For the past 2 years I've been really depressed emotionally,phycially, from family,relationship,and general life issues. Some of the things I've thought about doing could cause people to get hurt but that's not what I want. I continue to cover up all my problems to avoid stressing and worrying others. I've thought about seeing a phhyciatrist, think it's neccessary? I have 2 kids to live for but feel like giving up. I know what I need to do but once I'm on a good path with clear thoughts I get thrown off. I want or need a better job, any resources?

We all reach a point in our lives when we need to think about what's right for ourselves. If you are feeling this way it sounds like you to do something for yourself. Seeing a therapist would probably be a great solution. If you can't bring yourself to do it for your self think about your children. They can tell when somethings not right. So seeing a therapist may help you, which in turn could help your children.
Also no matter what you do not give up. From your question I can see that you are an extremely caring person, otherwise you wouldn't worry about hurting others so much. Thus you have so much to bring to our world. Maybe you could even find a job helping others. I find that helping others is the most rewarding and satisfying job in the world. It makes me want to keep pushing forward even when I get blown off track.
I hope that you keep on going, and that you realize how important you are to our world.

I have experienced the same depression symptoms and finally got on medication and it turned my life around. I fought getting help for years because of the stigma attached to getting mental or emotional help. I would go to a psychologist before a psychiatrist. Most psychologists can refer you to an MD if necessary for medication. You could also start with a family doctor. Your kids depend on you. Don't do anything crazy without getting help. Good luck to you!!!

I wish I could help you but at present I feel like you.What helps me a lot is the thought that nothing lasts for ever so soon or late everything will be over.And also try thinking that something good and unexpected can come up and you will start feeling better.
If this helps,you're not the only one feeling like that.
Best of good luck from Italy.

Contact your local mental health center. They should be able to provide an evaluation, assessment and medications. A doctor will prescribe meds, but not get at the root causes and conditions. consider getting a physical to check your thyroid. Most of all, don't give up!

Get some professional help NOW!! Don't wait any longer. There are places that will take smaller payments or none at all if you really need it as they are needs based. Look in your phone book for anyplace that will help with fees based on what you make rather than just a flat fee but get help now.
