I'll take a shot, I have a history of depression, my worst episodes were the summer before eighth grade and my freshman year in college. Prozac and Paxil really helped though. And I'm sure that I have undiagnosed Seasonal Affective Disorder. Winter just depresses the shit out of me. Last year I was severely depressed from Thanksgiving to Valentine's day, with it peaking around Christmas. This year was pretty bad too, especially the fact I almost lost my mother a month ago. I'm not on anything right now, but I think I could use something.

Thanks for not making me feel like the only one
You know, maybe it wouldn't be bad to talk to your doctor. They know how to tell the difference between normal grief and actual depression. And (as I'm sure you know) having had depression before makes you more likely to get it again.
I'm really sorry about your mom.
