The Effect of Depression on Grief

The relationship with Duncan finally came to an end.

Grief enhances depression

I was relieved, but also left broken and hurt.

The grieving process followed, which only enhanced my depression.

I didn’t want to do anything and I didn’t want to discuss what had happened.  I was so embarrassed by all I’d endured.

I was happiest in a darkened room where I was by myself.  I buried my head in books or watching hours of numbness television.  Often I just wanted to sleep and escape the pain and betrayal I felt.

I was grieving and one of the steps of grief is depression.

However, this step is only intensified when you are already depressed.

The time had come to get help.
