hi, im really struggling now with depression, although for very valid reasons, i lost my job, my mums family disowned me and im on the verge of losing my home, i have litterally no friends, no one to talk to, and to top it all off my partner broke it off with me yesterday. before yesterday, i was already in a black place, so now i know things are gonna get a lot worse. im already on cit, and have been for about two years for anixety and panic attacks, but should i get the gp to up my dose? do anti depressants really help when you have reasons for the depression, or am i better to try and get through this on my current dose? any advise would be really appreciated.

This might not be the most inspiring but im new here and by that i mean like 30 mins. But from what i read i think that its better to try something and if it doesnt work try something else. I love the lines people put in here. Best one i saw was something like "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
If only it was that easy huh

It might help up your mood so you can cope a bit better.
But seems that you need Thearpy or just a friend .
Sorry you're going through such a hard time x
You have too be your own best friend
I've have tones of people turn their backs on me, I learnt not to internalize it, just because they don't like me or think I'm a bad person, doesn't make it true , it's them with the problem not me.
You'd be surprized people often project their problems onto you.

You say no-one to talk too, does the chat thingy on here help at all?

I listen to a lot of books, not the same but i can easily spend days not talking to anyone so some voice is good.
