Guess I might as well share publicly. Here are the links I passed along: LWer therapist, depression 1, depression 2. Also maybe should have linked to this. Personally I found self-administered TDCS very helpful for my depressed feelings. I can provide more details if people are interested, and lend a device to folks who live in the Bay Area.
(If you're depressed, feel free to process these links at the rate of one per day. Sorry, I'm an information packrat.)
Hi!
For a while now I've been having troubles with my life.
Today it got worse, likely I will feel better in a week, but problems related to a person I love and searching for the purpose of my life will not be solved, just ignored as I did for a couple of years now.
First thing to do would be to talk it out with friends or therapist (and I am now willing to spend money on it).
But the biggest problem is that they will probably not understand it, I tried to discuss it with a friend and got sympathetic and emotionally helpful advices that nonetheless don't contribute to solution at all.
I know that I will never let me kill myself (at least for anything less that amount of money that I can make in a lifetime), so I am lingering on with my life. Still I need help.
Conversations like this should not be held in comments, and I don't really know what kind of help am I expecting to get.
Sometime ago I saw an ad of therapist from lw that can council via Skype - please give me a link if you know anyone like that.
