ygrec it sounds like situational depression. something or an event causes the depression. i was taught some useful tools for this. one of them ironically was if everything fails-situation-my T asked-"what is the worse thing that could happen to you?" i replied death. my T said well we know this won't kill you so you can get thru this.
btw mine feels like a truck on my chest!
