I feel so lost

I've been fighting depression all of my life. The last ten years of my life have been so hard on me. I moved to a new state to get away from an abusive man. I've been fired from 8 jobs, been out of work since July. Can't eat or sleep and all I want to do is cry. I had to put my dog to sleep in August, she was my best friend for 13 years. My mother past away 19 years ago on December 18. I turned 45 on the 15th. There are no jobs in the paper. I have tried vitamins, I see a counselor once a week. I can't shake these blue feelings. I'm rambling, thought this board might be helpful.

I can understand your feeling lost and alone and not in the best of places.

Thank you for the tips. I didn't know iVillage had a job board or what ever it is called. I realized my depression was from PMS which gets worse each year. I am also pre menopausal yipppee!! I live in a very rual area. I done the temp thing which is not stable. They promise you an assignment for 90 days and it ends up to be one or two days and it screws up my unemployment benefits.

Hi.

Just thought I would let you know that you are not alone. I, too, am having a hard time with life, and have struggled with depression on and off for 10 years.

I guess the important thing to remember is that we are all just human, and all that we can do is our best. I am sure that you have tried your hardest all of your life, are a good person, and will make it through this time.

I send you all the best.
