Who to go to for help in Delft, NL ?

I have moved to the Netherlands for study and for a boy who broke up with me just as I came over. I’ve always been depressed and started Prozac just before I came here to cope with the stress. It seemed to work for a little bit. I have lots of semi-friends here, no one really close and am still agonisingly in love with the boy - there is no hope there, but he is the only person who made me happy. I have no other sources of happiness here. I have messed up uni and my job and spend many days almost catatonic and then pretend to my friends that all is going fine. I just think I’m getting worse and worse. This morning I was just in foetal position, crying in the shower for an hour…I guess I’m afraid that I’m really losing myself. The depression that has always been there like a dark cloud, now seems to be a full blown storm. I can’t see through it. I think about suicide all the time and have tried a noose to see how painful it would be…but I’m chicken. And I don’t want to hurt my mum. I just dont know who to go to here in Holland. I’m 28.

Don’t know if you have professionally treated for depression, but just in case that you have not, here is something you can consider to determine if you need to.

Many people in life tag fears, or inability to control your life and you, as depression. That is why it is difficult to find a solution. It is mislabeled. In order to fix things we need to identify what it really is that we need to fix. It would be a terrible waste of a life, if you were to kill yourself for things that quite easy to fix, once you know what they truly are. Do you see these things as possible in your present situation and perspective. Carol

Carol, I’ve always been depressed. Since I was 15. Think I’m just chemically unbalanced. It’s not dependent on my cicumstances.It just happens that my circumstances right now are making me feel the worst I’ve ever felt. When you say treated for depression I’ve saw an old doctor who told me to snap out of it, I saw a counsellor who told me I was ‘a lovely person’ and thought that would solve it and I saw another doc who gave me prozac. I’m now in the Netherlands and don’t know where to go for help. In terms of changing my circumstances the options I have are either to do something I can’t cope with or to do something that will temporarily help, ie, going home, but ultimately make my life worse. I want to be able to cope with my circumstances as they are now. I’m just not.
