What people have said. It astonished me the first time I took antidepressants and went from "the world is grey" to two weeks later when I woke up and went "hey I'm me again". If they work it is awesome. And situational depression doesn't sound at all out of line atm for you.

Anyway, comforting hugs and energy toward the best outcome all around.

I learned from experience, that seems to surprise most folk. In my case, I'm most likely to fall apart IMMEDIATELY AFTER a period of great or sustained stress. There's a survival mode that kicks in as "I can't waste time falling apart NOW" and when things start to feel under control, that's when depression or a physical illness happen. (Remember that Tammy was born 4 days AFTER my Fred's mother & niece died). It sounds like you've mostly worked the details of coping with Colleen's situation -- for me, this would be exactly the right time to shatter.

From what I've heard, and experienced, that's fairly common.
