    Depression can certainly affect your ability to function, including slowing your thought process. If this is something you are struggling with you may want to consider anyone in your family that you could talk to about how you feel? Maybe they could help you express your feelings. Talk with a therapist or seek help from a Mental Health Professional such as a psychiatrist, who can help you better understand and deal with depression. The most important thing you can do is talk to someone about your feelings. It’s easy to keep your feelings buried deep inside and just hope they go away. Untreated depression can lead to suicidal thoughts so don’t let it go that far.

    If at any time you are not able to keep yourself safe call 911 or go to the ER for immediate assistance. You would like to discuss this further reach out to a Crisis Hotline in your area and speak with a trained counselor by phone, chat, text or email.

    Hang in there and know there is help available for those who are struggling with depression.

    Take care,

    You need to get medication and therapy and treat yourself right

    Think about the one thing you want in life, something crazy like taking a year round trip to live in the jungle for a year or something amazing like that and literally go out and do it . Have some awesome experiences and try a new style of life

    Get therapy. Take the medication your doctor tells you to take. Eat right. Exercise.

    You know, the secular stuff that has been proven to work.
