Going through a major life transition with limited social support, and I feel like I'm backsliding mentally/emotionally. Since the change, which happened a week ago, first my anxiety peaked and now I just feel distraught and tired. My jaw has been throbbing, my whole body aches, I am having trouble getting moving or concentrating, I dread work, I cry frequently--every day, and on & off almost all day for 3 days of this past week. It feels like depression.

I switched a while ago to seeing my T less frequently (weekly to every other week). I'm not sure if I should see how I feel as a challenge & I should try to use my coping skills on my own, or if I should call T and tell her what's going on, since I'm not scheduled to see her again for close to two weeks. How do I know? What's the difference between being upset & being depressed? And also, can she even help me?
