I Am Sad

I am actually depressed and want to die. I am trying to decide if it's just my hormones or if it is an actual desire. Usually I can tell but not so much right now. All I want to do is cry and my feelings are flat or non existent. I am at work, I want to quit. Don't get me wrong, my life is not bad by any means, I just want out.

What do I need to do to want to again? Where do I find the want to? I know all that is within me but I struggle with desire. I lost interest and now just go through the motions. My meds can only do so much, maybe I should see a therapist but I just don't know if that really is the answer. I know my life is on me and I am the only one that can turn it around. It's not hard it's just not worth doing in my mind anyway.

I can relate... although not the death wish part. But, that "flat" feeling, being emotionless, feeling worthless and empty. I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately and while I don't have any answers I can put into words, I am becoming convinced these feelings we have come from repressing too much. Look up "detached personality" to see if any of the symptoms apply. It doesn't really give you a resolution although there is some calming effect from finding out it's not totally uncommon. Being at work when these "episodes" occur is the worst, I know...

@MarkPaul Thanks I will research it, if nothing else it will take my mind away for a while
