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.

Therapy may do you some good. Also what works for me is to go out and serve others. May some peoples lives better and you will make your own better, also.

Plain

@bigjohndl that's good advice.

@bigjohndl I am raising my 3 grandchildren, does that count as service to others

@mljenkins That's very noble of you. Been there and done that, myself. Take the grand kids and serve others. You could take them to a nursing home to help cheer up residents. Take them to a park to pick up litter. Go to a neighbors with them to cheer them up.
