I read the symptoms for Major Depressive Disorder, from this link, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20070411151501AAZbuhh&grp_name=Men_overcoming_depression&grp_spid=1601040823&grp_cat=/Health___Wellness/Support/Diseases_and_Conditions/Mental_Health_Disorders/Mood_Disorders/Depressive_Disorders&grp_user=0 , and I have all of the normal symptoms and some of the severe symptoms as well. I am currently unemployed and the bills are stacking up, I have no health insurance and everyday is a struggle to try and look for a job, does anyone have any suggestions for help that for the moment doesnt involve professional health care? Any thoughts, suggestions or comments would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am so depress, because I lost everything, job, family, friends and so on and no where to run to start. I became languid.

When you're upset, what do you consciously think of to make yourself feel better? I mean specifically: describe a scenario, a memory from childhood, a fantasy and dream of the future, or an idea of a fireplace from books-- what do you conjure up in your mind to keep going and cheer yourself up?

Are there thing that I shouldn't tell my therapist? I have some thoughts that if acted on, could land me in jail. Bad idea to share such thoughts, right?

I think I have been depressed for about seven years. It used to come and go, but now it's always lingering. I've also been recently considering suicide(I'm not sure if that's related).I don't really know what kind of doctor to go see. Or even if my insurance will cover treatment if I need it. i need help.

We both are teachers and last summer he worked summer school. Five days after school was over our daughter was born. It was really hard since we do not have family or close friends in our city to help us. So he basically has not had real vacations. Does he need to rest or he is maybe sick
