I never feel fully happy?!


Question: I never feel fully happy?
I don't feel like me anymore. I've been like this ever since I went through a bit of a bad time two years ago. I understand sometimes you have to solve the problem to move on, but there is nothing else I can do to solve what happened, it's not part of my life anymore and it doesn't consciously bother me anymore; that was just the starting point.

Since then there is always something to worry about. Every morning is a chore, I feel worried and horrible and I snap at people. I have mood swings for no reason and I get extremely irritable with my boyfriend. I can feel happy, I get excited and I enjoy particular activities but at the end of the day there is always something to feel empty about. And most of the time, I don't know the reason for it so I can't stop it.

I'm sure my IBS-D plays a huge part in this but it's ruling over my life so I've gotta stop it. Sometimes I feel like crying when I remember how happy and positive I used to be. I'm just not that person anymore. I'll be moving to London in October for a drama school but right now I'm just 'existing' each day. Wow, that sounds so depressing.

I walk outside sometimes and I look at the places me and my friends used to play when we were little, now it's all technology, technology, technology, and whilst I hate it, it's become an addiction. I HAVE to check FB every day even though I don't want to and if I deleted it I knew my curiosity would get the better of me and I'd re-activate it.

What the hell do I do?
I'm 19 years old, with a very supportive family and I should be happy. I just hate how things have become for me.

Answers:

You sound almost exactly like me and sorry to tell you but I have depression and social anxiety, sometimes a traumatic event or stress full event can trigger the depression later in you life. So you don't need anything at the very present time for you to be sad or stressed its just a chemical inbalance in your brain. What has helped me is therapy and medication and there is nothing to be ashamed about.

I'm bipolar and my psychiatrist always ask how I feel when I'm manic, how happy I get. I told her I'm never happy. I never have a feeling that could be described as happy. When I'm manic, I'm more hyper and irritated than anything else.

Unfortunately, I have no remedy for just existing, as it seems all I'm able to do... :(



I know exactly how you feel. I had psot natal depression wit my daughter but it wasnt that that made me depressed. I am on medication now and yeh i'll be truthful i still have bad days where i cant get out the house but now they are very rare. speak to your boyfriend see what he says then see your doctor. Most important thing is that you recongise your not well.

GOOD LUCK :D
