qualify for medical insurance because they say I'd have to pay $700 to the government to recieve aid. I forget now why, but I can't pay the government $700 to get assistance financially since I'm already in need of financial help. I'm overwhelmed and lost on being independant. Everyday is an emotional ride for me and I'm ready to do what needs to be done to move forward with my life. I've come to the conclusion that I can't defeat my depression on my own. I've tried and struggled against it over and over and it's a fight I keep losing and I fear will continue to lose to if I don't do something about it before it takes over more areas of my life. I need help, something to get me back on the road again.
