Hi Pinkest ~ I agree with Byzantine ~ You did allow yourself to be human! We ALL get very bad news at one point or another -- and it does put us in a very bad space. We'll cry about it and then we'll be blue for awhile. If you continue with depression for too long, then you need to talk to your doctor about it. But if it's just normal 'sadness' after hearing bad news, you're just NORMAL.

Some feelings can be torturous - they can really hurt. We should only get concerned if they continue for an extended length of time. Do you think that's what's happening? If so, please talk to your doctor or therapist. You may need an antidepressant. And if you're already on one, you may need a change - we become used to them after awhile, and they need changing to a different one.

I wish you the very best - I know how awful depression is. I've battled it all my life. God bless and please take care of yourself. Hugs, Lee
