Severe Depression Help

I am a 20 year old male living in arkansas. The past couple of years for me have been very difficult. First, my father was diagnosed with a rare and deadly form of cancer my senior year. He has been fighting it these past 2 years and is now on the last chemo available. He is my hero and an exceptional man as well. He would give anything he owned to help someone. Then I lost 2 people I was very close to; one being my grandfather, and the other a close friend. My mother has had a difficult time adapting to all of these changes as well. She works full time as a dental hygienist while still trying to take care of my father. She can hardly sleep anymore and has been suffering from arthritis and all kinds of pain lately. Our house and cars are having some pretty severe issues that need to be dealt with and require a substantial amount of money. With all of this going on, we are in the middle of a large money crunch. I feel utterly helpless, unfocused, and overwhelmed because I feel like everything is falling apart. I am a full time student studying to become a doctor at a highly regarded college. My grades have suffered from all of this, and I cannot seem to get rid of this worthless feeling. I try my hardest to help my family in any way possible, whether it be working or coming home to help out. I am a christian but have had a difficult time understanding why God has put us through so much. Any prayers or advice are greatly appreciated, thank you.

If you are really depressed, such as not wanting to get out of bed in the morning and then actually staying in bed, please find a doctor you can talk to. Psychologists are the best, they listen and don't prescribe any meds for you to get hooked on. And remember that all we have to do is look around us to find someone who has it so much worse than we do. I know it is so easy to fall into that self-pity trap, but try very hard to understand that you are growing up in a very hard world. It always has been. God does not promise us anything other than if we have faith and try to be good we will go to Heaven. While He does watch over us, it is up to us to make our lives better. Take action!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will truly make you feel better than setting around feeling sorry for yourself, I do not mean that in a bad way, just a realistic one. Good luck, you are in my prayers and God's hands. Jen
