my sister has it. she doesnt take any drugs but would use st j wort.
shes self employed / in her early 30's, single and her life probably isnt what she inagined aged 20.
i find if i say stuff to her she gets huffy or gives me a withering look as to what do oyu know.
she expects people to call her to ask how she is and i thik she shouldnt really expect anything of anyone as one can be dissappointed. and if she needs to tell someone something she should ask for their ear..instead of being in a mood that i'm afraid to approach and then you get lambasted for not understanding.
she did tell me her depression was caused by single event - her heart broken, about 2/3 yrs after a very short romance. but i sometimes think she gets carried away with her imagination and did so as a child, maybe being let down before is a major impact but i just dont know how to positively handle this....
and i get hthe feeling once a man came into her life then she'd forget she been like this. maybe thats cruel of me. i dont knw
any help tia
