Mental and Physical Well Being

[margie]

Anticipating the loss of someone dear and special has done a number on my well being.  I cry everyday, sometimes sob for several minutes.  Later on, I am exhausted and needing sleep.  My depression seems to linger.  My therapist needs to know, as I wonder if more meds are needed, not just cognitive therapy.
