Normally I'd agree with you, as I'm a person totally opposed to meds/procedures if it can be done naturally. And usually I'm fine. In the past I could shake things off. But not this time. I can't sleep well, I'm fidgety, I feel like I want to jump out of my body. I have little interest anymore in doing anything that used to give me pleasure and I have continual feelings of worthlessness. I cry a LOT.
I knew it wasn't going to go away by itself and I knew I needed help this time. So I brought it up with my doctor yesterday. For what it's worth, I also told the therapist last night and I've given both T and Dr. permission to speak to each other.
Yes, it's been a very rough 16 or so months for me. An end to a 27 yr marriage, moving away and leaving behind my sons/grandson/co-workers/friends. And then the positive stressors you also mentioned. I think it's all coming down on me now.
