Go tell a professional. You know the signs, they are there – you need help. Go today!

Don’t wait around here – make the call, and then come back and update with good news!

Has the depression been around for 6 to 7 weeks? What about all the other disorders you mention? This situation must be around for ages, it cannot have just hit you over that 2 months. Obviously you have been suffering for years and there is no doubt that you should have turned to a professional long ago. Please do not wait around any longer because you will find yourself in hot waters!

Can you get in touch with a support group where you will be able to talk about your feelings and hears others? Try not to leave any time aside to be depressed. Volunteer, go out, exercise and fight this monster with all the strength you have. You have been to hell and come back and you will find the way to get out. All the best!

Try a bottle of scotch and a hot hooker. Works for me, every time. Except for one time in Vegas, when I woke up the next day with a bad headache, a missing wallet, and a tattoo that says, “Singapore 1995”. Go figure.
