Would anti depressants help

I’m 50 and really struggling with low mood, I’m a single parent with a good job ( which I’m just hating at the moment), I have lovely friends and a fantastic parents. I have a teen boy who is kind of brilliant and difficult at the same time. I’m dating and I’m pretty happy with how I look. But..... with so many positives in my life I’m just so incredibly tearful, unmotivated and angry all the time. I feel very ungrateful because I shouldn’t feel like this. I own my home, have the cutest dog that I walk loads. I get fresh air and I exercise, my social life is as good as I could want and I have a very loving bloke who thinks I’m a goddess. At the moment I take no joy in anything. I’m bitchy and hate everyone most days, my head is full of vile bitterness and I can’t find a calm place. Help

Could this be hormonal - 50 is a common age for the menopause to start. Maybe ask the GP to test you before going down the AD route.
