can't take it anymore

hi...so, i 'm sitting here at work and completely miserable. i can't stand working here and am waiting to hear if i get an offer from another company i interviewed with last week. my dh is waiting just as patiently as i am.

anyway, i feel like i can't handle anything anymore. i can't handle the constant feeling of sadness, depressed, lonely, unhappy, having no motivation. my dh and i have discussed why we feel this way(yes, my husband feels the same way as i do concerning his work situation and other things). we have been tossing up the idea of moving to a different part of the country because we are just not happy in the area where we live, which is probably contributing to our "down" feelings. i sometimes wonder if that is going to solve this constant unhappiness and sadness that we feel. all i know is that i am so tired all the time, and i am now TIRED of being TIRED. i look at myself in the mirror and i look old and worn out and then i think i'm still too young to look this old and to feel this old. i just want to know when will this subside, when will it end? my dh andi feel like we constantly chase our tails every week just to make ends meet and at the end of the day we are too exhausted to do anything other than make dinner and catch up on our days. on the weekends we have to catch up on things we didn't have the energy to do during the week. it's just such a depressing circle. ugh!!! does anyone else feel this way about how their lives are going? it's only monday and i just don't know how i'm going to make it through the rest of the week.....

(((Sweetie)))

Do you or your husband go to a therapist?

I moved away to go to school and lived in a city for two years. I grew up on a farm, and I was miserable the whole time. I moved home to the small town buy my dad's farm. I feel a little better here, but I am still not happy.

Depression is so terrible. I don't really have any great advice, I just wanted to send you some hugs.

I know exactly how you feel. Being so down about your job could most certainly be the cause of your depression. I would hold off of uprooting at this point, that should be a decision you should make when you're both feeling better. We moved across country two years ago (from the west to the east) and although I don't regret our decision to do so, our problems (financial, emotional, etc) have followed us. I'd wait to see what happens with this potential new job, maybe see a doctor if you haven't already, then look into making a move.

Good luck to you.
