life help: I’ve been really sad for a really long time now.

I’ve been really sad for a really long time now.

I’m 27, and everything I’ve planned for my life has gone completely wrong. Every thing that happens in a different way than I’d like to, gets me down, SO DOWN it’s ridiculous. I’d never thought about suicide, and I still think it’s a distant thought and it would be my very last resort, but i’m not saying ‘never’ anymore, and that scares me.
Work has been my biggest problem. I work with my family, and my father is a very tough person. I feel the pressure of the job itself plus the pressure he makes on me unbareable. I feel completely overwhelmed most of the time, everyday. I really don’t know what to do to feel even a little bit better. I think I’m about to become clinically depressed.

You are 27. You do not need to continue to work with you family if it is causing this much problems for you. I know being around my family a lot causes my depression to kick in big time. I love having distance from them. I love them but can not deal with it on a daily basis. I choose to live far from them and live my own life. Maybe that is what you need.

- babacup: i think about it all the time… but it’s really hard to find a decent paying job and support yourself in my country (brazil). Plus, my father is getting older, and my family needs me to run our business and support us (me, my parents, 2 sisters and 3 nephews and nieces). He’s supposed to retire in 3 to 5 years, depending on how the business evolves, ad I’m supposed to run it.
I’ve been raised in fear, mostly fear of failure, of becoming poor (because my father was very poor)… The problems at work have a HUGE impact on me… 30 minutes ago I had my head to the table for 10 minutes because I got bad news. Everything overwhelms me, I feel very fragile. I just don’t know how to cope with that. It may seem small stuff to some people, but it’s really gotten to me these last 3 years. I’m thinking about asking my doctor to put me on pills or something. I just can’t feel sad and worried all the time anymore.

-infoPRO: i was raise as a catholic, but I don’t believe in God anymore. I’m a very rational person, so religion ‘does not work’ for me. I simply cannot believe in any of them. I know it would help me a lot, I truly believe that, but I just do not believe in religion.

I have taken medication for depression and it did help me. But it will not take away your problems. It will only help stabilize your emotions so you can deal with things better. So going to the doctor is a good start.
