Original threadI didn't respond to the comments, I just couldn't.I drove to California to be with my wife and son, from the 15th to the 18th, got into a car accident about 30 minutes before getting there. Everyone is okay. I got home to her parents house and just held my son. Every day there was great, I saw my family, I got to show off my beautiful son. He even got to meet his great great grandfather.I also took the time to visit the burial places of a few of those I love who passed before me. It gave me time to reflect. I got home and things were bad again, the fear of being sued over the car accident was getting to me and I wondered if suicide was covered in my life insurance.My wife came home two days after me, but had to go back today. She is helping her parents move here.I visited a treatment center and had a psych eval done. I have been diagnosed major depression and PTSD. The RN believes the PTSD was caused by an incident at work where a man tried to cripple/kill me, but I suspect it was only exasperated by that event, and may have begun when my father died.I'm alone again for the next two weeks approximately, but I've been given Effexor and a antihistamine used for anxiety and sleep. I do feel a little better, I've only taken three doses and and I think it's starting to work. Though I worry about a few side effects (Excessive yawning, unable to focus, and difficulty sleeping despite being tired, and I think libido issues).On a bright note, I was able to convince my wife to join my in church. She's Mormon and I'm an Orthodox Christian. We took our boy and he stayed quiet for the full 1.5 hr liturgy. The service was great and it brightened my mood. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2Lb2hrg
