i feel neg,i dont feel the fullfillment in my life .even tho i have two kids , my girl is also having minor depression..our depression was due to our upbringin by my mum ..had abusive childhood...she ruined my life ..controls it ...puts me down all the time .jealous, self centred . my mum is staying with me now (am only child)..gosh wish she was some where else ..we are not in talkin terms any more .

OK
I sometimes go in that depressed state
I had a thew bad things happen to me but you cant let them get you down..... You only live once ......
So the way i get over my depression is by eating fruit so I feel healthy very important
Then get yourself something that you always wanted i got me friends season 1 in one season of friends is 24 episodes and its only R299.00 Here in South Africa ... now I'm already on season 5 and it has helped me when i feel down i turn on the telly and watch a episode of friends and i feeling 100% again
a nice bath could help lay back in a bath of bubbles .
i cant tell that you are a great person and you would do anything for your kids and hubby but you do nothing for yourself so tomorrow morning start living for you and your family and not only for your family..
take care

I have suffered with depression all my life..sometimes it totally destroys me and I have had to start life over again several times..I am in the slow process of that again..but one thing I do do when I feel this way is I write myself a post it note: I love you and you are worthwhile..I post it on my bath mirror..I see it several times and day..and believe it or not it helps me through a lot of days ..sometimes its good to remind ourselves and that we are worthwhile and we deserve to love ourselves no matter how any one else feels about it..good luck take care..post it!

okay.. ur mom's issue... try going to social services or something to make her go to the Old People's Homes.
if u want to take courses and a couple of dollars short, try going to the city hall andu can apply for a Job Seeker's Allowance (I dont know if u have that there in USA).
try going out for sometime and just relax. (^^;) God Speed.

i think you should do a couple of things:
1) ask your mother to leave (for a reason on no.1)
2) get medication (there are new medivcations now, of which you won't feel depending anymore)
3) get a job or a hobby, something (nice) to fill your time
good luck!

"You will keep them in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because they trust You" Isaiah 20:3
Surrender all your worries and problems to God and He will see you through, He promises.
