Thanks, Rigby.
Well, I have plenty of "reasons" to be depressed: yes, I am breaking up with my boyfriend (although I think it's for the best), my cat is very sick (he's been in the process of dying for a long time, but I feel we could be at the end, and it's very, very sad), my parents are leaving the country for six months in the morning, and I'm generally in a state of limbo. But none of those things feels like it's causing my depression, although each might be contributing to it. It feels kind of biochemical. (I went on the pill a month and a half ago and my T thinks that could be the cause -- I just don't know. I'm furious if it is.)
I don't know what to do. I'm tempted to fire my T tomorrow (you've inspired me) but can I really lose my boyfriend, cat, and therapist all in one week (not to mention the parents leaving the country)? What would I have left? I'm terribly frightened of where I'm going to end up. This cat thing is going to be so hard.
