seeing a psychiatrist after a breakup - normal feelings of loss or mental health issues?
Depression Support / by adventurousCranberry5609

...See more it has been almost 5 months since a breakup, i've been seeing a therapist during this time and i am still dealing with a lot of sadness. i've started feeling depressed most days recently, even if i'm not necessarily thinking about my ex at all. i've definitely had anxiety issues since i was a child, and during certain periods of life (including currently) it gets in the way of my well-being even if i'm using helpful coping strategies. i'm considering seeing a psychiatrist. i wanted to talk to my therapist about this but i didn't have time and unfortunately can't have another session for a month since i'm traveling out of state. i'm concerned that my issues may not seem enough to a psychiatrist since at the end of the day i keep on top of schoolwork and socialize, but everything feels exhausting. i also know that grieving a relationship is normal, so i'm not sure if the depression is "normal" or something that could be improved with medication. my therapist tells me to reach out if i need anything - is this something appropriate to text her about since we can’t have a session for a month?
