To find life a bit relentless and not much fun?

It wasn't always like that. Like most people, I have had some ups and downs throughout my adult life, but in general I remember enjoying life.

However, in recent years I can't say I am really enjoying life. My life is not bad - I have a job, enough money to have a few luxuries such as holidays, and I have a lovely dd who I adore. However, I don't really have a social life, and as a lone parent my life is just work and being a parent. Sure, I have happy moments but in general I don't really like my life.

Anyone else feel like that?

Yes, but I have depression/PND.

It's not that I feel like anything is missing, like a social life for example. It's that I just don't want to be involved in anything. I do lots of things that other people would consider 'fun', but I find it hard to enjoy anything.

I have a lovely family, baby on the way and amazing partner. Good life. But I can't enjoy myself, always struggled with it.
I've been on and off antidepressants most of my adult life. Sad

Yes it's just tiresome sometimes.

Yes. I never quite know if it's the way life has turned out and it is this tough and due to my health conditions or if I'm depresses.
