I am sorry you are having a very tough time right now and it is so difficult to help online... depression is a medical issue (same as if you had cancer or a serious illness that kept you from going on day to day as normal)... keep communicating with good people that will be kind (even if it is here)... eat healthy food (vitamins if necessary)... if you have a pet, lean on them to give you love... know that you are not alone and it can and will get better... nature can help, helping others can help... keep looking for your way

(when I went through a bout of depression, ...when I could get out of bed, I would go to a mirror- at least once a day-and use my fingers to physically force my face to smile and I found others tricks to eventually get myself well...)

it seems as if you are in Texas and I would strongly urge you to call someone there

Have you read Trauma and Recovery? Go to a self help bookstore applegrove Mar 2018 #6

Hmm... vercetti2021 Mar 2018 #8

A bookstore that caters to hippies and self help. They probably sell chrystals too. Maybe near a applegrove Mar 2018 #13

Only place that would have that here is a store called Earthbound vercetti2021 Mar 2018 #15

Call them and ask how big their self help section is. Or maybe go to a big box store. applegrove Mar 2018 #19

I will vercetti2021 Mar 2018 #20

Then maybe AMAZON or a big box book store is a better idea. applegrove Mar 2018 #21

Barnes and Nobles perhaps? vercetti2021 Mar 2018 #22

Call the diffuser selling place and ask them if they know a self help bookstore. Come to applegrove Mar 2018 #24

Will check vercetti2021 Mar 2018 #32
