    Hi, maybe you can pick yourself up via religion. Is good to have a religion to give us strength so that we can overcome our fear etc. When you feel down etc speak to God if you are Christian, it do help. 😊

    depression is really in your own mind. we have to do our best to help ourselves and try to change the situation we are in. Sometimes we can reach out for help but it’s really all about ourselves. It has to take motivations to act and change things. Sometimes it seems like there’s no light and it’s hard to move on, but the most important thing is that we don’t give up. There are still beautiful and kind things and people in life.

      hi thanks for the reply i am not feeling the best today its my nans birthday she past away in april, I feel a burden on my partner feel like I am holding him back as i dont want to do anything we have never been on holiday even though he has won a few from work as i have got this overwhelming fear of the unknown, I dont have many people to talk to so it's all just held inside i am on sertraline 100mg seems to work sometimes and others not at all, maby you husband is quite because he knows how you feel and sometimes its best to not say anything atall as to not cause more upset, if you dont mind me asking how old are you? are you on any medication?
