I've had an awful day, and have no-one, or nowhere to say anything, and probably I'm being over dramatic or ridiculous but right now everything is just too much.

I feel my life is a mess, and I don't enjoy anything, and frankly, multiple times every day I wonder why I continue it and why I go on. I'm married to a guy I do love, but since we have been married everything has been a nightmare (purchased property together, way more problems than we believed, no running water from taps for 2 weeks, scammed out of £7000 because we were stupid).

The last couple of weeks I've just wished I could go to sleep and never wake up. I hate the way my life is (despite having a 'good' job) and just wish there was a magic button somewhere to escape from it all.

As it is, I have turned to red wine as a coping mechanism, go into work and try and do the best I can, but spend the entire time pretending to the world I'm okay. And I'm not, and I see no solution any more.

No words, and no advice, sorry.
But it can get better, Flowers

It's an overwhelming time in your life. It sounds like it's materialistic things causing the stress and discontentment. Hang in there; moving and renovating are hugely stressful times. Perhaps make a list of things you really couldn't live without and tick off the ones you already have in your life, running water will pale in comparison to having the support of a man you love Thanks

Go and see your doctor and get help through this. Wine is not the answer here.

What marvellous said. Sounds very much like depression. Go to the GP. Consider CBT - in my area you can self refer.

Marvellous has a point. You can have a run of bad luck making life tough and have depression at the same time! Please go to the GP.

You say several things that make me think it's depression, not just having a tough time. I've been there, I recognise the signs and have learned how to deal with it now.

It will get better, even though right now it doesn't feel that way.

I would also say depression. CBT may help, it's done wonders for my depression.

I was looking up one of my favourite quotes for you but I can't find it.

It goes along the lines of 'all good things shall end - as do all bad. This too shall pass.'

Sorry about the rubbish post, but this saying helped me through some shit times.
