Heru,

I have also been in the depression boat lately and I know what you are feeling. I have young boys like you do and we have beautiful families. Sometimes we just get this way (some more than others), but we have to talk about it to make it better I suppose. I hope you get back on top and thanks for sharing such a personal thing with your friends here on TRF..

As others have said and my suggestion: Get off the internet and the forums. Spend some time away from the internet and watches (at least a month) , and go have a serious talk with your Pastor/Church Counselor. That will lead you down the right step. God Speed!

TR my friend problems are meant to go away. if there is something that always keeps my head above water is reminding myself that somewhere in this world someone will not have dinner tonight and still happier than i am. how dare can i be sad? but if it's medical depression then it's time to seek for medical help. remember my friend envy is one of the basic cause of depression

Heru,

As you know I have been there and I am still recovering. Please speak with your doctor to see if you may require a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Please ensure that you have the full support and love of your wife to help through this period.

PM me anytime. I am glad that I reached out for help when I did.



Michael

Kia ora bro,

My prayers are with you. Here's something my mother always says to me when I'm in a dark place.

Te tiro atu to kanohi ki tairawhiti ana tera whiti te ra kite ataata ka hinga ki muri kia koe. (Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.)

Take care bro

2) if it is unsolvable - can you get past it?

Suffering is part of existence - it lets you know you're human.The strong deal with it the best way possible, the weak falter under pressure. From reading you're posts (I don't know you personally, but would definitely love to make acquaintance one day), you're anything but the second category. Keep your chin up, things will always get better!
Thanks Pal!!!
I believe someday I will through this problem.

I carried a lot of baggage around with me for about 16 years before discovering from my doctor that I suffered from clinical depression.

At that point I realised it wasn't my mind, it was the physiology of my brain that made me "different". It helped alleviate my burden no end.

Buddy, thanks for the PM.
That's help me a lot.

You need to determine whether you have have clinical depression. I understand you would not want to publish the details of your 'problem' on TRF.
Find someone you trust that is qualified to help you. Depression is an illness like any other and can be overcome in many different ways.

By the way United won again...
UNITED always wins lately, Sir.

I think that you need professional help.

The problem started on a specific Date............December 8th. to me that would suggest that it was something that you could not avoid.

Jim gives you some good advice from his troubled past.

Everyone goes through tough times,I think that it is sometimes a sign of strength to seek help.

My PM box is always open to you.

Your Friend, Mike.
Thanks Mike!!! I think time for me to looking for proffesional help.

Heru:
I regret to know you are having such a bad time.
You are a young man, have a charming young wife, and two beautiful children as per the pictures you have shown here.
Have faith in God, and go Very Fast to see a Doctor you have faith in. Your family doctor can direct you to an specialized one. Just have a talk with him.

Problems like you have, are not uncommon in our complicated world of today. You are not alone. Just need adequate help, counsel, and may be some medication, but you must be sure you´ll overcome this with a little patience, and correct treatment. Believe me!
You´ll also need the help of your nice Family, and I´m sure they will understand and gladly stand behind you.

God bless you, and help you to go through this stage of your life. You´ll make it pal!
Best cordial regards, Abel
