Teresа is а 40-yeаr-оld female. She has been divоrced fоr 5 years and her ex-husband has little to do with their daughters. He is behind on the child support which is causing some financial stress. She is an only child and both of her parents died when she was in her early 20’s. She would like to move across the country to be closer to her cousin, but her divorce agreement prohibits her from moving her daughters without their father’s approval and he will not agree to this. She does not feel she has the financial resources to pursue legal solution. Until about one month ago she was a relatively happy and active adult. However, she has noticed for the last month that nearly every day she is extraordinarily fatigued. It is a great effort to drag herself out of bed. She recently received a promotion at her job but that is requiring her to work additional hours. She is less available to her two daughters, ages 12 and 10 and is very worried that she is not being a good mother to them. She no longer has the energy to cook for them, so they are eating a lot of fast food. She also finds that she is always snacking and indulging in her favorite junk foods in an attempt to boost her mood. She has gained 10 pounds in the last month. She is also worried that she is not up to the tasks required by her new job position. She is in constant fear of failing as a mother and failing at her job. She no longer enjoys her hobbies of needlework and reading. She has stopped going out with friends and feels very socially isolated. She has noticed that she cries very easily and seems to always expect the worst to happen. She has no thoughts of suicide because she feels she must be there for her daughters. 1.
