Really depressed right now?!

I have been struggling with depression for 3 years now but its usually never  extremely bad, but right now it is and its going to sound really silly and stupid to most people but, I'm really depressed right now because I found out that pets dont go to heaven.... Yeah, I know its ridiculous right? It just made me extra depressed because my cats are the only things I have stayed here for, they are the only things I really feel love for anymore, the only things I have left basically. I just need some comfort right now..... I can't even stop crying and again I know it sounds ridiculous and stupid.

That's not why you're depressed -- that may have made you sad, but not depressed.  Logically, and I know there's little logic in depression, you have no idea if there's a heaven, if people go to heaven if there is one, and whether animals go to one if there is one.  Heaven is a belief, not something we can prove, so you can believe anything you want about who or what goes to heaven.  But if you're depressed it's because you have a pattern of thinking that needs to be addressed.  Everyone gets sad, not everyone gets depressed.

I have been diagnosed with depression..... Are you trying to say I do not deal with it?
