Am I depressed?

Question

This is such a weird question but I am wondering if anyone has gone through this. 
Overall I am happy. I love my family, my home, my life but I just feel disconnected. 
For example, it was my sons bday party over the weekend and I spend to much time organizing, prepping decorations, food and everything that goes with a party but during the party I just felt disconnected. Like I was on the outside looking in. 
I don’t know if this is depression or I am just so burnt out from never getting a break. 
I just feel like I am going through the motions because I have to, to survive and for my kids. 
Has anyone experienced anything like this? What did you do?

Answer

Is this all the time or occasionally? Feeling occasionally disconnected or even burnt out doesn’t mean you’re depressed. If you’re feeling this more often than not, talk to a therapist.

Answer

Reaching out to a therapist, medication if you need it, having some alone time, pampering yourself, doing things that make you feel good about yourself, volunteering, it gets you out of your head, it changes your perspective, it makes you stop focusing on your problems and makes them not seem so big, it Changes your perspective and that the glass is half empty and the glass is half full, it makes you grateful that you don’t have to deal with what they do, does so much for you. Exercise is another way exercise is great because your body releases hormones and endorphins and serotonin and dopamine all of the hormones that make you feel better, same thing with listening to your favorite dance music getting up and dancing, it’s like escape from reality it takes you to another place man I haven’t heard this song since middle school. When was the last time you had some time to yourself, to take a bubble bath, drink a glass of wine, go out with your friends, have a date night with your partner, or anything else. You may just be rundown and exhausted, or maybe you are depressed we don’t know, the only one who can figure that out as yourself and your therapist, Maybe you just need a vacation, we don’t know but start somewhere, and figure it out. If you need medication there’s no shame and no harm in anything wrong with it. Try talking to someone, and getting medication see if that helps, try the other things I recommended, I hope you feel better.
