I’m feeling depressed today, I’m visiting a friend for her birthday. I’m under allot of stress right now. I am in the middle of a ACS case and I’m in court to regain custody of my son and I am breaking up with my boyfriend as well. I think the combination of events are causing the depression. I welcome any and all advice on how to get over this hump.

Reading just the titles to most of your posts leads me to believe that you have given that man too many chances, and regardless of an uncertain future, he will not be a positive and supportive partner.
Depression is caused by holding onto the past. Continuing to relive the painful times. The biggest act of self love is self forgiveness. Nothing from that time in your life can be changed. You can only work on today. No matter what, your actions today shape your life tomorrow.

That's a lot on your plate I remember in the beginning I had so much on my plate Depression was definitely part of it but we're we work out of it we keep asking and not drinking and all the sudden some of our problems go away and new ones replace them and oh my gosh I'm not drinking again
Try a mammalian reset; either take a cold shower for 30 seconds, or soak your face in a sink of cold water.  I take a cold plunge every morning for 5 minutes upon waking; helps to reset the nervous system, help me focus on what I need to accomplish.
God will help you heal but you have to stay strong and give it time. You have to know your worth. I was never taught boundaries in relationships and I’m still trying to figure that out. I have kids too. Think about your son. He needs you more than any significant other could ever need you. Stay strong and take care of yourself because let me tell you nobody else will. We only get one shot in the game of life.
