I am a bag of mixed emotions. I am also trying to sort through numerous things that have contributed to my emotions. I definitely do not feel like myself and am struggling to figure out why I can't regain control. This isn't my first struggle in life so why now. In the course of a few years I have changed jobs, lost several older but important family members, sent one son to college and am in a rut in my marriage. My mood is terrible, I can't fend off depression and I lash out at people. It's a cycle I can't seem to break and it's only making each issue worse.

I'm sorry you're struggling right now sweetie 🥰 Depression is difficult to deal with especially in Winter. Maybe talk to your psychiatrist about updosing your meds or new meds. A therapist can help you sort through your problems.Take care

From other medical issues that come with age. Sorry, I should have added that.
