You sound fairly depressed to me. I also hate getting out of bed, going to work, and being around people. I don't even like leaving the house. I know only too well about being an angry monster.
Have you ever felt this way before or is it the first time? Has anything major changed in your life to make you feel this way?
I would highly suggest going to psychiatrist and discussing if medication is right for you. I've been to many different psychologists (therapy) and pretty much all of them had been a waste of my time. I don't respond to that form of treatment at all. I barely respond to drugs as well.
If your spouse really cares about you, and you want the relationship to last, I would ask you to educate him/her on what is wrong with you. It's very important for them to understand what is happening to you in order for them to deal with it.
Let us know how you're doing.
> I have been tossing the thought back and forth for a while and have been afraid to admit or think "Am I depressed ?" I'm afraid I'd be asking for "pity" from other people, or afraid of sounding "to sick".
> I hate getting out of bed, I hate being at work, I hate being around people. I've become afraid of any type of intimacy with my partner and I feel myself pushing pushing pushing away. I don't notice the color of the sky or the trees or animals anymore. I hate doing the things I once loved to do. I just want to feel happy again instead of an angry monster all the time. I'm tired of feeling so much self hatred. It's exhausting.I'm driving my partner insane.
> I'm in therapy, feeling very stagnant, I suppose I'm trying to rush "treatment" too much. How can I feel better? How can I feel happy???????
