Q: Wanting to Know What Could Be Causing This...

Hi. I have a very blessed life, great children a wonderful husband...But for no clear reason at all, I find myself in these really low moods. Feeling very fearful of meeting new people, afraid of what others may be thinking of me, comparing myself to others, and just plain feeling like I don't measure up. Is this what depression feels like? I really don't have anyone to talk to about these kinds of feelings that I experience. My husband is not a talker and he tells me that all the things that upset me are silly. I know that he means well, but I get really down. It gets pretty difficult to ignore what I am feeling so often. What should I do? Any suggestions? Confused

It Sounds Like Anxietty And Depression
No matter how good everything in my life was I was never happy either. The answer for me was cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt). I was on meds for many years before I found cbt and it cured me and got me off meds in a remarkably short period of time. Cbt is not like other talk therapy. It's all about using the tools you learn in cbt to think more clearly and accurately about things and once you do your anxiety and depression will miraculously begin to lift before your eyes.
Hope this is helpful Smile
