Feeling depression

All I can say is it started on the 28th November because of something that happened to family member. They suffered a psychotic break and was violent (noone was hurt, including her, just the house took the brunt of it all) Now after she is back from hospital everyone is pretending it didn't happen. You can't put a bandage on a broken leg. I can't forget the fear they caused. I'm also just feel frustrated about still being in survival mode. 40 and Single, unemployed sometimes I feel like my life hasn't started yet. Right now it feels like I'm walking on a tight robe. People pleasing, Anxiety, walking on eggshells.

I'm feeling stronger today motivated and determined to get through this depression thing. My feelings were validated by someone else in my house. This will not break me, it's temporary

@PrettyUnique2025

Psychotic breaks are hard to fully comprehend, but are delusions and needs some level of grace. 

Maybe for your own healing though, getting out of that environment may be a good idea? 40 isn’t old, 70+ maybe. You have lots of time to recreate yourself if you’re not happy where you are now. Hope that helps some.

Yes, it's mostly about the fact that family is pretending it didn't happen not the psychotic break. It's not something they can control. And getting out of the environment would be nice but it's easier said than done.
