Welcome Destiny!
So sorry to hear the load you are carrying at the moment. this forum may be a welcomed help to you, as it is a community of support and people do listen.
Can you explain what CIAO is? I am not family with it, always looking to broaden my horizons.
Therapy, medication, mindfulness, meditation, and loads of distraction hobbies are at the top of list to handle the depression. It took awhile for my husband to come around and be interested in helping with my "healing journey".
My depression's root cause is child abuse. I found a book entitled "Allies in Healing" by Laura Davis; written in question/answer format for loved ones. If abuse is not your root cause perhaps there is a more general book of the same nature. Worth a look.
I hope you continue to post in the forum.
Stay strong.
