I know my husband loves me and my children do as well. My children are everything to me, and they always want to be with me. Could it just be the start of the winter blues for me? Does anyone else get these feelings? Am I going totally nuts? Did I just read to many other question on here and make myself depressed?

Unfortunately, you are totally normal...got that normal.
Today, it is hectic...everyone is in a rush...and we forget to celebrate.....with just sitting down at dinner and making small talk. How's your day....really, mine was.......did you draw that all by yourself...I am so proud....
We think there must be more out there......and sometimes the winter blues do get us down...and slowly we think of doing other things in the winter.....like what....painting pictures.....why not...no stuff....so go to a craft store...and selfishly buy something only for yourself...yes just for you....and make it...whether it's painting a picture, or making a piece of jewelry, or just getting artificial flowers and putting them in a nice vase.
Do something just for you.....and offer the creativity to your MAKER....Yes don't forget GOD, and if you don't feel close to GOD, who moved?

I feel that way. I believe people when they say they love me but I somehow don't believe it at the same time. I get very frustrated that everyone around me loves me yet I feel somewhat empty and alone. I end up turning it back on them because I think 'if they really loved me' I wouldn't feel this way. I'm wrong, it's a problem I have and I've had it most of my life.
Lots of medication and therapy will help me. You may not need something that 'heavy' if this is a relatively new thing and it's not ruining your life. It may be seasonal. It may just be random and go away soon and never return. Everyone feels like that at some point. It's totally normal. It's really possible that you were reading too many of the depressing questions on here! If it's bothering you on a regular basis, gets worse or causes any other problems then you should think about trying counseling. No one likes to hear that but it's not a life sentence. You may only have to for a little while. Hearing a professional tell you that 'everything is going to be OK' can really help sometimes.

You mentioned that you have children. If your youngest is an infant there is the possibility you have Post Partum Depression. If not, you could be having a seasonal affective disorder, a depression related to shorter days and darker days OR you could have a mild depression. Since there are so many possiblities, if it is bothering you enough it would be good to talk to a doctor who can help determine whether it is anything that needs to be treated.

You should see a doctor. I had the same feelings at one point. I had everything to be happy about in my life but I was so unhappy. It turned out that I have an autoimmune disease that causes malnutrition and my vitamin deficiencies had resulted in clinical depression. I'm not saying that you have the same problem that I do, but it sounds like your body is trying to tell you that something is wrong. Tell your doctor how you feel, and tell him about any other problems you may be having as well. Life is too short to live with depression.

I'm the same way I feel what your feeling. I have to wonderful babies and a loving fiancee. I just feel so down so alone I don't want to do anything anymore I just want to stay in my home. I know I have depression badly but I don't have insurance or the money to get the happy pills . I say if you can get on something I would. Good luck sweetie.

If it's a common thing that happens to you at this time of year, then you may be right about it possibly being seasonal depression (unless you feel it all year, then it's just regular depression).

People who feel lonely even in a crowd are not uncommon, unfortunately. I suggest you sit quietly by yourself and figure out what is missing in your life. Counseling, through talk therapy, is good to figure things out too.
