One perspective: Depression is corrosive. Your recent struggles with depressed mood did not impair your professional performance, but they did erode your ability to psychically/emotionally handle an otherwise common experience.

Wishing you peace, Teal Bumblebee.

That's so true. Depression might not influence our professional skills but it does tend to make our emotional responses more exaggerated or abnormal. I function slower while depressed but it seems as though every little thing sets me off. It's like putting on a pair of shades that grey-tint everything in your world, making even the brightest colours seem dull. Please know that whatever happened today was not your fault and you did everything in your power given the circumstances - no one could have asked for more. Your work is important and amazing and even more so since you're struggling so much yourself. Take care!
