I totally agree that normal life events impact me more. I can be feeling relatively good (which isn't really that good) and if the slightest thing happens I'm back to being severely depressed. An example: my LTD company called to ask for my family doctor's records and I totally flipped out - hysterical, suicidal ideation, etc because I knew it would delay my claim. I totally overreacted. If my son does something minor - I yell and scream so my husband has taken over dealing with him. It's a terrible, viscous problem for me.

Thank God you and your family are ok. I hope you can get past the depression quickly.
