Question by : What is a good way to get over severe depression?
I have been diagnosed with severe depression for the last six months following years of trying to hide it away.
I left an abusive marriage and am finally facing up to the rape which I was a victim of some years before.
I keep having suicidal thoughts and have made attempts on my life regularly over the last couple of months.
My doctor has upped my medication and tells me this will help. All it seems to do is numb things and make me feel worse.
Anyone know of a way to get thought this without yet more drugs?????
