I can't get out of my depression since death of my father 1 yr ago...?!


Question:

I can't get out of my depression since death of my father 1 yr ago...?

I have been on antidepressants ...but they just aren't working..I had never experienced losing anyone so close to me.......I feel
lost and sad and hopeless.


Answers:

1. Have you found either a good therapist or a good support group? Cognitive therapy, or Rational-Emotive therapy, are the types that often work fastest and get right to the problem.

2. I have had good luck with anti-depressants, myself. You need to return to whoever is prescribing them and let him/her know they aren't helping. But...keep in mind, they aren't supposed to cure your depression in and of themselves. It should be used in a combination with therapy of some sort.

3. Try to find a group online, if you like Internet. Go to Yahoo Groups and search for groups of people in the same boat. Only people who have gone thru the same thing can really understand what it's like!

4. You CAN feel good again! But first you will have to sort through all your feelings associated with the loss of your dad.

I will send some healing thoughts out into the Universe for you, okay? :) xoxo
