Thanks for your help everyone . Between all of your posts and my loved ones, I'm ok now. I was acting very dramatic anyhow.

No problem, Eli. We can notice how moods of the mind change & resolve.

However, another aspect of depression you may wish to explore is that of craving or wanting. Buddha taught mental afflictions have their root in wanting, which includes not wanting to experience bad experiences. Not wanting, anger, etc, is also a form of wanting.

Whilst not demonising or condemning 'wanting', instead, you may consider investigating any kinds of wanting related to your depressive mood.

That is, write them down, as a self-exploration. Articulate any wantings & the objects of wantings to yourself.

Kind wishes
