> And as much as it stinks that you might be headed towards depression, along with your worry about your parents and your work stuff (am I forgetting anything?), I'm glad you are recognizing it. Does that help? Any stuff that has worked in the past? If not, I know you know somewhere in that amazing heart of yours that it will pass.
>I think it does help. I have always been less than resilient, and it takes me a long time to respond to change. But my usual pattern is to have an increase in my anxiety disorders under stress. I've had three major depressions in my life, and two had a big hormonal component. At 42, I think I'm a few years off from having that again. Although I'm not really sure I'd rather have increased OCD than depression.
