I suppose i just need to vent to people who can't see my face. I'm going thru a bout of depression...it isn't full blown, i hope not at least. But it's coming. I'm questioning my life, my decisions, my marriage, my parenting...is this normal? Sometimes I feel like I'm not in love with my husband and never have been. Most of my decisions have been made on a whim, getting married was no different. maybe it was a mistake?
I feel trapped. by my life. my kids. my husband. my depression. my anxiety. i feel i have no freedom....from anything or anyone. i know i'd be a drugged out mess if i didnt have my husband or family to keep me "in check", but i'm still so sad inside. i dont know if i need to be alone to decide what's best for me. but i dont want to be alone. being alone scares me. and i wouldn't really be alone anyway, i have 2 boys (4 and 2) and i couldnt leave them with anyone-what would they think of me. how do i escape the mundane life i've created for myself. i can't go back in time. i wish i could. i know at least one of you will think me a monster, but, i wish i never had kids or got married. i'm a mess...what was i thinking. i never lived alone so i dont know what that's like. maybe it the depression talking. i mean, i love my kids, and i love my husband. i just dont love my life. sometimes i feel like i'm living a lie. like everytime i tell my husband i love him, i can hear myself in the back of my mind saying "no you dont". sometimes i feel God has abondoned me...or maybe i just can't hear him.
i feel like i'm losing my faith. why did God make me like this? Damaged? i don't know. I suppose it isnt for me to know, but it'd be nice to hear him say "dont worry, i know what i'm doing" or that "it will all be worth it"...but right now, i just feel pain.

I'm so sorry no one has replied yet. The Substance board is really dead. Could you please post on the Psychology board? It has lots more action, and supportive people.
