Depressed for no reason

[Mohammad-341]

it seems to me that i am ungrateful to God and thinking about future only . i have good salary and working despite high rate or unemployement . i have a supporting wife and a lovely son.

just i keep thinking that i have no bank balance at the age of 46 , i am not able to update my technical skills as i selected a wrong career which i do not like and cant go into another profession at this age.

what should i doto be happy

not much you can do - only you know I am 43 in UK and despite everything much time depressed there is something always to frustrate and upset or annoy you in life but you have to just deal with it this is life maybe best wishes online there are many universities

M341.

U say ur working whilst so many around you are unable to work. U say U have a loving paathi & a gift from God by way of ur son.

Ur able to provide whilst others can't, yes the darkness of depression never truly goes away & can spring up at anytime without us noticing & it's at these times for I think of the most positive things & it helps me ground myself & realise its not hopeless or a negative thing.

Now I have my 2 daughters who are the most amazing achievements ever in my life & I talk to them when I'm low & my family is very supportive.

A suggestion if I may talk to ur wife as she would definitely notice if something is wrong & she would support U & also spend time with ur son doing family things or things ur son enjoys & enjoy his happiness as ur driving force its what I do & it works for me & to put it simply LOVE !!

Lastly

I wish U love & light on ur journey.

Thanks for ur suggestions and insight

[DodgeDhanda in reply to Mohammad-341]

I hope U do find something that works for U be it my suggestion or something else as It can be a very cold & lonely part of our minds that we end up in & we don't think that there is any beams of light that will lead us back from the depression & darkness & Love is the brightest light in our lives & I know U don't like to trouble ur paathi but as I say she loves U & no doubt would understand & give U the support & our kids are so innocent when they're young & look at U & think my dad is my hero ( I know as my father was the greatest man I ever knew ) .

Again I hope U find a solution for this latest episode.

Lastly

I wish U love & light on ur journey.

U r really very thoughtful. It's good to go through ur response

Hi M-341.

Like so many others here if someone is walking on a path that I have already taken then it is remiss of me to not offer U support as I know exactly how & what U feel & feeling & for me the answer was & always has been my loved ones as for me my loved ones have always understood I can sometimes be in a bad place mentally & they let me step back & always check on me a few times a week. Now compared to others I'm extremely lucky to have my loved ones there for me & so I try to offer that same support I recieve as we all know depression can't get out of control extremely fast.
