I think that depression like what you experienced is a message. When we get depressed what do we do? We retreat in one way or another. We leave whatever is bothering us whether it is conscious or not. That is a chance to reflect on what is going on before you go back into life. A chance to figure out how to react.
I think that is exactly what I did. The initial "Slammed" and mentioning the meds was my initial reaction and thinking out loud. If you read the whole thread you will see that I did reflect on what the cause was and processed it with a good result. When you initially get slammed with something you don't sit back and reflect and figure it out all at once. It is a process. I went through that process in public right here. There are a number of posts that explain the process I went through.

I do not think it is fair to suggest that just because my initial reaction was slammed that I should have immediately been able to sit back and reflect. Of course it was telling me something and it took me a few days to figure out and process. All good.
