Thanks to all for your help in clarifying this. I did take the depression "screener" as recommended and was surprised to see that I did fall into the range as per the screener.
One thing that has made me feel better is knowing that I am not just over-reacting and others understand that I don't have to be totally nonfunctional to feel this way. I guess it validated my feelings in some way.
I will look at the talk therapy at some point, too. My doctor suggested I try meds first to get to the point where I could do the therapy piece.
Thanks so much for your input. I really appreciate it.
