Things happen I understand that...ok..but my problem is I feel like its my fault when something goes wrong.!!!Which it always does!!!
Ive really gone down hill in the past two years, I cry alot, always tired, sad all the time and ive gained 47 pds. Which is probably partly from the new drinking habit that ive picked up. But now my marrige is in danger and I just recently lost my insurance, what should I do?Cause I know Im depressed and I wanna try to get help, but i feel embarrassed cause this shouldnt be happening to me!

Don't ever feel ashamed to ask for help. You have already gotten over the first hurdle by recognizing that you may have a little problem.
You have described some symptoms of depression, but it could be something else.
We all, at one time or another, have to accept something different, whether we like it or not.
"This shouldn't be happening to me" I know, but something isn't quite right, and you are very much aware of it.
I know you mentioned that you lost your insurance, but you can seek out the help of Social Services for that. If you can show that you have X amount of dollars within your household, you may be eligible. Also, you may be able to find a therapist that will work with you on a sliding fee scale and you would only have to pay a portion of his/her hourly, (well, 50 minutes, lol) rate.
Now is the time to get some help for yourself as things can and probably will get worse for you. Never be embarrased.

Hi bifaulk, I think it is unfortunate that you feel that way, but I think that you should at least try to stop drinking first and foremost. I know that's a big challenge but when you are able to quit then that will give you more self esteem to feel better to deal with your depression. Are you able to go to AA or something like that?
