Answer 1

Becuase it seems you are always looking for that half empty glass of water - start believing it's half full. Laymens terms here, but you get the meaning.

Answer 2

well being creative and having intelligence would be something that could help you as i am sure it has in the past.
these same traits could contribute to a somewhat over active imagination .
Not knowing why you feel depressed and anxious is not really a good sign. You did not say how long you have felt this way or mention how the other members of your family are doing. Certainly as a wife and mother you pick up on the feelings of children . Again as a wife i would hope that you have a good feel for how your husband is doing. IF anyone of them was having difficulties that were perhaps not big wow problems then you may have adjusted to seeing the person that way and that could contribute to your feeling down and anxious. All of this needs to be considered along with a fairly good bit of exploring of your situation your own feeling wants needs hopes and dreams. I say it needs to be looked into like that because as some on here have written there may be to many people popping antidepressants and benzodiazapines with out there first being fully examined.
While clinical depression and anxiety are things that can often be treated very well with the use of medications some times a more careful exam by a psychologist and or a psychiatrist is best after having been seen by the family doctor. I suggest that you take some time today to really think about all the key factors in your life work family sprititual and where you imagined you would be at this point in life some years ago. Then if you still cant find a good reason for your feeling down you may want to discuss this with your familiy doctor.
Should you go to see the doctor about this they will ask questions such as how much you think this condition has interupted your normal daily routine . The doctor will ask you most likely to rate your mood on a scale of 1 to10 , you can do this today yourself . with out seeing the doctor as both questions are really basic parts of the things the doctors use to determine if you need further treatment or if this is something best left with you alone to work out. You have already met one of the criteria for clinical depression and that is not knowing or being able to pin down a reason for your down mood . Should you find that you think the mood has changed your routine to the point that it is difficult to make it more then what you think is normal for you over a great many years then you should see the doctors.
One other factor here is if you are activly suicidal that means you have even if only in your mind formed a plan on how you would do something like that. If that is the cause or if you find yourself feeling worthless or would rate yourself on that scale as being well below what you think a happy healthy person would then discuss this with your family doctor.

Answer 3

Do you stay at home or work? Even though you have all the money you could ask for you might need to challenge yourself by working if you do not. Maybe something is missing? Just because you have it all does not mean there is nothing that could be missing but it is up to you to figure it out. Write down when you feel depressed and what is going on around you maybe you might find some kind of pattern. Do something to take you mind off of it like running or something physical. Cheer up life is too short!

Answer 4

Because your neurotic like most women. Plus your over compensating for something with your over the top description of your life, and your own faculties. If things are so great, what would you possibly have to be depressed about? Did they stop selling capris at the GAP?!?!?! Perhaps a better question if your so gifted and have such a perfect life, why are you wasting your time on this website? Especially with all that disposable income.

Answer 5

One should possess the postive attitude towards present & future life along with the present.
One should enjoy the present moment whtever it may be the situation turn it to your advantage see some thing best out of it. Always expect some thing wonderful happenings. Dont predict the things that will happen always to your expectations. Be prepare to face the surprises. Certainly those things brings you real happiness.
