I agree being depressed does not mean having to take medication. Plus with what you are going through with your Mom, please understand that depression is a normal part of the process of bereavement. Even though your mother has not passed yet, I assume that watching her go through this illness has made you think about the possibility of when she might pass. Feeling depressed is just a normal part of that. It sounds like you are going through so many changes at this time that it would be helpful for you to see a counselor of some sort. You don't have to go just because you are "depressed," but also because you are coping with the loss of your job and your mother's illness. Neither of these things are easy to go through and I wish you luck. Take care and keep us posted.
