Also, I cry over things that could/will happen. I will be petting my dog and I cry b/c she is going to die one day. I worry something bad will happen to my kids, even though I have no basis for this worry. :(
I feel the same way. I have everything to be happy. A GREAT husband, two kids, dogs, a place to live......but I feel like my life is worth nothing most of the time. I get joy out of nothing. I know I have alot ot be thankful for but....
thankyou everyone for your post, yes there are some addictions i am dealing with, and so far i have tapered down to very little. but i think the biggest problrm is that it is winter and my job is seasonal. so right now i am not working. starting in march i will be going back to work and i think that will help me a lot. but my problem is even when i was not addicted to anything i was not satisfied nor happy. i think thats why i turned to pills to give me that false sence of happiness.i need to write my life story so that maybe some of you can help me try to figure out whats wrong, but its complicating and long..
thankyou again,
Thank you soooooooo much!!!
This is so helpful for me, I'm not completely nuts, lol

I am betting that drugs are involved somewhere - prescribed by a well meaning Doc, given by a well meaning friend, or even well meaning self medication.
Look up the word "anhedonia" in the dictionary and see if any of that sounds familiar.....the best part is that there are ways to combat it!! You can get beyond those feelings and back in the game of life ..... and enjoy it!
You need to find something you get enjoyment out of or your going to have a bout with depression. Try gardening, puzzles, painting the bedroom or paint lizards on a wall, be creative and have fun. I would love to find the time to do these things, but no time in a day. Do something you never thought you could. Hugs your way !!
I an relate to that...I get this every year around this time...and the added loss of my son doesnt' help (nor does a nasty cold)...I'm going to try to get myself fired up and moving today...I have to pick up my snow thrower try to do some stuff around the house
every day with the same weather, locked in the house is bound to effect us somehow... I know it does me...try to get out and take a walk...i you can get around the 7 ft piles of snow...find something to rearrange in the house..go for a nice ride...listen to your favorite musicl ( I guess in NC you don't have much snow...Oh would I love to be there) try to find a group of people in the same situation....and keep us posted..
love Jim
maybe A.D.D.???
I know...i hear ya..i have felt the same way lately. I am very very bored with my job. I am bored with my life although i shouldnt be because i am always busy.....but i dunno....i feel like i am kinda in a rut.
Maybe we can self pitty together? LOL.
ANd, i am always a happy person but I just havent been feeling it. I live in OH so i like to blame the cold and snow for my lack of motivation and sadness :(
