Heart Dear Mari

I am starting to wonder if you are actually having a Major Depressive Episode.

It is quite possible that all the stressors you dealt with in the summer finally precipitated Major Depression. Having the stroke, but also the move, especially, and your parents visiting. Plus, the coincident timing of all these things adds another dimension of difficulty in coping.

Remember that Depression can present different ways, and, besides the lack of energy and sadness you are experiencing, your difficulty with focus / concentration and memory issues could well be a symptom of Depression. I don't know what other symptoms you might have, like changes in your appetite or sleep, apathy, anhedonia, lack of motivation, ...?

When do you see your pdoc next? It seems your last visit was dedicated to the neuro results from the hospital. I think it would be good to see him to review your emotional status. Would it be possible to see your pdoc again, very soon, to do this? He might be able to help.
