Hi everyone,
It took a lot out of me to join this site and post all of this. I'm feeling very down for no apparent reason, and I have been told to "suck it up" by people on other mental health forums in the past.
I've been through some very rough times in the past, but at the moment, I don't have much of anything to be depressed about. I'm happily married to a wonderful and supportive wife who understands pretty well since she's been through her own depression issues. We welcomed our first child just 2 months ago, and I absolutely love being a Dad to our little daughter. I have a great family and lots of friends. I have a job that I enjoy, and I'm financially stable.
For the last 6 weeks or so, I've felt depressed for much of the time. I feel sad, guilty, inadequate, and angry with myself. I can't concentrate on anything, I get teary eyed over the stupidest things, I worry constantly about lots of stuff, and I don't feel passion or enthusiasm for much of anything. I'm functioning and working, and being a husband and father to the best of my ability, but a lot of the time I'm just going through the motions and would rather lie in bed and stare at the ceiling all day.
I take Zoloft and Wellbutrin, which have worked great until recently. I have a doctor appointment in a month. I hope I can find out if the depression is a matter of adjusting my meds or if it has some physical cause.
I'm glad I found this site. I hope to find support and be supportive to others.
