Maybe it's not just depression but anxiety too?

That's what I was thinking too. New situations can be stressful even if you're happy about them.

Hey there comrade ! I knew there would be some depression in your life but thought that you wouldnt share . I have overcome my depression as well , its been years and have found it rarely with someone else . To get out of it you just need to add some colours in your schedule and you sure are going to enjoy everything i promise . Pm me your schedule and your mood the whole day , what is you hate in it and which is your best part . And things like forgetting your phone back in the house for the whole day or driving very slowly and letting the rest overtake with a smile also gives some internal relief . But if you want more you can always tell me my wonderful friend .

It's very hard for you to have this kind of situation. And no one else like it either. It seems your self have been feed up already, from not eating, sleeping and annoyances from the destruction your children and pet. Depression for a certain period of time is not good neither, either in a course of treatment or not.Having this is unhealthy and need prompt consultation to a psychologist is a pretty good idea.

i don't need a psychologist,i've had one before and it didn't work,but thanks anyway

You need a holiday.. maybe, that's the one you need. Think about a place where you want to have for a holiday. Plan it and find the right time to go. You can do the plan after you finish with your new house. Surely, you need a lot of works to do when you are moving in.
@doormouse (4599)

i'd love a holiday,but can't afford one,i'd like all inclusive at a holiday resort,no cooking,no washing and best of all,no spending any money

well you seem to know it isn't depression causing this so i think i'd agree with some of the others that it is maybe stress over moving. even though it is going to be a perfect house it is always a stressful experience moving - you could maybe try to spend some time relaxing doing something you really enjoy every day until the move - even if it is just a hot bath and a read this might make you feel better. or you could come on here and get distracted

In spite of the symptoms you are looking out for,you are more than likely suffering a mild form of depression anyway. You have kids, cats and now the pressure of a perfect house. It might be time to sit back and talk to yourself and get some straight answers from YOU. Noone can help you like you can help yourself.

i'll probably snap out of my low mood in a few days,i usually do,it's just the eating and sleeping that i can't get under control

Hello doormouse!:) Same here... I got so sad few days ago and even now i'm still upset, I really don't know why I feel this way. I know that I need to be positive and drive all my "craziness" away. But I still do feel a little depressed. Maybe because there are things that bothers me a lot. Either issues from work or home. But to think it over, I shouldn't need to be all down and sad about it. I think there are point in our lives that we become sad and so depressed about certain things. I just hope to feel good about myself and set aside all the things that made me so worried. I also hope for your happiness! God Bless You!

Man you're overly melancholic, neurotic even,and definitely have some serious issues if what you're saying are true, better go to a shrink or a doctor before you get worse and start shooting at peoples, like the guys who's depressed i saw on the news.
@doormouse (4599)

i'm not that bad,i won't start shooting people don't worry

If you have no reason to be depressed and unhappy, maybe you should talk to a doctor. It could be hormone imbalance, or just plain depression. We all have our times, but it seems it has been a long time for you, did something happen to make you so unhappy. Don't carry the world on your shoulders, take one day at a time and work through it. Look for something that lifts you up a bit.

nothing specific has happened,i don't think it has anyway

i don't believe that you have no reason to be depressed. there is a reason, but you just don't know what that is. what does moving in to that house mean to you? i know you are excited, but what else do you feel about it. don't just go to the surface, REALLY dig. another thing is to remember that you don't need anyone's permission to have or seek joy. even if that means doing things they way you want to do them, instead of the way every one else wants you to. the people who love you should still love you after you do what you want to do. they should even still love you if you fail. if not, then they don't want to love you...they want to control you. the only way to have joy, is to be FIRST please with yourself. if everyone is clapping for you, and you are not clapping for yourself.....then you need to stop and regroup for sure. i think i will quit law school. even if i finish, and actually take the bar....i don't know if i want to become a lawyer. i know i would be good at it, it's not that. i just don't know if it will be good for me. it's not a confidence thing. i know i will succeed in whatever i WANT to do. i know everyone else is waiting for me to be an attorney. i know it will make everyone proud. I am not here on this planet to make anyone proud. if so, then my kids, but they are already proud of me. they will love me NO MATTER what, and I them. I will never put pressure on them to be something they don't want to be. I just want them to have peace,joy, happiness. I want them to be safe, healthy and not do anything to harm anyone, or themselves. then, I am good. do you want to same things for yourself (and kids, if any), at all cost, and inspite of everbody? this what you should reflect on. Do you REALLY have everything you want (i don't mean material either).

Hi doormouse, It's funny you should post this discussion, because I posted a similar one today. I too am feeling the same today, and has been for a few months now. But today, is a little bit worse. I don't know how to make you feel better, but the few who responded to my discussion have made me feel a little bit better. So, I am responding to maybe give you a little boost. Focus on the perfect house that you're moving in to. And hoping that you start a new disposition, as soon as you start your new life in your new house.

i got my move date today 14th november,so hopefully after that i'll feel better

Wow! a perfect house is something to look forward to. Dont you have plans on how to decorate your house, to arrange the furniture,what furnitures to buy, what looks do you want your bedroom and your kitchen be , etc. Of course you will miss your old house but moving to a new house is a sign of progress. So busy yourself with plans for the new house and sorting or packing things you want to bring with you when you move in. Good Luck!
