Do you ever feel blue for no reason at all?

WOW! I have toyed with the idea of posting something similar to this one but thought, why bother anyone with my issues. I DO have a long awaited physical scheduled tomorrow morning. I WILL get back on a "happy pill" of some sort. Got off about six months ago when script ran out. Felt I was doing good until about a month ago. Then the "waterfalls" just start and have a hard time turning them off. (tears) Figure this is mostly depression as I have dealt with the chemical imbalance since 85. Now throw in menapause. UGH! On top of that, my husband is now disabled, now completely but close enough, and I am expected to do some much for him, plus work 40 hrs a week. I think that is what is bringing me down so much. I need to find a support group to help my balance all this out. or at least get it a bit more even. Quilting is my sanity, my therapy! I have my own sewing room with my computer and can sit in here and sew, chat on this board like now, or just cry! Gotta bring a box of tissues in here though! lol
Thanks y'all for being here and a sounding board! I have no family here to talk to about this. Which talking is a great therapy too, if you can get past those pesky waterfalls!

I feel blue sometimes....and you are right, it comes at me out of left field! I think it is because I am at the point in my life where the kids are grown and starting to live their own lives but now DH and I are dealing with parents who are becoming more *needy* and, sometimes, difficult to deal with. I generally just try to spend some time with friends who are going through the same things I am. It passes.
I do have several friends who are taking *happy pills* and they do seem to help!

To be honest, I felt this way alot when I babysat my DGC. I loved them to death, but week-end after week-end, I was asked to baby sit for one daughter or an other. I think I resented being taken for granded, not that I had anything else to do. I was a widow. I finally learned to say no without guilt. Then when I did babysit, I was happy to do it. If the "blues" last too long, make sure you check in with your DR.

I count my blessings all the time but that doesn't change my depression. I don't have a particular reason to be sad, and that is what makes it so hard. Why do I feel this way when I have so much to be grateful for and others have so little? Clinical depression isn't about situations or losses; the chemical imbalance causes the emotions for no apparent reason at all. I take three medications but still battle those terribly sad days like today. It's a tough battle for everyone who deals with this problem.

I believe that we are so use to being busy, that when it gets slow around us, we have time to think. This weekend my husband had a cold and I had a bad knee and we missed a cookout, and our immediate family lives out of town. I can hardly wait for Tuesday, so I can start my new week.
You are not alone.
