What's wrong with me?

[confusedc]

Why do I not feel happy when I wake up any more?

I'm a single 27 year old mam to a beautiful, well behaved, sweet little boy. Extremely good terms with his dad and he helps out brilliantly. My parents and sister live very close by and are also there for me and we have a good relationship.

I have one or two friends I can talk to.

So why do I feel so down? That's not normal is it. I feel selfish for feeling this way. I go to work and come home. Weekend just gone my son was away with his dad. Surely I should have had made plans. I came home from work at half four and didn't leave the house (or bedroom really) till 9 o clock yesterday when I went back to work. What's wrong with me?

It's a beautiful sunny day, I have the day off work. And I'm sat in the bath crying. And I don't even know why....

There is something the matter - your body is telling you this. Have you spoken to any of your family about this? Take today slowly but definitely go outside and do something.

No I've not spoken about it. They ask why I've not got any plans and I pretend that I just can't be bothered and that there's no one I want to see. But I act like I don't care. And most of the time I don't. That's not right is it? But I don't know why.

Does anyone else feel like this sometimes?

Yes I get you.
How old is your little boy?
It sounds like how I feel at the moment just incredibly damp and flat. I think it's depression.

He's 9. I feel weird saying I feel depressed as I have nothing to feel depressed about......such a horrible feeling

You don't have to have something to be depressed about. It's an illness. You wouldn't have to have a reason to have a physical illness would you? Could you see your GP?

There doesn’t have to be a reason to feel depressed. I’ve got a wonderful life but when I suffer with depression I can’t find joy in anything.
Speak to your family and go to the doctors.

I'm pregnant and suffering what I think is anxiety and depression. Just like you I don't feel thetes anything to be anxious or depressed about and feel silly talking about feeling a bit meh. I did speak to my gp though and although I'm at the start of the journey with it I'm sure it helped.
