What is wrong with me?

I feel like I'm in a hole that I can't crawl out of.  I find myself wishing I could stop time so that I don't have to deal with the crap that tomorrow and the next day and the next day (and on and on) will bring.  The only really stressful thing I've got going on right now is work.  My personal life is fine, and I know objectively that this reaction is completely out of proportion to anything that's happening in my life.  I cry at random times and my husband has been trying to make me feel better, but I just don't.  It sucks to be an adult sometimes.

Re: What is wrong with me?

  • I honestly feel this way too lately. I have personal things going on in addition to the work stuff. My only advice may sound cliche, but take it one day at a time; don't even think about tomorrow and the next day until they are here! (((Hugs)))
  • It sounds like you could be depressed - why not seek out someone to talk to to see if that's correct or not? Feel better.

    I agree with Naylon. Especially if you're experiencing any sleep or appetite changes as well and/or your normal interests just aren't holding any appeal anymore. Hope you feel better soon!! Feeling that way is definitely the pits...

  • I agree with Megan, it sounds like it could be situational depression.  I have been there.  Talking to someone outside the situation totally helps!

  • Sometimes there are resources available through your work or insurance where you can speak with someone about your feelings, and if necessary, they can refer you to someone who can help.  These are confidential, and it sounds like you need someone to talk to.

    I have no advice besides that, but I wanted to say I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you can get it straightened out...you deserve to be happy!

  • I don't have anything to add except to say I hope things get better for you.  Hang in there!

  • DH just dealt with something that sounds similar.  He was extrememly overworked at work and it started making him depressed and very anxious.  He told me it was hard to make himself get out of bed some days because he knew all the work that was in front of him.  He wasn't unhappy with his personal life but the stress started affecting every part of his life and he was not sleeping at night, dreaming about work and such and he got to the point he talked to his doctor.  After a long discussion with the doctor they decided to try an anti-depressant.  He has totally gone back to the normal guy I've always known.  His doctor is going to keep seeing him regularly so they can determine if and when DH wants to stop the meds.

    The point of my lengthy story was that maybe you should find someone to talk to.  It sounds like maybe you are depressed and going on meds may not be necessary but just talking to someone might really help.  I think everyone goes through this at some point.  I know I did in college and talking to a therapist really helped me.

  • My first thought too was, "are you depressed?"  I know when I've felt that way, therapy has helped tons, and talking to DH is never enough for me.

    I hope things start to look up soon.
