Hello and welcome. You are in the right place. I don't have "really severe issues" either, but I also struggle with being really sad. Perpetuallysad is right. Talking to your doctor about how you feel is a great first step. He or she can really help and may be able to get you on a good path to getting better. You don't have to feel this way forever, there are things you can do to help yourself. Being here is a good first step and reading about what others have gone through will help you understand that you are DEFINITELY not alone.

Sometimes I also feel guilty about my sadness...because I have nothing "wrong" with my life either. I have a kind husband, a loving family and a stable job. Yes, I've had challenges with my work and as part of my personal therapy I am trying to find a new job, but so many people out there have it so much worse than me. But what I've learned is that it's not about everyone else, it's about me and my emotions and my feelings. Everyone's experience is unique. Focus on you.

Stay here and stay with us and talk to you doctor. Good luck!
