I am feeling severely depressed. Things I used to enjoy I don't care about anymore. Virtually nothing gives me pleasure. I have thought about ending it all but do not plan too. I think this is called suicidal ideation.
I have no reason To be depressed. I have great kids. A super relationship with my girlfriend and a high paying job.
I still feel like crap. I can barely do my job. I am not enjoying my family friends or love life. Not how I should be.
I know something is wrong. This is not me. I am a high energy happy person. What happened? I feel like I will never be normal again. What do I do?
Depression. What to do?

Exercise hours each day and consider getting a comfort animal (dog).

Re: Depression. What to do?
find your "happy place" or comfort zone..... and stay there.
Nothing seems "fun" to do when in this type of mood. But try and find something that makes you feel comfortable and ok. Whenever I get into this type of mood, I drive around in my car and just cruise at night. It is the only thing that i don't hate to do when in a bad mood.
best wishes.

Re: Depression. What to do?
Thanks for the thoughts. This is a tough one to reply to because everyone has their own way with dealing with depression and emotional issues.
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work. I have a DR appointment in a few weeks and am considering asking about some meds for it.
I have never felt this way before. I have been depressed before, but it was much different. This is weird as I know I am depressed and know there is no situational reason for it. In fact my life situation is the best that it has ever been. I should be bouncing off the walls with joy...but there is nothing inside at all. It's like the switch for happiness is broken.
I am working to find joy in things and still can at different points in the day. But it is hard work. I have to remind myself what is good then work to find the happiness in it. I can get some but not as strong as it should be.
Thanks again for all the comments.
