C-D, I've been trying to think how I can still best help out in this forum, as a LOT of people gave their time for me. Let me say, I *clearly* can see the connection between this lost friend and yourself. I've been snooping around looking for some bigger answers on the whole depression thing, and something I came across is that depression and grief look (and pretty much are in a way) exactly the same. And, it is often hard to seperate the two, unless you go by the medical terms of "length of illness"...etc. Like, if you lost someone 1 month ago, and are depressed, they will put you in the clinical "grief" catagory. If it is 5 years after you lost someone, then maybe you will end up in the "depression" catagory. Sorry for the length...but maybe your depression and grief are being molded together, and the hurt is even more intense.
Anyhow...regardless....if this goes on..bring it up with your pdoc or doc or therapist, etc.
Best,
Jay
