Okay so here is the deal - I have a happy home from the outside looking in - great kids - nice house - live in a good neighborhood - kids do well in school - Husband who loves me - Money is good - Husband who wants to buy me jewelry and clothes - Everyone is healthy - and I am still depressed - My husband reminds of these things when I am very depressed and I respond with I know - I have everything any woman could want and yet I still feel depressed - So is it menopause? - my husband thinks it is a chemical thing that happens around my period. or is it a mid life crisis? or am I really just unappreciative of what I have? I could write more but not sure where to begin or what to tell - at any rate it would be too long to post all at once. Thanks for your help

After reading your additional post, my guess is part of it is feeling UNHEARD - we withdraw, don't talk or share because we figure what's the point after awhile.
