Sudden Feeling Of Sadness, Sweating, Throat Tightness. Have Clinical Depression. Scared

hi i am 52 yrs of age, my doctor told me i have clinical depression, i am often crying, some of the times tears can't come, a sudden feeling of sadness, i start sweating,tightness in my throat. my mom died by committing suicide when i was 18 yrs of age, i miss my mom so much. i am scared of telling my kids or rather my family i don't think the will understand and i am also afraid to go to get help (therapy) because i am afraid it will follow me. my doctor prescribed medication to me but it makes me feel worst then i stop taking it.

hello,
Thank you for consulting HCM.As you are in deep depression you may feel that nothing is going to work out but you must know that gradually you can fight with the depression with the healpp of medicines and rehabilitation.As you have a family and children too you need to think about them much more than your past to lead a happy life.Everyone will have problems in their lives and that doesnt mean that they have to be depressed.Meditation everyday with medication is a good choice to get rid of that depression.Activate yourself by doing works which you like the most and keep your mind busy in those things instead of feeling depressed.And keep in mind that nothing is going to happen like your mother unless you stop taking treatment.Take care and Have a good health.Thank you.

first of all i will suggest you please take those medication which your doctor priscribed you .. DO NOT STOP it.. some time leaving psychiatric medication abruptly can cause even more damage.. there is no shame in taking medication for clinical depression.. tell me do you feel ashamed to take medication fpr fever or cough ? no right then why for depression ? clinical depression is also just a disease like fever, cold, cough..you take regular medicine, meet your doctor regularly ,take counselling , read positive books, and whenever you start feeling low engage your self in some physical activity like cooking or anything..and i assure you you will be fine soon. depression is very commom.. you will be alright soon
