Is there something wrong with me?!

Is there something wrong with me?

I seem to be depressed, even though I am truly happy.
I really have it all. I am sometimes overwhelmed by the beauty of my life, yet, I crumble over the smallest of my mishaps.

PS It's when I, myself make a mistake, not if if "drink cheap wine" etc.

Hi Anna:

To me yes, it does sound as if you are depressed. You can be happy and yet depressed at the same time, but realistically what happens you have tricked yourself into thinking or believing that you are happy when deep down somewhere inside you are not.

Yes, your life is very beautiful and also the things in your life but happiness does not come from things, it comes from you, inside. You sound as if you may have a little bit of guilt about how blessed you are in your life as when you think about your life, you mentioned you feel overwhelmed. Yes, I realize that you mean overwhelmed in a good way, but feeling overwhelmed eith good or bad is still a form of stress.

Maybe you also set very high expectations of yourself and when those are not met from folding a napkin perfect to making sure the house is always perfect can also be a stressor.

You may be a perfectionist, that is stressfull in itself. But may I suggest to you please that you schedule an appointment with your doc and you can discuss with them exactly what you wrote to us, and at the end of the appointment the doc will have an answer for you if you are depressed or not and then you both can discuss what the best treatment is for you. But please call and make the appointment , it is important for your health.

Be safe and be well Anna
