> How do I deal with my feelings? Should I seek professional help? Simply yes to question 2, as others have said. Feelings are real and need to be managed, just like anything else. Depressive feelings will slowly (or quickly) spill over into all areas of life and sap the light away from everything you love. At 37, I have a job that pays the bills for my family, allows us to save adequately, and gives me time throughout the week to tend to the things that I want to (family, gardening, video games, p much in that order these days). I've also been through 3 anti-depressants before finding one that worked. My goal is to get to a point in life where I can titrate off of it. The dose is low and my therapist says it shouldn't be hard, but not to be rushed. Feelings do a lot of psychic work, good and bad. The body keeps the score. Find balance.
