I have suffered from depression and been on medication for many years. It sounds like our symptoms are very much alike. It may be an isolated event or a continuing problem. Whining is GOOD. It means you are in touch with your feelings are letting others know that you need their support. All families have these ups and downs that are so very painful. We have had some very serious situations in our family that were devastating. Through out these painful times the lesson learned is that I must follow my own path and understand the consequences. And that means living with my decisions. When I finally learned to let go of trying to make things right for others and began doing what was right for me, life became so much more managable(sp) No it was not easy or without pain. But it was right. Lastly my Dr. suggested that I find ONE thing to do each day. Brush your teeth, wash your face, dust. That one accomplishment can feel like you just won first place. And most important . . . know that you have a place here to go in the worst of times where people want to help you feel better. Feel free to pm me if you just need someone to listen to you or vent. God bless you.
