Hi ewriter,
Thank you for your post, and for finding EmpowHER. I'm not a doctor, and I can't diagnose, or tell you what to do. All I can do is share my experience with depression (https://www.empowher.com/user/2186/dashboard/history?page=28), refer you to some resources that may be helpful, and give advice on next steps.
Here is a group on EmpowHER about depression. You may want to sign up, and share your story:
https://www.empowher.com/groups/Depression
Here are suicide resources:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org (800) 273-8255 (TALK), or (888) 628-9454 (en Espanol)
Crisis counseling: (800) 999-9999
or Google: International Suicide Helpline Numbers
Contact any and all of them for assistance. Contact emergency services (911 in the USA) in a low point if you feel you may do harm to yourself. I hope you can thank yourself later for being so on top of this.
Here is a link to the EmpowHER Groups page. There are two breast cancer groups there. Share your story, and start actively moving forward. You may see a difference in other aspects of your life:
