Is it possible to go from completely fine, normal and actually happy to DEPRESSED?

A week ago I was doing great, I was happy, probably close to the happiest time of my life. My daughter is healthy and very, very happy, I left a horribly dangerous town in Guatemala and am living a great life in a safer place, I get spoiled constantly by my parents who also spoil my daughter!

The only down thing in my life is that my husband isn't living with me (that's a long story, but we are both still happily married, just getting out of debt). I saw him last weekend, but this weekend won't see him... haven't had sex since last weekend, but that's what our hands are for, no?

My mother took me out for mother's day last night, we went to a casino... and when we got back I felt like my world had crashed... I don't understand why, I've been perfectly fine!

Last night and all morning I felt as though I wanted to cry and seeing just now that I missed my Novela makes me want to crawl under a rock!

From March of last year to January of this year my life seemed to be moving from one spot in to another... but since January ended things have been great! I've already cried for most of the stuff I went through, but not everything... is it possible these other things are catching up to me?? I've not been thinking about them or having nightmares!

What the is up with me?????

What a sweetie. Well that's the first thing that came to my mind?

You have had your fair share of disappointments and fears in a very short period of time, including if i recall your husband having an affair..and you moving to

Now, you've moved yet again from a town in Guatemala to a safer place.

If i recall your husband is starting up a business? And, if he doesn't live with you 24/7 it's because he's travelling for that business?

Your on a Forum that affords you to reminise, and discuss your sexual desires and funny events, cheeky events which reminds you constantly in addition to going to bed alone at night.

Lonliness can be depressing, with the desire to want to hug and hold your hubby but you can't.

Hang in there, maybe you can go with him every now and then and leave bubs with Mum? Just a day trip of something?

Get out a bit more from just being a mum, with family around, in a town you don't know without your husband around as you need.

Of course your depressed.

Did you say that he missed this weekend? It is Mother's Day there? That's another reason to be depressed, he's not there with you on a special ocassion...

Can you text him? Get a reaction of love back via the phone? Just to make you smile?

**** employment of all descriptions drives us all apart hey...

You know that even if my little 6 month wait turns fantastic, there's 18 more months ( due to employment ) before he lives in Australia..... now that will be depressing.....

Smile, and if you can make contact with him, do so, so that you feel better until you see him again...x

Nice photo by the way, been thinking of doing the same for some time, we'll see.

Better to see who your talking to sometimes...lol..

AND UM: Can't use your line this time....

As an avid novela-watcher, I think that missing one is serious business ... I can't live without my Al Diablo Con Los Guapos ...
It's maybe not "normal" per se to get depressed like that, but it happens to a lot of people. It's hard to be away from the one; I know; I live it every day. It makes it hard to get up in the morning and go through the day, but you sound like a strong woman and I'm sure you can do it
Take it one step at a time.

Yesterday was mother's day here... and yeah it was tough not being with him, but it just doesn't seem like it would send me on downward spiral like that!

He hasn't started up his bussiness.... we are living apart because together we cannot afford to pay for ourselves and our daughter... This is another reason I could be depressed, I suppose. He is living with his mother and I'm living with mine. It should be only 6months, once we are out of debt we should be doing great, but it will be 6 hard months!

In January I lost a pregnancy at four months... and I recently was SURE I was pregnant again, but got my period. When we found out that I wasn't pregnant again it felt as though we lost again...

I've been doing a great job holding it all in and not thinking about it... perhaps being away from my husband, having to depend on my parents and the lack of sex and novelas triggered something.

I feel better right now, but I feel like I can explode at any point... Not sure how to deal with this honestly. Posting it all online probably isn't the best way to fix it all, right?

...Sorry, started ranting!!

CW, you gotta post your picture! I can't believe I'm here crying over a little 6month weight where I actually get to see him almost every weekend... hopefully those 18months will fly by for you!!

Little, I think I saw a couple of episodes of al diablo con los guapos, but I wasn't able to watch it for some reason... Now I'm watching Amor sin Condiciones and Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre

Fifth attempt to reply, seems i have to add 10 characters, did that bit, lol.

It's hard to live separately, especially back with family, feel like a single mum with a child and reminds us of our childhood instead of being a grown woman.

It's natural.

6 Months is not long, and at least you both obviously have a supportive and loving family.

I am sorry for your lose, and obvious will and desire to have another baby... Maybe that's the key issue of why you feel the way you do, yet stress isn't going to help you, can you wait until your together again? May be a lot less stressful for you?

A that 6 months, well yes, it flys trust me...

Photo? I really only have work ones, where i look and smile, lol... See...

Take care ok.

Because so much of being depressed is hormonal, I think it is totally possible that you can go from being "perfectly happy" to "utterly depressed" overnight.
However, usually there are situational causes too. I think perhaps you have been through so much that you have been in 'survival mode' over the last year or so. Now that things seem to be calming down perhaps you are finally starting to subconsciously deal with all the heartbreak of your recent life. This can cause depression, anxiety, PTSD, among other things. The important thing to realize is that it is normal and perhaps even a healthy reaction to life's tragedies. Sometimes we need to take time out to grieve, even if we think we are okay. Make sure you have someone to talk to, professional help if you feel that will help, and know that you are not alone. Your sadness is because you are a caring and empathetic person and it is understandable that you might need some time right now to deal with everything that has happened to you.
I wish you the best of luck and all the support you need, my dear. Feel free to PM me if you would like to talk - I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for years and i know how much a sympathetic shoulder can help.

everybody goes through bouts of depression. this may or may not help you or be the case but i notice when i have PMS i get really depressed and i have to constantly remind myself that its just hormonal. its tough, but it helps!
