Suggest Cure For Depression

Not sure how or what I am expecting as a answer, because I have been seeing a Psychiatrist since 2008. I take meds for depression, PTSD, OCD, and still fill like I am doomed. She has switched my meds around several times. I seem to do better for awhile, but I have not been able to get back close to the person I used to be. I was a Hair Stylist since 1982, owned my own Beauty Shop, was productive person, loved life, Loved To Laugh. That person no longer lives in me. I fill like I dropped her off on a corner somewhere, she s waiting for me to come back and get her, but I can t remember where I left her. I was in a marriage for 26 yrs.( and dated for 5 yrs. before we got married ) that seemed to be happy. Finding out that it was based on lies broke me. I ve been divorced since 2007. There is just too much to tell about what went wrong. No physical abuse, but plenty of MENTAL. How could I have been so blind, and stupid? He was a very good liar, and very good at being able to hide a different life he was living, and a LONG TERM relationship with another women, and short term relationships with more than a few. When I found out I was broken. I had complete and total trust in him. Had no reason not to, or at least I thought. I lost my home, my business, my profession, my mind ( hospitalized for depression, nervous breakdown ), in a nut shell, MY LIFE. I have never been able to pick up and go on. I stay at home, cry alot, ( STILL), sometimes have to get people to drive for me, don t want to be in public any more, and Public was my Profession. My customers loved me, and I them. gained over 100 lbs. don t want to bathe, (i do, but could care less), don t want to take care of myself, starting smoking a lot, hardly have no kind words for myself or anyone else for that matter. I love my family dearly. I fill like half my life was a lie. I am now 56 yrs. I have only dated 2 men since this, currently none and have not since 2009. I am so lonesome, depressed, sad, i am having health problems, have no energy, I m so very tired of not caring about much, about myself,. Sometimes I fill as tho just going to sleep and not waking would be so peaceful and comforting. I do not have a death wish, I actually have a life wish, I just want one that counts, and to be happy again. Have any ideas???????

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are under a psychiatrist treatment since 2008. I think you are fairly doing well with the given medicines. But you have a problem with your mood. Those issues comes and goes. Mostly out of age related problems. You need to keep your mind active and agile and creative. You know how to do it. Engage in entertaining and creative activities like hobbies (painting, sculptors etc). Also make yourself comfortable and feel always positive.
