Love help: Someone please give me their opinion on depression. - Help.com

Someone please give me their opinion on depression.

I need some advice. Everything in my life has slowly been going horribly wrong for the past 3 years. When i was 17 i told my parents i was gonna take a year off school to work and help out ‘cos my mother lost her job. They said that was fine but kicked me out and made me homeless as soon as i did. 6 months of sleeping rough and on friends couches and i finally got a place to live. Im a diabetic and soon suffered complications because of my lifestyle and diet. I now have neuropathy which is a condition effecting my nervous system. They receive random stimuli and i suffer constant pain for no reason. I also have erectile dysfunction to some extent because of the nerve damage. So im 20 now and am in agony every second - even as i type this. I have a beautiful girlfriend whom i love dearly but this life is grinding me down. I try to hang on for her but i just want the pain to end but it wont. Its going to get worse and worse until i die. I just dont know what to do. Any advice or opinions would really help - thanks.

I’m sorry to hear of all the pain you are in and going through. I would strongly suggest going back to your doctors for some further help. It does sound like you are suffering from depression (and rightly so). Perhaps they could give you some help for that and perhaps further help for your other pains and problems. Look on the internet for people with similar problems to see what works for them. Don’t give up hope just yet. You never know what is around the corner. Hang in there!

I can see how this can bring you down.And the thought that it will not be better is a total downer. Try to get all the help and knowledge you can and options for the dsfunction and pain. And a support group may help too.There are some online .Think of it as a temporary problem because it probably is. and don’t give up .Have faith in technology changing all the time and faith in the unseen. I will try to get you some links if you like.

How’s your current prognosis, are you seeing a regular doctor? Have you considered having acupuncture treatments?

Basically from what I’ve gathered, it’s a question of treating the underlying cause, diabetes, and then pain treatments for the effects of the Neuropathy.

Depression, I think is a result of the hardships you’re under currently and looking into the future and seeing that this is to be an ongoing medical condition that you’ll need treatment for.

One of the treatments I was reading said that group therapy is considered a type of treatment due to the condition of life (as a result of the Neuropathy…) is that an option for you?
