Do you ever feel like you are just "existing"?!
Question:
Do you ever feel like you are just "existing"?
I have suffered from depression off & on over the years. Even though I am fairly happy and I do have alot to look forward to, I feel sad because I am not working (long story) and alot of people in my family look down on that. My husband works but he makes me feel I am not worth it because I don't have a "job" Sometimes I think it would be better if God would just take me home. I want to live, but don't feel worth it. I am also on meds and do the cousenling. So tired of people telling me how to live my life.

Hi there,
I can relate to how you are feeling. First of all it is up to you as to how you live your life. I would not pay attention to those around you who want to tell you what to do about yourself. i am sorry that your husband makes you feel bad about not working. I do not work, and suffer from depression and other things too. Tell him when you are ready and feel like you can , you will find a job. He needs to respect you. I think it is part of the depression to feel bad about oneself. Maybe you can try and find things that help you feel better and happier?
i know it is easier said then done though.
Follow your heart. Do not let anyone get you down . It takes time to feel better, it will not happen over night. Best of luck.
