So Damn Sad, almost all the time...?

Question

Im a 29 year old female, I have a 2 year old son who is just wonderful. I have a decent job (hate the people) but the work is easy and the money is good. My marriage is for lack of a better word... redundant, both of us want to provide a stable loving home for our son but we arent necessarily "In Love". The issue is that Im sad all the time I cry at work (hiding in the bathroom) I cry at home, I cry in the car. I know it isnt normal - I had depression issues before but this is just overwhelming. When I was depressed I didnt care about anything, now I feel like I care too much about everything. I desperately want to just "snap out of it" but I cant I just feel like I want to run my car into a tree doing 90 the feeling is getting stronger everyday.

Answer 1

I've been where you are right now.
It's a chemical imbalance in your brain. Hurting yourself will only make other people hurt as much as you do now. You don't want that, do ya - get help. See a doctor. Not a counselor - a medical doctor.
Write me if you want to talk to somebody. I've had crippling depression going on ten years already. (Ten years - man time flies when you're depressed). Life is great when you let it be. Hang on, life's about to get a whole lot better - if you let it. I hope you will. I'm still fighting depression, but now I know how and my life is awesome. It's an adventure but I'm okay.

Answer 2

So are you saying you want to fix this? Or is this just a statement of your current state of mind?

You might do yourself a world of good if you took some actions to find out the source of your sad feelings. It could be medical or it could be mental. If you had treatment for depression before, you might revisit the issue with your doctor. If you never had treatment, you might want to start one. If you have never seen a psychologist/counselor, you might want to give it a chance.

I suggest all this, because no where in your "question" you say you are willing to take steps to fix yourself.

I know what I would do if I were in your position. It's entirely up to you.

Answer 3

I'm really sorry, I'm actually going through a simliar time right now.

I've had some problems and haven't wanted to admit it to myself, and started getting worse 9 months ago, and 2 weeks ago, I put a gun up to my head and was gonna end it all (my fiance' stopped me). I still feel like this, I just got set up with a counselor and psychitrist this week.

If you need someone to talk to, write me at [e-mail]

I may not know what all to say, but I'll listen.
