This morning I woke up still missing my Emma but not feeling such a depressed funk. I take an antidepressant once a day and wasn't about to increase that. I am hoping I might have jumped started my own positive body chemistry by taking the vitamin D. I will ask my Dr about the benefits or possible negatives of extra vitamin D. I just wanted to share this with the community. And say thanks for the positive words. They did help and I didn't feel so alone.
There's considerable research as well as anecdotal evidence showing B12 and Folic acid can help with depression as well.

When my wife came off anti-depressives she found B12 *very* beneficial.

And "Hi" everyone. Not much sleep last night, but doing more-or-less OK so far.
