Is this normal or should I seek help?

Question

I am the 2nd of 4 and tomorrow the last of my siblings is getting married. All 3 of them have kids, and I am truly happy for each of them. I will be turning 30 this year, I do not have kids and am unmarried. Ever since my younger sister (the baby of the family who is 5 years yonger than me) told me she was prego with baby #1, I've had random emotional episodes when I'm alone. I'll begin to feel sad and a bit envious of all those around me who are getting married and/or starting/expanding thier families. Then I will cry a lot. Sometimes it only lasts a minute, but sometimes it goes until I cry myself to sleep.

Is this a normal reaction for someone in my situation, or is this some form of depression? Has anyone gone through something similar?

Answer

I don't like the world 'normal'😂 Your situation is most likely making you think about your own life and bringing up the why not me? Why them questions. It's certainly understandable but if you believe your feelings are more deeply rooted, than therapy is a great help. Talk to a completely impartial person can help😊 Good Luck

Answer

I think you feel pressured by your environment. And that's fine, but be cautious not to get depressed by it. Try to see the good sides of not being married or having any kids. You can do what you want without thinking about others needs! For example travel a lot before settling down completely, that'll make your environment envious of you 😉 
If you feel that it takes too much of your time thinking about this, seek for a therapist that you can talk with. Or just a good friend that'll listen to your thoughts and feelings 😊
