So, I'm not really happy...on the surface things seem great, I have a decent job, Chiefs are kicking ass, I have a nice crib in the country, a couple cars, play some music on the weekends...
But I'm absolutely depressed. I miss my daughter, I miss my ex-girlfriend, Brittney...
I want to move to NY, but I have to wait for my job.
So, it seems like I'm stuck here, at least for a bit...
Not much is bringing me pleasure, I was so depressed today at work...I get weird thoughts, not like I want to hurt myself, but just...musings on the pointlessness of going to work every single day, just to pay to exist, just to really pay for the kid that I never see...
I'm actually pretty damn lonely, even in a roomful of people.

Phobia is good people.
Thanks y'all. I feel better than I did when I started this thread.

Ooof...them DBs in Cleveland probably not sleeping too well. [Reply]
Sorry to hear you are suffering from depression. There is already a ton of good advice in this thread, so I won’t parrot what others have already said.
If you need someone to talk to, shoot me a pm. Being married to a therapist I’ve seen/heard what depression can do to people. I sincerely hope you get to a better place. [Reply]

And yes, I have actually thought about the testosterone; I have a Dr appt on Nov 7.
This is good advice.
I was happier when I had less money but was more creative...that is a fact.
The older I get, the more reflective I become. There's so much good that has happened in my life that I often dismiss it as something common place. Now, I celebrate those things and thank God for them every day.
Take the time to recognize all the really good things in your life (like your daughter), and give yourself a break for the things that aren't going so well. Enjoy every day, and find something positive that you can focus on. Engage in real conversations, with real people - not CP and message board members :-)

It sucks.
I have not read all the other comments, but I suffer from depression as well, and I know that everything can appear to be fine, and it doesn't seem like there is a rational reason why you should feel depressed, but the thing is, depression and anxiety aren't rational.
But being able to recognize your depression, and talking about it, are good signs. Never be afraid to reach out.

Thanks, LoneWolf. I'm usually really confident but...been kinda hard to keep the wind in my sails lately. [Reply]
