The weird ways of depression from anxiety

[beatroon]

Does anyone else get that feeling, with depression, of something in my life needs fixing but I don't know what? Logically everything LOOKS like it's fine and going well and yet I feel like everything is terrible? And you go through all the different things you could change and fixate on them in turn, like 'If we moved house then I'd feel better', 'My friends aren't my real friends', 'If only I had a job I preferred' etc.

Driving me nuts!

I can relate to all that you have written. I am suffering at the moment. x

Yeah, I feel it is common. The grass is greener mind frame. When I'm depressed and/or anxious I feel like I'm constantly looking for something to snap myself out of it, whether it be buying something I don't really need but that'll temporarily make me happy or eating something I shouldn't because it temporarily satisfies me. I find myself thinking that I'd feel better if I had a different job, etc.
