Hi Dani and welcome (back)
First, depression isn’t picky who it targets - yes there are often triggers but anyone could become ill with it, whether there seems to be a reason or not. I have a charmed life compared to others yet I’ve been fighting this illness for 30 years. Please don’t beat yourself up thinking you ‘shouldnt’ feel this way.
Second, as a mum to a 21 year old, it wouldn’t matter if she was in the next room or the other side of the world, I would want to know if she was struggling. My job, as her mum, is to be someone she can laugh with through all the great times and someone she can lean on through all the tough times. Talk to your family!
I know how it feels to have a beautifully clean, tidy house and then people come home and leave shoes and coats everywhere except in the storage bought for holding them, bread, milk, crumbs all over the kitchen, beds left unmade etc etc. It makes me want to tear my hair out. But the big thing I have learnt over the years is it’s never intentional and usually isn’t laziness. It’s just they don’t ‘see’ the mess and it doesn’t bother them. It’s not that they purposefully don’t care that I’ve tidied the house, it’s just not on their radar itms
When was the last time you saw your doctor? Sweetie, there are dozens of different ADs out there and sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find the right one for you. Please don’t dismiss them all because 2 haven’t suited you .....
