I've been depressed my entire life. Even as a child I'd randomly be overcome with feelings of despair despite having no reason to feel that way. I'd just wake up, feel like dying, then sleeping would make it go away. So I believe I was just born this way and am predisposed to being suicidal. I pushed these feelings deep down and setup goals for myself to keep me going. Graduate high school, graduate college, get a job, buy a nice car, get married, buy a big house, etc. My latest goal was centered around my career and money. After 10 years of graduating college, I managed to become head of my department and I make a half million a year. Yet I lost my entire family in the process cause I was too caught up in pursuing my goals. I have zero friends as well cause all I did was work and have developed a really boring personality cause I have no interests outside of work. My life is very lonely now and I don't know what other goals I could strive for to keep me going. I now just regret the pain I will cause my husband when I eventually leave him.
