Balance is hard for all of us to achieve. Even people who don't have depression, etc. can become down and lose self-esteem, especially with the situational things you describe. I encourage you to hang on, and stick to it.I think even when we are on a "good" regimen, we still have ups and downs, they are just less radical, and more manageable.
Sitting in the house all day doesn't sound like much fun. Can you sit on the front porch? or in a park or with a friend who you could invite over? Or, have someone over for lunch or dinner?
I also agree with the posters who said counseling can be a real asset to gaining more balance. I find having a place once a week where I know I can be "real" is very important to me.
This board can also be a real help. It has gotten me through some rough times. Hope you will be ok! Keep posting.
