It's a bit late for me, as I'm still on antidepressants 4 years later. Not to fearmonger, but I was prone to it in the beginning! Situational depression is horrible. But you do lie through it. Oops, Freudian slip! I lived through it. I made all the classic mistakes: left behind friends, great job, support system, adult children. I found that I was mildy depressed after my divorce, during work-related issues, and each time something happened I'd sink a little deeper. I tried to go off of my anti-depressants this past month and I was so, well, depressed! I felt teary about really dumb things.
Sometimes you just have to listen to your body. My bereavement issues have had a profound influence on my psyche. I have learned to love myself, and simply live. I have heartfelt sympathy towards anyone still dealing with these issues.
