Depressed Dear,

You are doing so many things right, you've talked to your husband, you've got an appointment, you take a time out (although I'm not sure about the closet thing, people are coming out of them, to go in seems pointless...just a joke) and you are still functioning. Having a plan and a backup plan is important. Many great suggestions. Take this forum on your trip, if you aren't feeling well and your relatives ask, tell them the PHYSICAL feelings that go with depression. I bet when you stop and think about it, you'll have quite a few and then maybe you can be excused to go lie down for a bit. Plan B, Any Dr. can write for antidepressants. Just changing them from one to another can help. Try your regular doctor or ER if you don't think you are handling things well. As always, just do what's in front of you. That's all that is required.
