released to my custody, if we stayed with my mother. We had another hearing after that, and now they have granted custody to my mother. Aside from my place
being a mess, I don&#39;t understand why they did this. I&#39;m having a very difficult time with this. Although I am still living with my mother and baby, I

			<description><![CDATA[ But I guess now is the time.
<br>
I&#39;m 26, and I think I might be depressed. I go through these cycles when I&#39;m just..neutral.
<br>
But then I&#39;ll get sad and feel even more worthless than normal.
<br>
I should be happy: I have a job and a home and a family.
<br>
I just feel so empty inside all the time and I don&#39;t know what to do anymore.
<br>
I&#39;m not the type of person to ask for help, but now I am.
