So I'm not sure what but I think I'm missing something. I love my life but at the same time I just feel like theres something missing somethings I should be doing or maybe just feel like I have something wrong with me. I get depressed really easily but I dont know why. I have the best relationship, I'm engaged to one of my best friends and we're expecting our first child and I know depression can come with pregnancy but I know its not coming from that because I've always been a depressed person and I don't know why. I don't know what to do about it. Sometimes I wish I just wasnt here but I'm not suicidal. Honestly I wish I had drugs all the time because thats the only thing that makes me half way feel happy when I'm depressed but I don't do drugs and I wont do drugs especially now. I just don't know what to do and I don't want to talk to a doctor because gosh that just feels weird. Does anyone feel this way? If so what have you done about it? How has it helped?

Sometimes, we yearn for a purpose in life, something more than what we are doing at the present time. Seek out your purpose - is there something that you feel compassionate about, something that you would love to do, but never took that first step. Since you are young, reach deep within you and try to find out what that is, and go for it. You may have to take a chance, the first step maybe scarey, you may not believe in yourself enough, but you are still young enough to bounce back if that is the right thing for you. And of course being a good mother should be a meaningful thing in your life, plan for that child, seek how you can be the best mother possible. Read books, get information that will help you and your child succeed. Sometimes that's all we are looking for, a reason to get up in the morning, something that brings us happiness as well as giving it to someone else. Good luck

Its hard not to question yourself and retreat from reality but sometimes you just have to do things you do not want to do. You have to tell yourself 'just do it.' I understand your situation because I'm a slacker as well. Life is hard and doesn't make sense but think of it as a game that you are stuck playing. If you give up you ruin this life and if you just play the game at least no one can say that you didn't try.
