My apologies if I have mistakenly sent this message before. It’s been three years since I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder (treatment resistant) and severe anxiety. I’ve been on multiple meds, ECT, and CBT. There has been improvement, not enough to return to work or do volunteer work. My psychiatrist cautioned me that my depression might get worse as winter approaches. It has. I’ve also developed a new problem. I’ve become very sensitive to imagined rejection. I keep thinking that my adult sons, boyfriend, mother, are annoyed with me and are distancing themselves from me. The truth is I have a very loving and supportive family. This feeling of rejection started about two months ago. I scrutinize every text, every conversation for unhappiness with my behavior or actions so I can correct immediately and avoid losing them. Has this happened to you? Will it go away with the change of seasons? Any information or advice would be appreciated.
