Anyone else feel depressed and do not know why? I’ve been crying almost daily for 4 months. Quit my previous job that I actually really enjoyed, but was feeling very down and disappointed in myself after not getting promoted after years of being told I do a great job. New job is not going well. Husband and I are trying to have a baby, but can’t get pregnant. Just not sure what to do. I know I should go to the dr, but just feel dumb saying “I’m sad and don’t know why and don’t know how to fix it”

This is textbook depression. Being sad is the exact reason you should see your doctor. It should like you have some major struggles right now, so I won’t say you don’t have any reason to be sad/stressed, but regardless, daily crying is not normal. Please don’t think things aren’t bad enough to get help. You need it.

Please find someone to talk to.

I can relate to the daily crying without knowing why. For me it boiled down to being lonely after all of the covid isolation. I switched jobs after realizing my teams were never going to switch from a 99% virtual environment. And that way of living and working just isn’t for me.

Not sure if you relate to that, but talking to a professional helped me to determine that as the root of my feelings. And it also helped me to find a solution.

Feel free to DM if you wanna talk, but know that you can get out of the funk! It’s not here to stay.
