I am 29 & have a gorgeous, sweet husband. I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter and an amazing house. Why do I have such a negative outlook on life? I worry all the time and I'm so sad and have no patience with anyone. What is wrong with me???

It sounds like you might be suffering from depression, and there's nothing at all wrong with that.
Make an appointment with your doctor and maybe see if you can get a referral to a psychiatrist (because therapists and psychologists can't prescribe medications --- if they become necessary).
Get treated now before things get REALLY out of hand. And be up front and honest with your husband....he will be supportive if he knows you're hurting.

You probably are depressed, but you don't need me to tell you that. Is it possible that you are not living the life that you think you should be living? Just because you have a life that looks good on paper doesn't mean it's fulfulling your soul. I'm not saying don't count your blessings, because you should definitely be thankful for all that you have. But you are only 29 years old, just because you have a great house, husband and child doesn't mean that your adventures are over. Get a babysitter and go do something that you thought you would never do, SCUBA diving, rock climbing, take a salsa lesson, go back to school and learn something new. My point is that you are still young, your life isn't over so get out there and live it. I had the same feelings (still do sometimes) when I turned 30. I have 2 great kids, a wonderful husband and a beautiful huge house, and one day I woke up and said how in the world did I get here? I used to think it was selfish of me to get involved in anything that doesn't include my husband and kids, but now I cherish the times I'm alone. It doesn't mean I don't love my family, it means I need to recharge! So now I balance my Suzy Homemaker life with my adventurous side... Nobody expects you to be the perfect mother and wife 100% of the time, if you aren't happy you aren't any good to your child or husband. Take a little "you" time every once in a while, you'd be surprised at how much patience you have after you've had a couple of hours alone doing whatever it is you want to do!

You probably have nothing to be passion about, other than your husband and daughter. You need to also have an interest or hobby that you really like or do a study course on a topic you like, so you too can keep on growing mentally. At the moment you are becoming stale with a lack of enthusiasm, because you have no interests.

You sound depressed. Go see your doctor for medication and a referral to a counselor. It sounds like you have a loving marriage and a good life, so I think your depression can be relieved pretty quickly and easily. You may even be suffering from a hormonal imbalance left over from giving birth a couple years ago. Whatever the cause of your depression, it can be treated and taken care of.

You need to find yourself, what defines you? What do you like to do, what did you use to do that made you happy. It's not always about the material things. Do you beleive in God, do you go to church? Go out and buy yourslef some panties at Victoria Secret, you need to feel good about yourself again. Nobody can fulfill that void for you. Go get your hair,and nails done, get a massage at the spa. Sex your husband. You have to figure what's wrong, nobody else can.

You could be depressed, overwhelmed... you could have anxiety. See someone, a therapist and see what they say once they evalute you.
It's nothing to be ashamed of. It happens to lots of people. One of my very best friends has a double major, a nice house, a great job, a great husband, nice cars... and she's always depressed. She's been like that as long as I can remember.
Some people are just naturally pesimistic. All you can do is talk to someone.... and go from there....

I think if you travel with your family such as going to the AMUSEMENT PARK!!!!!, then that might cheer you up. i think your so sad cuz ur bored. maybe learned to play an instrument like the guitar or piano and play it when u feel sad, but i still think going to the amusement park will help out a lot

you need an activity, are you working? If you are still sad, just turn on the tv and look at how many people who wants to be in your shoes; people with terminal illness, women with abusive spouse, women who wants to get married and have children but can't....be grateful, you take things for granted

Well I'm sorry you're sad but you need to ask yourself that question. Something deep down maybe that you haven't addressed and keep ignoring...?
