Does anyone know of any ways to treat depression that costs no money.Self-control would help here,but I lack that too.Any tips or anything besides negative feedback would greatly help.

I just found out this week that my aunt committed suicide last Saturday night. Some times i think that i am ok but then all of the sudden it hits me and i start crying uncontrolable. How do you cope with this? We were really close. Im 21 now and have lived with her from the time i was 15 till i was 18. She cared about me when my parents abandoned me. I was unable to attend her funeral b/c i just moved to another state and didnt have the money to go home. I didnt ever have a chance to say goodbye. I never thought that anything like THIS would happen. she has been terminally ill for some time with HEP C. I could have been ok with it if she died from that but for her die by her own hand is tearing me apart. A part of me is angry with her for not thinking about all the ppl who care about her. Then the other part of me is so sad b/c i know i'll never see her again. How do i deal with this? Please help I've never been this down in my life about losing someone to death.

She is a lovely woman and I have tried to help, cheer her up and suggested therapy but she just shrugs it off. She is getting worse every day. I know it's hard on her but she refuses help. She is considering having another child but I think that in her state that would be a horrible thing for the little baby and only make her worse. I'm trying my best to be there for her but it is hard on me too. She clings to me, visits every single day even when I ask for a break. She often gives her husband the cold shoulder in preferance of me. I can't let her wallow in self pity but I don't know what to do.

I am worried that a friend could be suicidal. She is in therapy, but I think she needs medication. How can she get a prescription for anti-depressants? What is the procedure for having her committed against her will? We live in Illinois.

I started therapy about 4 weeks ago and have had 4 sessions. I know that isn't a lot, but I feel like I've been failing at my mission to get better. I have OCD and I'm trying to get it under control, but every time I get into a situation in which I have the urge to do or say something, I give in. Is my therapist going to see that I'm not benefiting from therapy or think I'm not trying hard enough and turn me away? Is it normal to feel this way when you are just starting? Or should I be experiencing some improvement by now? I have this awful feeling that I'm hopeless.

I'm a sophomore in college and my GPA is a despicable 2.38 because I suffered through a severe depressive episode last year. This happened because of things which were out of my control. My dad lost his job through gambling and is still unemployed, my grandmother died, my best friend ignored me for the entire year that I lived with him, people at my college always give me dirty looks, my family is in serious debt, my parents don't get along, the house is a complete mess, and I have no friends. My sister thinks I am weak and stupid. Am I destined to stay miserable for the rest of my life? Thanks for any advice or words of comfort that you guys may have. I keep pressing on but I don't see the hope or final destination to all of this.

She's been sexually harassed by many older men, so I think that's what causing her to be this way. ..Old meaning at least over 45...

Please don't take offence to this question either, its not ment to upset you!

Sorry for being so dramatic in my question. But I'm a little confused. I hope you don't mind reading this.
For the past five years I've been hearing "voices" and cut. I finally told people last year. Lets go ahead and tell you I am 15 and since I'm still a minor I guess they feel the need to take over my life when they se the slightest instability. So then I was hospitalized in January this year... which hurt more than it helped. And while we're at it, let me ask you another question: Is it right to five-point restrain and give minors THORAZINE when they get out of hand? Come on. How is getting high going to punish a teenager? But anyways. Consequently, I've been put on several different medications. Also counseling and therapy. Although I didn't always take my pills and I sometimes lied to the therapist, things got better for awhile. But now its back to how it was. So what do you think is fate's reason for all this? To learn from these mistakes? Or to show me this is who I really am?

1. Intelligent
2. Lies and manipulates
3. Given to sudden rages and goes WAY to far when angry
4. Recognizes injustice in the world and with strangers but will manipulate, connive and execute the cruelest intents when felt slighted--even if the slight did not happen
5. Incapable of connecting but seems to sample in going deeper
6. Does get close to people but uses humiliation ALOT to manipulate those around them to get what they want
7. Seems to be passed through mother: grandma, daughter, her daughter
8. Unwilling to own anything...but very, very bright. If admitting something--something even raw and exposing--will meet their end, will do it.
9. Has NO IDEA how awful they really are
10. Has trouble truly loving offspring and family--unless an agenda is present--then it's an act.
I would appreciate some serious responses. I am the youngest of 4 and I see the same behaviour out of my oldest sister as I see in my mother and grandmother. I am worried about me.

I self-injure, and my parents don't know i do it. I only came out this year, to my best friend in June and progressively to more and more people, so now, there's about 15 people who know. I'm thinking about trying to talk to my parents, but first, I want to know what rights, if any, I have. I'm afraid they'll want to put me in an institution or some sort of mental hospital, so I want to know what I have control over in the situation. (just fyi -- it's not life-threatening and I'm not suicidal. :) thankfully.)

I don’t know what to do. I am sad nearly all the time now and I've been crying every single day for almost three months. I can't sleep and I don't have any energy and just getting up in the morning is the hardest thing in the world. I don't think I have actual depression, I think I'm just sad, but it's so bad I can't do anything and it's interfering with my job. Twice now I've been sent home from work because I couldn't stop crying, and I'm afraid my boss is going to get fed up with me if it happens again (and I'm sure it will). What should I do? I don't really have any friends that I can talk to. I don't know about seeing a therapist because for one thing I'm so terribly shy and it's hard for me to talk to people, and also I don't know how I'd feel about going just because "I'm sad". But I just can't stop crying.
