I do not love my job and often get very stressed out. I get that a lot of people would be happy to just have a job, and I have a safe home and family and such, so I should not be sad. This makes me feel selfish and sad at my "first-world problems". I have often been accused of having mood swings and can be pretty emotional. Today hit me hard, though. Nothing particular came up, just general work and I suddenly and almost uncontrollably lost it. I just started bawling right there at my desk. It has happened before to a point over someone screaming at me or something instant, but this was like all of a sudden I just could not take it. It was nearly fifteen minutes of non-stop tears and sniffling like a warthog. I had a ton of work to do, but I left as soon as I was allowed because I was a wreck. I wanted to go home and curl up under the covers and sleep it off. Instead, I decided to get some fast food, then decided not to, then decided who cares get it, then not, et cetera. My fifteen minute drive turned into a 72-minute drive. When I got home, I started crying more and then again around midnight. To the point that I was shivery and felt cold, too. This is extreme for me. I have definitely gotten that upset before, but this time I can not pinpoint a reason. I feel like it is internal-some brain glitch of sorts. Could this be depression?
