>>500The road to recovery is never easy and time doesn't always heal all wounds.
To fully heal, you must confront what ails you. Piece by piece at a time. Deal with one more small part of the puzzle. Just mentally keep tally of the small blotches of darkness left on the picture. Scrub them away, but do not delete them less you numb yourself and forget exactly why you are feeling the way you do.
Avoid anti-depressants like the plague. IT is essentially the same thing. A neurochemical concoction designed to numb pain to the point people don't even realize they exist. Every brain is different, and if neurochemical stimulants are used, it can cause the brain to become to 'used' to certain levels of chemical. Then the body tries to fight it, trying to equalize (homeostasis) only to cause even more issues.
Mental health, as sad as it is, was destroyed in the US by Reagan. Who, overnight, dismantled hundreds of facilities and sent tens of thousands of mentally ill loose on the streets. Nowadays, mental health is completely funded (and in most cases owned) by pharmaceuticals which turns most psychiatric centers into auto-prescription zombie huts.

Face it.
Get beat down by sadness.
Then rise up to face it again.
