Guilt

[suzzze]

I feel so guilty feeling depressed. I have a great job, wonderful family, relatively good health. But my heart hurts so much everyday. Makes me feel guilty and ungrateful. The women I treat at work are going through so much and yet they are still so happy. Why I’m I so sad everyday. Why does nothing satisfy me. It’s like where everyone lives happy lives and has sad moments and I live in reverse, sadness everyday with occasional fleeting moments of happiness.

Hi there just read your thread, have you been the doctor it sounds like a chemical imbalance to me, I am not a doctor though but I am sure there are people who can help you, I would start there perhaps, good luck

Yes I have before. I need to go back and start over.

I would definitely see your doctor. It's not right that you should be feeling this way.

I often tell myself that depression is depressing. I know exactly how you are feeling. I use both medications and cognitive intervention to address my depression disorder. It has helped me a lot.

It’s hard to even think of having to explain to someone how I feel honestly.

I can relate to what you said. I work around people who always seem happy and are laughing. How come I don't feel that way? It gets to the point where I get annoyed by their laughing. They also talk about their lives and I feel that my life pales in comparison. I don't go out like I used to and when I do I feel like an outsider to "the world". My happiness is fleeting too....

It helps to know I’m not the only person who feels this way. Thank you for understanding
