When you want a hug from the person who is no longer around.
This is exactly as I am feeling. I hadn't recognized it as depression, but it really is. I have two little kids and just started college this week. I have not had a single moment to grieve and I guess I really need to. My kids are with my ex husband (not the same guy) this weekend and maybe all I really need is a nice hot bath, a chick flick, and a chance to cry.
Thanks for all of your responses.
Edited to add: I have been unable to attend a meeting because of child care. I plan to do that this weekend as well.
