I feel quite alone with it. Like I know others are finding it hard especially with kids, but I generally feel low and fed up.

I’m still working as I’m a secretary at a hospital, have stretched my part time hours out over Monday - Friday so I can’t even say that I’m stuck indoors all day with my husband and son. I feel like I’m being ungrateful. I also find myself questioning if I even like my life? I don’t know if it’s a combination of the current Coronavirus situation and me being due on my period but hate feeling like this.

Your not alone. You are doing an amazing job in hospital. Im a student health professional. Benn sent home and feel like a useless piece od shit. Moreover i dont want to go to work in hospital as scared...feel guilty about that.

Depression is caused by the past and overthinking or not being happy and loving each day a lie. Our brain cannot deal with the negativity. Depression is caused by wallowing. You need either the right meds or to make changes every day to beat it because it causes so much pain and life becomes a constant battle to breathe. No one can save you or tell you what you need that’s the one thing depression does makes you need a crutch you be come a drain. Therapy don’t help. Your life is making you ill

@FabbyChix - your response has confused me slightly. Are you ok? I get where you are coming from re making changes and life becoming a battle but I definitely don't feel like I'm a drain upon anyone. My husband is amazing and has experienced depression himself so knows what to expect/how to approach it. Therapy absolutely helps depression and anxiety. It has helped me countless times.
