Thank you, DL, for your information. I'll check it out.
While individual counseling would be the ideal, if there are support groups locally, they'll be the next best. And if they're not, well, I won't know until I try it, right?
The real hell of all this is that it doesn't take much to bring a little hope back for me. It's only when I act on all the ideas that I have to get help, and find all the doors slammed in my face again that I fall apart. For instance, it felt hopeful to call around the counseling options in my community, but then I crashed again when none of them were anywhere near within my means. If there's something, anything, out there, I have to try to find it. I can't make it through this alone, and I really can't cope at all right now. Anything can set me off into the darkest despair. The flip side, of course, is that almost anything is enough to make me want to look forward again.
Damn. When I rule the world, depression will be outlawed. Except for people who tell depressives to "snap out of it."
