Me or not me?

I've put this in mental health but I'm really not sure.

I have had diagnosed, medicated depression before (not now) and i have diagnosed but unmedicated adhd.

I'm just miserable. I hate my job, i hate my house, i love my family but have constant worry that they're not having the best life either (not very good schools, not enough money etc).

My husband keeps telling me I'm depressed and i need to see a therapist.

I genuinely feel that if i could move house and get a new job I'd feel better.

Obviously husband isn't stopping me getting a new job, but he isn't keen to move. He's a very content person and i get frustrated that he doesn't want to improve our lives.

So the question is, how am i supposed to tell? Is it me, i need therapy to become content with what I've got. Or is it my situation and i need to persuade him to move and try something new?

I think if you were happy in your self you could (in theory) be happy wherever you live and, if you move, your feelings may well just follow you. It would be worth speaking to someone to see if they can help your state of mind before you commit to a drastic life change that may not actually help.

Change jobs first - then take stock of how you feel.

Have you tried medication for your ADHD @CarpingOnwards?
