just lonely, by the sound of it.
It sounds to me like you are situationally depressed and perhaps going out a bit and trying to meet some people might help. If it does not help, then it may be chemical and you might need to try some anti-depressants along with some counseling.
Why are you all alone? Can you get out and go somewhere?
Lady, you need a divorce and a change of location. If you always feel depressed it may be time to seek some therapy. If you are found to have any of the depressive disorders that are known today they could prescribe you with the medicine needed to stablise you and get you into the proper state.

I think that qualifies as being depressed.
change in eating behavior, sudden overwhelmed feeling to cry, not being social, there are many signs of depression.if u need some help I strongly advise you get it and don't wait.
i think you should try out different websites and they have adepression test. I think you can find one on MSN as well. But dont read into those tests to much. Maybe its because your husband is in another state and since you have no friends you feel lonely. That doesnt make you depressed but more lonely. Try to make more friends locally or is possible try moving to your husbands state. I think once you have a good social circle and you are with your husband and still feel depressed then maybe its more.
Try visiting a doctor and describe your symptoms, you may be suffering from something medically. But i think its most likely the fact that you are lonely and have no one to talk to,
I was that way for years, so I know what yur going thru. Find someone to talk to tomorrow. cause this place will drive you crazy.
You could have situation depression. Which is still a medically treatable depression. You should see a doctor. I understand how you feel, (all though by husband is not in another state) Good Luck :)
At least 2 weeks in a row of feeling sad, to the point that it affects your capacity to enjoy pleasurable activities.
If these "two-week or longer" episodes are a regular part of your life, and a regular burden in your life, I would opine that you suffer from depression. A shrink (the talking cure) and perhaps medicine can very likely help you.
Couple of things: have you lost pleasure in the things that you once found pleasure in?
Do you eat regularly?
Feeling blue can be normal especially if your husband is gone, but feeling depressed is another story. Are you able to get our of bed? Do you find yourself crying more?
Found a website that might be bendficial for you.
Are you crying for no reason or what seems like no reason or are you just sad and feeling down? Do you feel like being alone, staying in bed or just doing nothing? Do you feel like you are not hungry or in the mood to do anything - even thinking causes pain.
I was sitting on the bus on my way home and tears started streaming down my face and i couldn't stop it from flowing.
I was going through depression I found out later from my doctor.
Isolation is a cause for depression, missing loved ones etc.
You may be.
Only you know. But usually depression is when you have everything to feel happy but dont. You should feel happy, your life is fine, you have done the "work" inside yourself to see if something else isnt bothering you. Once that "work" is done, for example grieving a loss. And you still feel sad and unsatisfied all the time it could be depression.
Thats my 2 cents.

And also my experience.
If you are sad most of the time, you are probably depressed. I don't know if it is just situational or if this has been going on since you were young. Talk to a counselor--make an appointment with one and they can help you get on track. You can also browse the bookstore or on the web for inspirational tapes and self help books. I think you should be more forward with your husband about how serious your pain and loneliness is. If he downplays that, then you really do need to see a counselor to help you validate your feelings and how to proceed to a healthier emotional state of well being. I hope it all turns out good for you. Be sure and pray about decisions as well and do not put off getting help.
Sadness comes and goes, depression stays with you constantly. Sleeping problems, short temper, crying too much, etc. Get someone to talk to - a professional councelor, a doctor, priest, rabbi. There are support groups too. Check in the front of your phone book for these guys and if you are desperate and thinking of hurting yourself go to the Emergency Room! Its nothing to be ashamed of and there is help available. Sometimes its a chemical imbalance and you need meds.

Your husband cannot diagnose you, first of all. And depression is curable - that's the good news. (There's some girl out here who says she eats her own dandruff, so be glad you're not in her shoes!)
As far as I know, you only would be considered depressive if you do not take any kind of action to do anything against the situation.
What stops you from getting to know other people? To move to the place your husband is? Nothing really seems to hold you the place you are living now, or?
To feel better, I anyway would recommend you a one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effects are amazing, on body and soul. It's worth travelling far to experience this - the treatment is available either in California or Europe.
Significant changes in one's;
1.Appetite.
2.Need to sleep.
3.Sex drive.
are some symptoms of depression.Depressed people usually sleep more,eat more/less,loose their interest in sex,AND even loose their interest in their favourite things in their normal times.Nothing interests you any more,you lost your motivation in most things,you don't want to work,you don't want to get out of bed,you loose your life expectations and in severe depressions,the idea of death comes to one's mind very often,some think about suicide.
go see a doctor he can help you
Depression can be checmical or environmental.but environmental depression (stepping from personal situations that are not satisfactory to somone) can lead to a breakdown in serotonin in your mind creating chemicle depression.
This is from professional knowledge and from personal experience. When my boyfriend moved away I couldn't make a sentence without crying.
My advice talk to your doctor about putting you on a mild antidepresent (welbutrin works well). this should bring you up enough to work on changing things in your life.
For starters 1. Why is your husband in another state? 2. Can you make friend? 3. Do something for yourself. 4. Working out sometimes helps.
go see your doctor. some therapists or counselors don't really know. i went to one and with in five minutes she diagnoised me as depressed and my doctor said i wasn't. it all depends on the person and training tho. mabey (just a suggestion) but you could try to get marrige counseling to find out why you don't want to have sex anymore. could be something that your husbund is doing like being out of town. good luck with all the best.
