into depression after years of not being depressed. nothing to do with chemical imbalance but life in general. in the last year I have had to deal with a few deaths of close family members with more to come soon. not really looking for responses but need to get out why I don't seem to be around so much anymore. first there was my dads cancer diagnosis. then my aunt died suddenly. I was her contact person for drs and hospitals. Then in September I lost my uncle. I stayed with him for the last few days of his life. My brother whom I was close to was killed. We found out the same week that my husbands brother has cancer. tonight they tell us he only has a couple of months left. then we go back to my dad. his dr is trying hard to keep him alive until his great granddaughter is born next month. please can it just stop??? I am not sleeping anymore and the depression is getting bad for me.

Bless your heart ~ I've had a couple of years like that, and it seems like the floor is falling out from under you! I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better. Right now, my sister is in University Hospital here in Michigan, and she's on life support. So heaven only knows what's going to happen there. I saw her today, and she "looked" good, but she's bleeding internally.

I'm so sorry for all your losses -- it certainly seems like there have been an awful lot for ONE family!!! My heart hurts for you -- please know that I'll keep you in my prayers. But please take care of YOU. God bless. Hugs, Lee

Lee thank you so much. I am sorry you are going thru this rough time with your sister too. I will keep you and her in my prayers.

((((Bebop)))))) It's hard enough to lose just one person, one part of you... but to lose so much in so little time! Forget depression - that's hard on anyone. I'm wishing you and your family the best in these times. Do you have someone you can talk to, go out on walks or to a coffee shop or food place with? Thinking of you

That's a lot of losses and stresses in a short space of time. Having your mood affected by it is entirely understandable.

Wow Bebop, that's really rough. I can't say I know what you're going through, but I do know what it feels like to lose close family members. Give yourself as much time as you need to grieve. Thanks for sharing. Many hugs to you.

thank you everyone. someone asked if I had anyone to talk to. none close by. I live so far away from my friends. we are trying now to get together once a month but it isn't about talking about problems or losses but to just be....carefree! laugh and have fun which is what I need alot of right now too.

(((bebop))))....lifting you up...all of us are and sending good energy. I am happy you get together with friends..hope you get to talk to them often, even if you dont get to see them but monthly.
I'm always struck by humans capacity to "stay in the game"...and I know we all have a breaking point. Be good to yourself! So many losses...from my heart in Kentucky to yours in Georgia...many blessings!
