How do you increase your self esteem when depressed

[whathehell]

9. Maybe you need to be firm and direct about it..

as in "Look -- I am NOT going to fix it up -- I am clinically depressed* -- The house will have to be your responsibility. Period.

Sometimes one must be very firm with people.

Having said this, I am not a professional, and if you are clinically depressed, you need to be talking to a professional,

not clueless siblings making demands upon you.

I have BEEN clinically depressed, so I speak from experience -- You need to talk to someone who understands

what you're going through and who can help you deal with it.

From experience, I'm strongly advising you not to put it off, as it can get worse without help.
