Depression post SHTF

[Scythe13]

I can already hear BP's thoughts screaming out loud "It'll be one of the happiest days of my life! Depression.....never!!!" Fair does mate. We're not all that thick skinned.

But other than BP, I think many people will be badly hit by depression post SHTF. Think of this as the scenario.

The crap has hit the cooling device. It happened 2 months ago. There are loads of corpses about. The smell or rot is everywhere. Your friends and family are nearly all dead. Your other half (BP, this is possible mate) has died and you are left alone, in the cold, scavenging for food. Your supplied were found amd your BOL's were torched. As far as you can tell, you're screwed. It has been 2 weeks since you last saw anyone. The person you last saw was your better half. Just before she died of the flu. Your radio does not work. You have seen no life except plants, flies, and crows since then. No more plumes of fire. No more smoke at all. No more glow from a fire at night.

How would you feel? What would you do?

I ask this because I'm genuinely forseeing people having the same emotional feelings post SHTF.

When my dad died, I was depressed for 3 weeks and didn't leave the flat. I wasn't eating or drinking properly. It was a living torture. So I considered how I would be post SHTF, if my wife died. No doubt I would downward spiral again. But in that kind of situation, depression could kill you, and that may well be what you'd want by then.

So this got me thinking...would it be worth trying to get hold of antidepressants before TSHTF, just in case myself, or another member of the team, gets all down and depressed?

My personal thoughts on this are....DAMN RIGHT! Anti depressants will be critical for the first few weeks/months, after the poop has coated the fan.

Thoughts and experieces please.
