donut, I'm so glad you saw your dr for a med adjustment. It shows such good judgment for managing this depression you're feeling.

Antidepressants sent me manic, so my doctor put me on Abilify with my mood stabilizer. Abilify enhances the effect of antidepressants, so maybe it could help you. I was able to get off of them altogether.

I have to agree with PT, there is no "good" time for a child to lose a parent...no matter how poorly you feel your mothering is when depressed (that is a feeling I live with, too), every child needs their mother for as long as they live. He knows you don't feel well, and children are forgiving.

As for the bullying...when you're feeling better, can you talk to a supervisor about it? No one should be subjected to that at work, or anywhere else.
