Feeling really depressed, angry

I don't even really know why. My back is really hurting me. I spoke with my grandma the other day and mentioned it and every time I say something, her response is always, "You're too young for that"

Well, then is it all in my head? Are the Migraines all fake? My depression? My Anger?

Apparently I have nothing to be depressed about, angry, sad, the migraines even if I get physically sick over them, I am just too young for all this.

So, there's an age limit as to when one is supposed to feel these things.
(rhetorical)

Today - and it's been building - I feel extremely angry, sad, very depressed and scared for my future. I can not see a way out of my situation and I am 43 years old. I told my sister that I am going to be pushing 50 by the time I get back out into the real world (if that will ever happen) and she pointed out that I will be stigmatized...Gee, ya think? Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

I am sorry, I am getting sarcastic and snarky due to depressing thoughts.

The family went hiking. But I opted out because of my back. In a few days, we are going to California for a few days and I am dreading it...all the fake laughter, smiles and faking being happy, especially around the kids.

Stupid. But I promised I'd go - they bought the tickets so I am locked into this deal. No backing out. Unless I die. Which some days, like today- I want to die.

I burst into tears (don't know really why) after I heard the door close and knew they were all gone out of the house.

Whenever my brother has asked what the matter is, I tell him I am depressed...but he doesn't get it - which further angers me and then to add insult to injury, he adds, "why" "what do you have to be depressed about"

Honestly, and I know it is the depression speaking, but I can't see a way out of this &$&$^!! I got myself into and I am scared for my future. I feel like I am going to die leaching off my brother, while holding some one else's kid.

There's nothing for me.

But according to everyone else, apparently I am too young to feel this way and I am being selfish and stupid.

Just venting....Not a good day

:crying:

Well, the comment your sister made was certainly uncalled for.

But, cowboyup, you need some time to yourself. It's hard enough to deal with your own problems and responsibilities, so having others pile their problems on top of yours should make life unbearable. Try to create some free time for yourself so you can relax and release the stress that's building up and to look into something that'll help you find direction in life and help you face your demons. You could look into therapy and/or look into your hobbies and interests to see if there's anything nearby that involves them.

You'll be alright though, I know you will:thumbup:.

Thanks Deadman, for your kind words.

I know things are being blurred by my depression right now. Just can't focus.

Yeah, maybe it's time I need some outside help. I feel drained, lol

I'll get there...right?

Talking to people that are going to be considerate and not treat you like shit is a really good start to overcoming this depressive and angry episode....
