What you are talking about is situational depression. Where you know the situations that are causing it. If there are solutions that you think that will resolve it but are out of reach you may need to rethink it.

My therapist is always telling me that we often feel trapped and out of control and think we have no choices but in reality we really do have lots of choices they are just not the ideal ones we have in mind.

Yeah...I concur. But I am a rational 63 year old that always finds my way out of troubled situations. I guess it's all being coloured by the fact that I can see the sand in my hourglass accelerating its' way out the bottom! Still...when you are at an impasse...and you can actually see it...but your are damned if you do and damned if you don't...what??? Where do you go??? I am pulling out my hair over this.....

well...not really.
