Denial of my own depression?
Well my son is doing pretty well in rehab. I have stayed away, and I think that helps. He is realizing what he has done and he is sad, but hey, that's what happens. It looks like he will be in rehab for about 6 weeks, get his GED and then move on to a sober recovery house about 5 hours from home. I think this plan will work because it's obvious that he has trouble whenever he comes home.
My question today is about myself. I had lunch with an old friend today and I told her how i cope with the stress by taking a nap. She wondered if i am depressed. The question took me off guard because I have been doing what I can to stay focused and moving. I am taking an anti-depressant and have been doing so for about 3 years (ever since i went through a divorce). I keep busy and see friends. But I have noticed that I don't want to go out unless I have to. could I be in denial of my own depression? Okay, so I am analyzing myself way too much. Any thoughts?
