Wow, the bottom dropped out, but your life kept going. Well, you can do your best to keep up with it for a little while, but try to take some time for yourself too. It sounds like a good opportunity to tell someone that you're not feeling well. You don't need to say why, just say that you're not up to it. Do something that usually makes you happy, like playing with a kitten, or going to the park. Just trying to visit the scene of the last happiness might make things bearable in the short run. Call your friends and make a play date. Rent a movie. Force yourself to pick up a book and read at least a page before you decide you don't want to. Depression is *not good*. It's the cessation of good. But it's not the cessation of time. Time can change anything. Hang in there, because a better time will come.
