    not sure exactly what is going on in your life right now that got you living with parents along with raising your daughter. Is the father around? Anyway, you need to be around for her. Think of the milestones that she will be going through. You need to be there for her. Life can be hard but you will have ups and downs. push through and don't let anybody put you down.

    I see from your post you are a young woman with a child to care for. As your post did not mention what you are being treated for

    it is difficult to offer any practical advise on your condition.

    I am concerned you feel you have nothing to live for! This forum can give you practical advice on your medial condition as well as support you during this difficult time. PAIN in its self is very lowering, have you spoken to your GP or hospital specialist about how you are feeling? I'm sure if you talk to your GP in the first instance they should be able to advise you of mental health services available.

    Please be assured that your fellow patients on this forum will be here for you.

    there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if you cant see it I promise its there and you will eventually find your way to find it. When you do it will be so special for you. Don't give up as you have been blessed with a child.

    I have been in a dark tunnel for a long time. Never believed id find the light but eventually found a way out. The best things are worth fighting for and never give up.

    Good luck and best wishes, we are all here for you.

    I agree with everything that others have said but want to emphasise that you must talk to your GP. You live with your parents and theres nothing like the support you can get from your mum. Everybody needs their mum sometimes, no matter how old you are and, as a mum yourself, you know that. Think about your child who loves you and needs you. Your mum will be there for you and you must be there for your daughter. we all go through bad times in our lives but, with determination, you will get through this. Depression usually improves well with modern medication but additional counseling can also be organised by your GP. Best wishes. xx
