Going Through both Grief and Depression

Lately I'm realizing more and more that while depression is unfortunately an ever-present force in my life (either in the foreground, or lurking around somewhere within striking distance)....now I am also in a state of grief over being betrayed ~ "dumped" by the woman I called my "Best Friend". So overwhelming to deal with both simultaneously. While they obvious intersect in many ways, it feels so very complicated....and confusing....and sad

oh, so sorry you're going through this, whimsy! I know it's a double-whammy and the depression makes anything stressful all the more difficult. I wish you the best!

Thanks so much Suki....means a lot

Whimsygirl...that has to be tough. Sending warm thoughts and lots of hugs your way. Hope you get to feelin better soon.

Thanks so much....your kind words mean a lot to me Just taking it day by day, and finding a very kind counselor to work with is such a blessing

Yes it sucks to already have depression and then have to deal with betrayal and grief. I'm so sorry your going through this and sending hugs and prayers your way. Hang in there, Anjelmarie

Thanks anjelmarie. Your kind words are so much appreciated. And yes...."sucks" is a perfectly good word for it.

I understand the additional stress-depression, grief, loss, betrayal. I am living it, too.

Thanks so much for your kindness. I'm so sorry that you're going through all this too, and I pray you find some comfort as soon as possible....
