How can I stop being so depressed?

Question

I moved away from home and with a guy I had been dateing for three years, well I moved in with him and his Dad and his dad's Girlfriend. Well It wasn't even 6 months after I moved in I found out he had been cheating on me. He eventually broke it off, after I had given him more than enough chances. I am still living with his dad but his Dad sets a depressed mood in the house. He is an artist with no work. I thought about moving but then I realized I am a full time college grad, with a baby and a shitty paying job. I can barely pay my bills, college tuition, and food for the baby, i could careless bout me. I made a stupid mistake and now I am so depressed, I think it is mostly because my ex's dad makes this house so well depressing. I suffer from constant headaches, sleep less than normal and am always tired. I have tried meds and seen a doctor but they all say the same thing...move out...thats not that easy therefore leaving me more depressed...any suggestions?

Answer 1

Hun, you didn't mention where your family is? Can they help you- let you stay w/ them until ur back on ur feet? Tell them your situation and hopefully someone can come thru for you.

Hope is hard to keep a hold of. But something I was told helps me feel better at times. Life is simply a series of hills and valleys. Sometimes your falling down hill and sometimes going up the hill- the key is to just keep on moving- you'll end up somewhere.

Baby steps...they may be slow- but you get somewhere eventually

Best of Luck to you...

ps. dude sounds like total dirt and a wooo (waste of our oxygen) - There is the perfect man out there waiting for you to find him- so get out there and start looking :)

You should give yourself some time to think about or research where you want to go.
