I have been reading through the posts and decided to introduce myself. I am a single Mom who has been divorced for 2 years. The last few years have been rough. I lost my Dad in 2001 very unexpectedly. There were some legal problems with his estate and my entire step family were no longer a part of my life. Later that year my marriage of 21 years fell apart and I was diagnosed with major depression.
I was able to overcome it with medication and therapy. I started my life over and found a job I love. Unfortunately in the past year I have had to deal with the loss of several people. One through death and one through problems associated with a military deployment. I found myself sinking back into the black hole.
So I have gone back on anti-depressants before it gets out of control. I am scared because I have almost no family left, so I have no choice except to overcome this again. My kids are counting on me and I can't let them down. I can't believe I am having to fight this demon again. At least I was able to recognize the symptoms immediately and seek help. Hopefully, I can beat this again.
