Thanks for your insight. I've been seeing a psychologist for over 2 years now. I'm going to talk to my doctor about antidepressants very soon.

@thomasappell0 That is a good idea. I lost my wife 5 months ago and the grief is overwhelming at times. I was already on antidepressants for two earlier clinical depressions and was at risk for another. My doctor changed my medication and it has been very helpful. I still have so much pain from grieving but don’t feel hopeless like I did. It sounds like it would be helpful to look into that. They usually take a few weeks to start helping. Good luck to you.
