I am so confused.

I have had many years of tragedy, along with both a tremendous amount of deep sadness. Depression, too. Some of my depression was/is situational;some is an inherited mood disorder.
I am sure my sadness/grief exacerbated my depression and my depression exacerbated my sadness.
The question becomes: how to get through it, whether sadness and/or depression?
In my experience, it's critical to hone our coping skills. Meds, therapists can be very helpful and we do well to utilize anything helpful. Meds and therapist don't do it all though. It's ultimately up to us to make sure we are alright, we are functioning in a healthy manner, etc.
It's a pleasure to have you here with us, depressedIRL21! Thank you for this interesting thread!
