Mid-life crisis/ depression

[JustEllie]

I'm 30. Always been quite active, full of energy, positive about life but something has changed. I do not feel happy and do not look forward to anything what normally would give joy like holidays, running or seeing people. Im married, have a beautiful 3 year old DD, nice house, 3 months ago changed my job to a more perspective position. Lately I lost all the motivation and the interest in everything. I work, do the chores because I must.
I just feel flat al the time, rethinking my life, all the decision.
I started crying for no reason. I feel trapped in my life. I am not sure if its depression or just mid life crisis but I just feel sad. Any advice?

We have just been through a pandemic OP (or are still in it), the world has been on it’s arse, it’s perfectly reasonable to feel down. The monotony of daily life can also take it’s toll, the endless chores that go with having a family are not to be underestimated. Try to do some fun stuff as the world reopens, do daily gratitudes to appreciate what you DO have and treat yourself where you can. If by the end of the summer you still feel this way, a mild antidepressant might help.

Thank You

I feel the same.
The last year has been a long, hard slog. Now that things are opening up, I just can't get the energy together to do anything. Everything is put off until tomorrow. It feels as if I'm being ridiculous and very lazy. However, maybe we should give ourselves a bit of a break. Easy to say, hard to do.
