It's also kind of hard to tell the difference between grief and clinical depression, as I'm sure you and your counselor both know. If you're experiencing all of these things - sleep disturbance, loss of appetite, loss of interest - for the first time around the same time as some major changes are happening in your life, I'd think it might be part of the process of reacting to that, though if these feelings don't resolve a little in another month or two, that's a long time to be affected by it so physically. But if you recognize this as the kind of phase that you've passed through before, at other times in your life, it could be depression...

I don't know. I mean, this has been going on for like a month now. So we will have to see how long this is going to last. I suspect that it will not last much longer *cross fingers*. I say this out of ignorance because it's not like I can control any of it.
