I see Tyson Fury and he looks to have beaten depression. I want this, but I don’t know how, I know all the things that are supposed to work but they don’t for me like exercise, socialising, hobbies, medication &amp; therapy.

I’ve been in and out of depression for the last 12years and I’m now in my longest stint ever roughly a year and a half now. In that time I have lost my mother suddenly to covid, became estranged to my father and suffered serious business set backs due to covid. There was a brief few months when my daughter was born and that pulled me out of it for a while, but it didn’t stop me slipping back into depression again.

I hate to say it but the only thing keeping me here is my wife and children. I’m feeling less useful everyday. Depression is stopping me working and as a result depleting my savings to the point where I worry if I will be able to support my family at the level I have done in the past, if it gets to a stage where I cannot support them financially I think maybe they would be better off without me …. Im trying to fix myself before this happens and I would like to know if anyone has been through a similar situation?
