Part of a complex PTSD, watch to see if you are giving up on yourself. I have also heard the term reactionary depression. Something happens to trigger you then you give up on yourself because you feel you cannot cope.

The article made me think of the way my mother handled me when I was emotional. She wasn't very kind. She pretty much neglected me. So yea, could be. I do want to give up on myself. Like quit my normal routine, sleep all day, stop going to appointments, hide in my house and stay away from people.
I'm feeling a little better this morning. I did art all night. It just took my mind off of things. So much so that I was able to take my meds today and do my chores.
Thanks for the response!
