I think I’m depressed again, but I can’t get into counselling for another 2 months. What should I do?

Combined with some year old trauma, a failed business start up, financial problems and a serious pressure to succeed, I think my depression is coming back. I feel so guilty because I’m in the best relationship of my life and yet here I am. I won’t be able to get counselling for 2 months. What can I do until then?

@Mxisxfunxxx Hi Ms. M! 🤗 I wasn’t aware you went through something like that. I’m glad you got out okay.

@InvaderNice I did. It has 15 years now but when I think about it I am so glad I had friends

In my experience the best way to battle depression is to verbally talk about it and open up to someone (anyone, that you feel you can trust).

Heck during one depression, I opened up to my neighbors Golden Retriever and would just spend 30+ mins petting and talking with the dog that just wanted to be petted and loved on.

But in my experience, physically talking to someone in real life has helped most.

There are also some apps that are said to help depression, though I know very little about them, or if they work.

Keep talking, first of all. You’re doing the right thing right now. You can message me if you want.

Talk with a close family member, a close friend, pastor, or hell, someone on here you trust.👍🤗

If your not opposed to meds, you could see a doctor.
