Ongoing mild depression

Forum: Anger, Frustration & ADHD

Spoke to a friend who has also divorced an (hers just probably) ADHD partner after a long marriage. Like me, she feels she has little appetite for life now more than a year after divorce. 

We agreed there’s exhaustion. There’s difficulty shaping life into something that makes sense. There’s a fine balance between needing to add more people and activities to life and not quite being able to handle more. There’s sadness and loss of confidence.

Does anyone have a prognosis for this mild depression that seems to have taken hold? I know what needs to be done to rebuild life, but an overwhelming tiredness stands in the way.

It feels like a disease more than anything else. How long might it last?
