A few weeks ago, a woman in the neighborhood killed her baby. I didn't know them personally. I just saw them outside once in awhile. When I found out what happened, I couldnt stop crying and thinking about it. I was angry that it happened the way it did, or even happened at all. I try not to think of it now but when I do, I just feel sad, depressed, sick, like life is useless, to put it nicely. I've been told that this woman was sick and has reached out for help but didn't get the help she needed. It still makes me mad that she did it, even when I try to keep her mental status in mind.
I was diagnosed with depression and am on meds/therapy. I tried talking about how it makes me feel but the convo never gets far because I don't feel like I have a right to be this sad. I feel like what happened just set back all the work I've done this past year regarding my depression (diagnosed a yr ago).
Am I wrong for feeling this strongly? What can I do to stop it from setting me back?
