Rico,

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to face and battle the demons of depression, especialy after so many years of leaving the issue unaddressed. I too struggled for several years, knowing that things were not right in my life, before finally realizing myself I needed some help. That was several years ago now, but looking back on it, it was one of the best decisions I made in my life.

Suffering from depression is certainly nothing to be embaressed about and neither is getting help for it. I would recommend seeing a counsellor/therapist. Talking to a professional may help you see you life through a different light and you may learn how to deal with your issues while also gaining skills that will aid you in knowing how to cope with future adversities. You can even PM me if you need a recommendation.

And it may also be that you need to be put on some sort of medication. Sometimes depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and anitdepressants can help with that as well.
