clinical depression has nearly destroyed my life.

Clinical depression has nearly destroyed my life. I'm 52 years old I've been with my lady for many years. We both recently found out we had some mental illnesses. I was diagnosed with clinical depression just recently. Psychiatrist said it was stemming from childhood trauma and abuse. It seems when I get super depressed I bottle it up and then it's comes out and angry flares. This has created a giant problem in my relationship and my life. I am now separated and taking medicine and I think I'm starting to feel better. She also has to do the same with her illness. I am so scared right now. I never knew I had an illness such as this and I never thought the results and destruction in my relationship would appear in my life. Many Angry Words and action have led me down a dark pass. We are trying to reconcile but there has been so much damage. I hope she is strong enough and I hope I am strong enough. I hope both of us will become well and in love again. If anyone can tell me if there's light at the end of all those Darkness I need to know.
