I'm so sad

I don't know why. I have almost everything I ever wanted, a great boyfriend, 4 kids, some are more difficult than others, but I'm still thankful for them, 2 bonus kids, (my boyfriends), a house, all the food and other essentials I need. Why do I get so depressed? I'm proud to have helped others through their depression, yet I can't stop myself from suffering from it myself. Can anyone give me a word of encouragement? I just need some TLC. I don't need to be so needy, but I feel I really need it right now. Thanks!

Almost everything? Something then is still missing. I don't equate sadness with depression. But I hope you feel better.

I'm definitely depressed. The only thing I don't have alot of that I want is money, but we have enough to get by, plus a little. Thanks for your responses, they always help.

With four kids I would imagine you don't get much time to yourself... When is the last time you did something for yourself? It could be something little, ie, a warm bubble bath with the door locked, a pedicure or manicure, lying in bed reading a good book, etc. Sounds like you need some "Me Time". I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Nothing wrong with wanting a little TLC for yourself. Sometimes in helping others you end up helping yourself without even realising it and no doubt you've learned a few things from it yourself.

You are doing a great job being a mother to your children. Don't forget to take care of yourself too. A little mom time goes a long way. Maybe a hot bath while they boyfriend handles the kids for an hour. Take care.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
