It’s coming back

I haven’t posted in a while, I got help for my issues and I was getting better. I was doing really good for a bit, but it never seems to last... this past month has practically torn me down and ripped me up. I lost my job, and as if that wasn’t stressful enough my boyfriend and I had been fighting 24/7 and it just made everything so much worse, and now I’ve lost him too and it just feels like everything is falling apart, like the depression is calling me trying to pull me back into a place I can’t escape from. I had to move back in with my parents and I still can’t find a job. Is life ever going to get easier?

I went through your exact same scenario about 25 years ago. Lost job, husband left me (with a 2 year old to be fully responsible for), moved back in with my Mom, then she moved us out so her new much younger boyfriend could move into my (deceased) father's house. I felt like every rug got pulled out from under me. It was hard, but I had to be strong for my son. Now I'm remarried to a wonderful man (we've had bumps in the road - so not perfect), my son is a happily married 30 year old father. Those bumps in the road back then made me so much stronger than I ever thought I could be. I didn't even know about medications and therapy back then. I'd be a mess without both. Stay strong and it will get better!

Thank you, I just recently started taking meds because therapy didn’t seem to help.
