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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
