I'd just like to chime in that in my case, my depression has never stopped me from being functional. I meet all of my work, social, family and volunteer engagements every week without fail... Some days I hate waking up in the morning, dread driving there and relish days when I can just lie around. I have some more extreme symptoms than you Scorpiosis, but I do think that with all of those things going on you should consider your focus shifting for a while in therapy... And with your birthday having happened, and the holidays and the new year, this can be a stressful time for a lot of people, and that can be addressed without a diagnosis.. my shrink has never given me a diagnosis... but we work on the mood, the thoughts, the patterns and some of the stress I put on myself.

i also feel the same way as you do with accomplishments.. I realized that my life is very accomplishment driven and I am fully functional because more and more obligations keep me from dealing with my feelings and myself. I think it could be difficult to cope with especially if it's new for you to feel this way.. work with your T to decide what you can do to feel better and maybe how to relieve some of the dissatisfaction... and I understand about having biological kids and I think that you shouldn't underestimate the effect of that forecast on you. Have a great weekend. Feel better.
