life help: I feel very sad today. - Help.com

I feel very sad today.

I have a history of major depressive disorder and am on many meds to help and in counseling. Things have been ok, but today, today is a really sad day. I don’t know why. That’s the hard thing. I can be fine and then I’m so not. I’m only 29 and most of life has been like that. I always think, if the next 29 years are like the past 29, then its just not worth it. I want to be happy. I want to be able to live a life. I just keep waiting for it to be my turn, but it never is.
I’ve been very tired. I sleep a full 9 hours at night and need a nap during the day, someimes a three hour nap. I saw my physician and several other doctors. I have a low b12 and low iron count but am not anemic. I’ve been taking lots of vitamins, getting injections, but it doesn’t help. I’ve had lots of tests and I have no idea what else to do. I hardly get anything done because I’m soo tired. Sometimes I feel like I could fall asleep standing up.
I’ve never dated anyone and really struggle to just have conversations with others. I don’t have any family around. Sometimes what I want more than anything is to feel like I’m apart of a family. I watch other families and just feel so lost and empty sometimes. I struggle with a lot of things, more things than I know how to deal with sometimes. I feel overwhelmed and sad and frustrated and tired. I just want someone to make it better.

This is only a suggestion. One of the things I have found helpful is to get out and walk every day. I only go out during the part of the day that I enjoy. After work when the heat lets up and mornings before it gets hot. At first I didn’t notice much as i walked but after a few days i began to look around more and began to look for parks and woods with hiking trails. I take my dog. He is a great source of comfort when I am depressed. Clinical depression is the toughest to overcome. You might need to have your thyroid checked also. Major exhaustion is one of the symptoms of low thyroid and its also a symptom of Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue. Both of which leave you feeling exhausted even after long hours of sleep. Having a pet is also a great source of comfort and joy but most of all you need friends. Friends will help when nothing else does. I have had friends that treated me lots better than family ever did. *lol*
Love,
skyeyes

Eat lite and lots of green veggies. They have a soothing effect.
