why do i even bother?

there's something in my head telling me that i have to be depressed. i'm no able to be happy. sure, when i'm wth my husband i feel better - i almost forget myproblems when i'm in his arms - but then i roll over and it hits me again. did i do something wrong to deserve this? i think i'm broken. what is wrong with me? why can't i just let myself enjoy the good i have in my life?

Hi ~ Some of us have loads of trouble being "happy" or joyful. I've been depressed all of my life -- even as a child. There are chemical imbalances in some of us, and we need help -- and antidepressant very often can help with this. It's been a God-send for me!!! I too felt joyless -- I wasn't happy in ANY situation. I felt numb & empty. But when my doctor put me on an antidepressant, things greatly changed!

Why not talk this over with your doctor? Perhaps he can recommend a good therapist OR prescribe an antidepressant. It's certainly worth talking to him about.

Best of luck & God bless! Please take care of yourself. Hugs, Lee

I agree with Lee, see your doctor. Depression is not always a mind thing it can be physical. Your doctor should be able to halp you either way.
