HaveHope, You are grieving, for so many reasons. The symptoms are all so familiar to me.

I do know for a fact that grief and depression share many similar symptoms. If you find your mild state of depression doesn't lift within a few weeks, you should consider seeing a doctor about it. Situational depression happens, and it's not usually as severe or as long-lasting as major depressive disorder. But, while you're in the midst of it, it can be a small hell. So please, do not beat yourself up if this turns out to be the case.

The sooner you seek assistance, the sooner you will feel better.

It's such an anxiety-provoking time to be alive right now; it's no wonder that lately, the numbers have been on the rise for depression and anxiety.

Try to resist giving him any opportunity to be nasty to you in any way, even in his little subtle ways. You are very vulnerable right now.
