Grief or the big D

Not sure if it's grief for my Great Aunt that is kicking in, or whether it's the old big depression coming back. Was already starting to slide a few months back, but managed to level it out. Now I feel like i'm in the bottom of the big pit and can't get out.

Been there for months now, and not sure which it is either. One can often be triggered by the other. Do you live in a wintery climate where we lose sun dor days and weeks at a time? If you do, you could have Seasonal Affective Disorder as well. I do, so winters are particularly bad for me. Having a medical or mental health evaluation could help to diagnose you.
I wish I could be more helpful.

thanks rainbowmama. Yes I do live in wintry climate, in the United Kingdom.
I do suffer with depression, had it since i was at least 12, diagnosed when i was 23, on medication for it. So yeah, it's probably one triggering the other off.
