I'm so sad all the time

[Holsteiq]

The last 3 months I have become increasingly sad and unhappy.
I have always felt a bit down from time to time but recently I am crying about almost nothing, worrying about silly things and generally out of sorts.
I should be happy I have beautiful daughters, a great husband but life is increasingly a drudge to me and especially since the start of this year.
I don't know what to do to make myself appreciate what I have instead and trying to look at what everyone else has got. I have little available money, need a new car, the mortgage has gone up. I have a little job but I can't see enjoy joy jn my life just misery...

I'm sorry you are feeling sad, i can relate i've never felt any joy in my whole life i don't think. My default setting is sad.

Me too. I actually think I'm bordering on depression, but no real reason why.

If your feelings are out of the ordinary for you, could it be perimenopause? A lack of joy can be a symptom and I’d be quite tearful and low at times. Damn hormones …

Update : about 2 months ago I finally sort some medical help as I broke down at work. Unable to focus, memory fog and extremely low. I am now on sertraline to help improve my mood which seems to have been working. But I'm just not happy in my job and think it might be the root cause of my misery and thinking about resigning on Monday.
