There are many resources available for emotional support, it can be hard to find them though.
First of all there are many online support groups which are helpful to a lot of people. Google Depression Online Support Groups and I"m sure something will come up.
There is often support available over the phone. Again googling depression support should bring up some options with a little bit of research.
If you are looking for face to face support in your area there are a few things you can do. You can talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a support group in your area. Also many cities have "mental health centres" which offer a variety of services including support groups, counseling, etc. Often these services are free of charge, what is offered varies from centre to centre.
To find these centres google the name of your city along with the words "mental health" give them a call, if they do not offer what you need, they will likely be able to refer you to somewhere that does.
If you need any help finding support in your area PM me and I will do what I can.
