I wish I were there with you to give you a hug of love and support. You are so brave for expressing your honest feelings about what's going on in your life. We, the people on your f-list, are always here to listen because we genuinely care about you.
Depression is a terrible disease. I suffered for years with suicidal depression in my teens (the psychiatrist labeled me as having "severe clinical depression"), so I can definitely relate to what you're feeling. My depression got so bad that I dropped out of high school because I couldn't handle schoolwork and depression at the same time. I stopped caring about school. I stopped caring about everything in my life. For months, I stopped taking showers, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair--my hygiene was horrible. I neglected myself. My problems became too much for me to bear alone, so I entered therapy and was prescribed antidepressant medication. The talk therapy and medication helped to heal me.
You do not deserve to suffer alone in silence with depression. You were bombarded with too many traumas and too many episodes of loss this year. The traumas you went through are too much for one human to handle alone. You deserve help and support from people that are trained to help pull people (like you and me) from the abyss of depression.
lauralot, me, and the rest of the folks on your f-list are always here for you.
