Thanks so much Lenina. I think what's making any transition so difficult is because I've been dealing with sever depression for many years...the combination is so hard. My psychiatrist isn't sure what to do because she's not sure if it's the depression I'm already being treated for, and what's the situational depression I'm dealing with. I will look for that book you've mentioned, I have read "For Widows Only" and it did help with knowing I wasn't crazy in the feelings and emotions I was going thru after my husbands death. I need to try to find something that deals with grief while already being depressed. I just can't seem to find which way is up. The one thing I know I have that is a positive and I'm proud of myself for, is the fact that after going thru all this I am still sober...I'll have 6 years November 5th.
Thanks so much for checking in on me...it means so much to me.
