I don't really know where else to turn, but I'm really concerned for my mom. I think she is depressed but she is in denial. When I try to tell her to get help she says she doesn't need it. She has a lot of stress at work, and she's had a lot of trouble dealing with the loss of both of her parents in the last five years. She has told that thing she fears the most is losing someone close to her and think it is negatively affecting the relationship she has with both me and my sister. I'm 22 and my sister is 19, and I think my mom has a hard time treating as the adults we are because she so fears losing us in a way. As for work, she is four years from retirement and I worry about her ability to get through four more years in such a stressful environment. I really hope I am wrong, and I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with my own s--- while worrying about my mom. If she is depressed then she will only get worse if she doesn't get counseling. I just don't even know how to deal with this. I want so badly to be wrong but a feel deep in my gut that my worst
fears will only be confirmed. -
The best thing you can do is keep trying to get her to counseling. Even just "see how you like it," or "just to try it out." Stress is hard, and being depressed makes it worse. You know what's best for her now.

I don't know any way to comfort you or help with this. I'm very sorry.
