too much time and distance

[gunny]

Hello 25,
Thank you for your perspective. My IC actually suggested meds a couple of months ago, but I have resisted using them until just very recently. As she explained things, short term depression brought about by a traumatic event, i.e. situational depression, will often resolve itself over a couple of months, but if the classic signs of major depression start to settle in, you can easily slide into a case of major depression. There seems to be a very fine line.

In retrospect, I should have probably started on a program 4 months ago, I would have been in much better shape to DB with my w while she was here. As it was, I found it almost impossible to stay constantly upbeat, had some backslides, which I beleive hastened her departure.

Iam now on second week of meds, some slow improvement, I know that it normally takes 2-4 weeks.

Thank you for the 2x4, it was foolish on my part to resist the common sense approach.
