Last saw my T on Monday and won't see her again for 22 more days because of my vacation and then hers. I am supposed to leave on Friday for a week at the beach with family but I really don't want to go. The only reason I am is because my kids really enjoy it.
My main problem right now is I am starting to feel low again. I have been crying tonight and have been having the feeling of wanted to just throw my whole life away family, job, everything. I just feel self destructive. It all sucks because I had been doing better for about 2 months. I really don't want to slide again. I wish I had asked my T for a session on Friday before leaving. I just don't know what to do. My family is very triggering for me. I don't know maybe this will all pass once vacation is over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hello Crook. I am so sorry that you are feeling low at the moment and yes, family can be one of the many triggers. Maybe you will feel different when you get there, sometimes it is the thought of doing something and not the action itself. I was having a meltdown yesterday about going out to dinner, but it was not that bad after all. Sometimes we can over anyalise a situation. Don't get me wrong I am not making light of your feelings... but when you have kids you have to push through your own feelings... wont it be worth it to see the kids enjoying themselves.. Best wishes

How about this: There are a bunch of techniques for making depression better that you could practice almost continuously during your vacation. There are quite a few different types of meditations and breathing techniques to try, for instance. You can view your vacation as a chance to test these out and learn which one of these (if any) is effective at keeping you un-triggered. You might find some good ideas here: http://forums.psychcentral.com/4262681-post105.html  - vital
