Should I see a doctor?

Question

You guys don't get me wrong , I love my life but I'm always depressed. I'm happy with my husband and work and everything but sometimes I lock myself in the bathroom and just cry. Uncontrollably. I can't help it. I had a rough life growing up but I've tried so hard to put that behind me but I just can't. I just want a relationship with my parents but that won't happen. I feel like I have no one to talk to. I work 45+ hours a week and my husband works 70. I just can't with life anymore.

Answer

I'd recommend going to see a psychiatrist.  They can put you on medication or refer you to a therapist, whichever will help.  Ignoring it and trying to just force yourself to be happy when you can't will just make you feel worse

Answer

Yes talking to someone will help and if you are TTC or decide to it will make it a little more difficult as mental and physical well being go hand in hand if you are depressed then your body will react to this and can make it harder to conceive

Answer

I'm not so sure if we're on the same boat, but I'm pretty happy with my life. Thankfully, I look at my husband and husband's family as a gift from God. I, in a way, have a little grudge and resentment against my parents about how they treated me and how they compare me and my little sister to our brother. To them my brother is the best and favorite one in the family-since he was a kid.
We didn't grow up in a family who support each others back unless you're something who have monetary contribution in the house or if you're awesome in academics. My mom is constantly putting me down in an indirect manner because I married too early at age 20 and wasn't able to financially help our family (it's in our culture). I pity my sister more who hears how useless she is as a daughter as she haven't graduated from college yet and mom thinks that she is just wasting her money because she changed schools once, she's 20 right now.
I feel like my parents, mostly my mom sets a standard too high and forgets that different people have different abilities. Being verbally abused and some other times physically abused(too much hitting) really affects how I look at her now and sometimes even scares me now that I'm pregnant that I might end up like her-and this brings me to tears.
I know, nobody's perfect so I don't judge them and they've also been through a lot in life. The pain they've caused me hasn't really gone away. And that's what I'm learning on my own, I don't think that any psychiatric help would teach me how to let go unless I feel it right from the heart.
Definitely you're decision! You know what's best for you more than anyone else. Stay strong and positive ❤️️ You Are Not Alone!

Answer

Try church! If you find the right one, it can be a great support system and source of hope. I dealt with the same type of feelings for many years and still do sometimes but I find relief and hope in Jesus. Lufe can seem so meaningless and impossible sometimes.

Answer

I feel the same. Just unhappy. Want to be happy again but don't want to admit it to anyone tbh since my mom has bipolar. Don't want the "awwww" attention. Sounds silly but hopefully you get the help you need

Answer

Absolutely!  You don't need to live like that. My husband battles depression,  it has nothing to do with being unhappy with your life, it's just something that a lot of people deal with.
