Yuck! That doesn't sound dramatic, feeling as though you're drowning in this situation. That sounds like the standard reaction in a depressed person.
Ten years ago, I left a man I'd been living with for years. He wasn't sure he was ready to be married, he didn't want kids, he wanted more of a commitment from me with less of a commitment from him, and I was ready to move on. Within one year, he had married another woman, and they were expecting their first child. Life is like that sometimes. (The part about his giving me chlamydia and making me sterile is another story...)
Anyway, my question for the universe when this sort of thing gets to me is this: "I don't know who wrote the melodrama of my life, I just want to know if I get residuals of the gross?" It may be stupid, but it does make the humor more accessible to me.
Also, don't sell yourself short: if you do as much as it sounds like, you sound as though you're doing a lot for yourself right now. Don't let the depression lie to you: you are doing enough for yourself right now. You'll be able to do more later, but for now, you're doing pretty dang well if you ask me.
Take care, and best wishes.
