A big change doesn’t sound feasible, but you might see if you can pry loose a few hours a week for something new.
One of my friends told me that meds can help with situational depression (which it sounds like you’ve got), so you might want to check on that, instead of just going with “meds don’t help mild-to-moderate depression”.

InquilineKea wrote off ssri’s because they don’t seem to do much for mild-to-moderate depression in general. If my friend is correct that the drugs can be good for mil-to-moderate depression that has a situational cause, even if the drugs don’t reliably do anything for such depression that seems to happen for no particular reason, then the drugs should at least be investigated further.
Sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear. I understood what you meant, but was interested in what evidence you had and whether you had a theory as to why that would happen. If anything, I would have guessed they’d work in non-situational cases and not situational ones.

Can you expand on that?

No problem. I can check with my friend for details after the weekend.
