One of the things I have learned recently about my depression is that sometimes positive experiences in life can bring about symptoms. My doctor said that it is because we see how good things can be and that leads us into a downward spiral. Thats what happened to me. I told my boss I wanted to train for a promotion in a job that I don't stress over( positive ) and my husband and I are planning a trip to Italy for our 10th anniversary ( also positive ). Maybe the fact that your stepdaughter is behaving better and you are working on your depression has caused the new symptoms? Either way, try to stay positive and keep doing all the great things that you are doing to help with your depression. |You are definitely on the right track.
