Question: I need some help - opinions please!?
I am 48, hate my job, live with aging parents, live in Raleigh, NC, hate that too!. I can't seem to get myself out of this funk I am in!. I have trouble maintaining relationships - friendships!. When I am at work, I don't get into other people's personal life unless they want me to, yet I always seem to be on the outside of things!. I don't gossip or talk badly of others yet I only have a few friends!.
I am in therapy & she thinks I may have some depression but I think it's all situational!. I am just having trouble getting motivated to do anything with my life!.
Any suggestions on what could be the problem!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lack of motivation especialy for a long period of time is indicative of depression as your therapist thinks!.
It could be situational and you need a change of pace!.!. maybe a new job!.!.!. maybe move out and take care of your parents but have your own place, find some acitivites you enjoy to increase pleasure in your life!.
SUre, when you're depressed it's hard to figure out what you might like, hard to take action but the only person who can change your situation is you and you can take it in small steps!. I'm sure your therapist would suggest the same thing!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, consider that your therapist might be right and initiate some treatment for depression!.
Don't stop there -- you feel it is situational!. So, change your situation!. Can you move nearby so that you have your own place instead of living with the parents!? Can you join a new group or volunteer somewhere so that you can see yourself in a different role than you are used to!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds to me like depression!.
I'm not a therapist, but I have a little background knowledge on depression and it sounds like that to me!.
Perhaps mild medication!?
I hope this helps!. Best wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You aren't pursuing your passion, or maybe you haven't found it yet!. You need to take time to just do the things you love to feel fulfilled!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not being able to get motivated is a sign of depression!. Do you take anti-depressants!? If not maybe you should talk to the therapist about getting some!. Also, if you hate your job find a new one, but don't quit the old one until you have found something else!. Maybe you could try getting a job making more money or one with better benefits!. As far as friends, get some, go out and meet new people, take up bowling or something like that, church, whatever it is that will get you out of the house for a little while to have a break from your aging parents!. Good Luck and Take Care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
