Hello. I have made many mistakes and have had really bad judgment. I have made decisions that have been horribly regretful. I left my husband and split apart my family and have been in the worst depression for over a year now because of it. We are going to get back together and my own depression was part of the decision in leaving him. I am on permanent disability which is what I thought I wanted do to my bipolar and severe depression. However, I am on a limited income now, no social outlet and am not sure what my purpose is outside of my family. However, I know if I go back to work, I will have to deal with a whole new set of problems. Depression effects our subjective reality which means what we are feeling and seeing as reality is often not what is really going on. The best advice I got was to not say anything right away when we feel stuff, even if we are 100% positive that this might be what we need to say. Do not make any decisions right away that are important. Give it time.
