I have been a total grump these past few days - ready to bite someone's head
off - , which sometimes happens at the beginning of a relapse into the
depression. I am praying this is not the case. My father passed away 2 weeks
ago. Maybe I am just still reacting emotionally from that?

Oh Sandy, I'm sorry to hear that your father passed away. I would think
that could definitely have a lot to do with an oncoming depression. Very
often when something like that happens we are on automatic pilot at first
because we know mentally there is so much that has to be taken care of so we
push back the emotions and do the things we have to do. Then a few weeks
later it hits emotionally. At least that is how I seem to react in those
situations. I was like that when each of my parents passed away - just
barely getting by and doing the things I had to do but a few weeks later I
fell apart.

Do you have someone there you can talk to? We really need some kind of a
support system during those times. Talk to your Pdoc too if you can - he
may want to make a temporary adjustment in your meds. Also be extra kind to
yourself - that is something we often forget. I'm not much help but you
know you can always get your feelings out here.

Jenny

I am so sorry to here about your father, a death in the family is
always hard to deal with, so don't beat yourself about it. You can be
grumpy if you want, just talk to someone don't let it get to you. Like
Jenny says you can always get your feelings out here. Take care and
lots of luck.
