I'm in a similar situation. I am a caregiver in my job as well. I do not live with a parent but they are both aging and I'm considering moving back to my hometown to care for them. I went through a divorce last year and made a 200 mile move this summer to a new city and new job. Since the move (and a a couple months prior to) I have been slipping in and out of depression. Right now all I want to do is isolate. I run and workout, and if I didn't I don't know where I'd be. I have stopped socializing and even made excuses the past two weeks to not go visit family. I do see my x occasionally and I believe this is one reason for the depression. Even though I am having a terrible time getting over him, being with him makes me more depressed. But I cannot seem to let him go completely. I have plans to start work on my masters in January but if I don't get ahold of myself those plans will go by the wayside too.
