I suffered from it in the 90's after taking Accutane!. It sent me over the edge to the point my family worried constantly!. However, my recovery was made possible by my family!. I know I was not an easy person to be around, yet they knew I was hurting and put it aside to help me!.
The best thing for you to do is remember it is a process!. Medications don't tend to "kick in" for weeks, so do not feel like you have lost all hope if you start taking it and feel no difference!. (it will start to help you more and more) Also, keep in mind that medications are not the only RX you need!. In order to pull yourself out and up, you have to take baby steps!.
What sent me into it full blown is like I said, the disadvantage of Accutane which can make you practically bi-polar, a job I had for ten years that lost all glitter when the company sold off, and a fiance that turned out to be a bad decision, and a sudden move 350 miles from where I had grown up!.
I started with the medication, went to a counselor to vent, (keep in mind they don't "fix" but are a neutral person who can help you better because they have no personal relationship to you) the support of my family and their efforts to get me out there again!. They forced me at times to go out to eat, my mother went shopping with me, my dad and my father spent more time with me and focused on helping me to feel better about myself!. It took quite a while, but once they pulled me out of the "darkness" I felt like I had plunged into--things got better!.
How you can cope is to remember what I said!.!.!.the meds and counseling take time, give yourself time!. Don't mentally degrade yourself if you slip!. (the internal messages we beat ourselves up with are a major contributor) Find one new interest!. (not many, but one) It could be as small as riding a bike twice a day (which will help the endorphins to produce) and doing crossword puzzles!. I know that sounds strange, but the more you re-train your brain to focus on these things, the better you will be able to see the world around you!.
Most of all!.!.!.remember this is a product of chemical imbalance!. Depressed individuals begin to lose the ability to produce serotonin more and more!. (which is why you need meds to correct it) Don't beat yourself up!. You are not crazy, worthless, a liabilty or a burden!. This is normal and you WILL come out of it!.
I hope I was able to help some!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im actually bipolar (but the type that is long lasting)
but my journey began with my trying to kill myself (NOT FUN!)
just stay on meds (if your on any) because it is WORSE when you are off, emotinally and physically (it F***S YOU UP!)
i just learned a new instrument when i was down (sometimes al ittle bit of motivation; ie!. eagerness to explore, kept me going, kept me interested!.) but thats just me!. i just relaxed also when the insturment thing got frustrating!.
coping, is fake!. they'll tell you to draw a picture, but really, heres how it is
someone says something to you!?
--- just reply "oh really!? thats nice"
be polite, theyll hate it and give up on harassing you
just a shitty day!?
---picture your boss/teacher/police stranded on a highway buck naked [sorry if that gives you badimages] you'll laugh anyway
just keep rowing your boat

I await treatment myself!. But when it does, hopefully, happen, I'm pretty sure it would be a rough journey!. Just a little self-confidence and effort should get both of us through!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
