> At this point, I don't know if I am going to make it through the Christmas season. I am already getting more depressed. My meds are not working very to begin with. But during the holiday season I wish I could add another med that would just get me through the season without wanting to cry all the time. It has been ten years since my dad passed away and still miss him so much especially at Christmas. Plus then there all the day to day family stuff to deal with. My mum's Alzheimers is getting worse and I am finding it harder to look after her.

Me, too, Maxime. I am more functional this year than in recent years past, but became really frightened that everything was going to collapse as it's done before.
Can you try to frame how you're doing right now in terms of where you've been before and see a improvement?I miss my Dad at this time of year too, and it's been a long, long time since he's been gone. Many years. At this point I don't know if I'm sugar coating my memories or not :-(
Thinking of you,
