[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 408042, member: 7083"] I have learned from my daughter, and from my own depression, that when you're depressed you are hyper-sensitive and any *perceived* tone is interpreted as yelling. What she is really saying is that it's something she can't handle right now. I agree with JJJ - just spend time with her and let her talk if she wants to, but don't prod. My guess is that without prodding, she will start to open up to you. She needs extra support right now. I describe my darker depressive episodes as struggling to keep my head above water and any extra little thing threatens to bring me under. [/QUOTE]
