This is from one more who suffers from clinical depression. Talk to the dr about it and see what he/she thinks. I am intolerant of most mainstream antidepressants but I do have a great dr and a therapist both of whom I see regularly. That helps me but may not be for everyone. When I was going thru a particularly difficult period, my pastor (who has life experience with depression) helped me more than did the other 2 professionals. When I am down, I put on gospel and old inspirational hymns and that does help but so does walking my dogs and just getting out of the house.
I agree with the poster who talked about circles of control and influence. Your family is either in the middle or outer circle and the only thing you can control there is your own reaction to and actions towards them so let go and let GOD!!! He is in control all the way and all the time. God's blessings on your situation and your stress levels. God bless you also. Chris
