Feel depressed but why?!


Question:

Feel depressed but why?

New man, new house, new job but guess what still depressed!. Have money in the bank but still depressed!. have tried fish oil, st johns wort, prozac, 5HTP, Vit B6 but nothing lifts it.

i am tired being me i dont want to be me! i try to hide it and everyone thinks i am the life and soul always joking and singing!
i feel i have to see to so many others needs - husband, children, dogs , uni stuff, agh i cant cope!.
Why cant they get a grip, get a job and act like adults - i am ranting about my children now. Why cant my husband use a washing machine and run his life like an adult?

i am tired and dont know where to start with my uni work have 13k essay to write and just cant get started! So many other things to do dog to vet, son to job centre, pick up other son who has no money but wont get a job, clean house, make tea, phone bank about overdraft.

Does anyone know of any other product/ self help take that would help with depression. Sorry to rant and bore you to tears!


Answers:

Hi

I'm with you on this one. No matter what good comes along you feel low - depression is a chemical unbalance and is not helped by people saying "cheer up" or "just snap put of it", if only it was so easy.

I find talking helps. I'm stubborn to the hilt and it took me a long time to admit maybe speaking to some stranger would help. My partner is wonderful but I worry what he'll think of some of the things that randomly come into my head. You need someone, a professional who you an "unload" on without guilt or reprecussions.

You have one more than me tho - children. Lovely tho they are it could be a long time hidden post natal based depression. It's nothing to feel guilty about.

Your local GP should be able to talk to you about either hooking up with a counsellor, maybe looking into CBT (cognative Behaviour Therapy - There's a good book for dummies on this!) or websites you can talk to like minded people and seelk advice.

I hope things improve mon cher - best of luck
