I was diagnosed with depression about 6 months ago. I changed medications and thought I was doing much better, but I have recently been feeling very down again. I went to my therapist today to talk about it. I am in college so I go through changes in my living situation and my lifestyle quite frequently. Anyway when I went to the therapist a couple of days ago I found that I just could not stop crying or getting upset. Any time he asks about anything that might be a problem or about something I may be feeling, I find my eyes tearing up and it's hard to speak. The same thing happens when my parents text or call me or ask me about things. I get so upset just thinking about how I feel and when someone asks or suggests it I can't even talk about it. It makes it hard to go through my day if my mom texts me and asks how I am feeling today and I suddenly feel much worse. My therapist was really concerned that I kept crying even towards the end of the session and after he had reassured me, and I couldn't explain why but I just kept getting upset. Does anyone know why this is so touchy for me, or do you have a similar problem? I know obviously it's upsetting to talk about something like depression especially when it's your own, but it seems like it's excessive for me.
