I need someone’s help!!

[potor]

Hi all,
I haven’t been on here for ages. I had managed to get through a lot of things over the past few months but over the past few weeks I have felt myself slip back into my depression. I have split up with my fiancé because I have gone back into my depression. I have turned into this mad person and I need to get out of it.
I need to be with him and I need him to help me!
How can I get out of all this bad stuff in my head?

I'm sorry you're in such a hard spot. Do you know what spurred on the depression? Is it the holidays/ New Year, shortened days? A lot of folks have set backs and depression this time of year- can make it very hard. Is it the anniversary of a death or some traumatic event? Could it be hormonal? I don't know your age - but could it be menopause or per menopause - or if you're young, have your periods changed this year? This can indicate a hormonal issue. Do you have food allergies? They can develop at any time in life. I was raised on dairy and can't touch the stuff now (nor soy) or I get deathly ill and become a raging lunatic. Hypoglycemia, perhaps?
I guess, for me, there are two things I realize I need to do with my depression. Figure out the roots. And find the appropriate support. I feel I've pretty much done the first thing. Now I'm working on the support part. It's been a difficult process for me, no doubt about it.
Are you seeing a therapist? Have you talked to your doctor about this?
