Why Am I So Depressed And Feel Hopeless At Home But So Happy At Work?
I live with my mother who is an extreme challenge to live with and I feel so depressed and irritated when I’m at home. I’m in feel better when she’s not there but when I’m at work I’m totally happy and feel like I’m myself. When it’s time for me to go home, I feel depressed just thinking about my commute home.

being around people at work and having conversations with your work mates make you happy but then the thought of going back home and having to go back to your mother puts you down. i think its the contrast of having a good time at work and then going home to that. your home should be somewhere where you can relax and just get to grips with things but instead being home becomes more of a hassle. not being able to relax in the comforts of your own home might be making you depressed.
i feel that way sometimes too. although, my parents are not hard to live with. i like to think its the fact that i may be surrounded by more people at work than home. but, knowing that your mom is hard to live with or whatever, you may find that work lets you let loose sometimes and have fun, where as you cant at home. im no psychiratrist, but maybe this helps. try to go and hang out more with friends, or just go out by yourself. that seems to help me alot. hope i helped! gl
I am the same my friend.. but i get on with the mother!
Its other issues which i dont know how to address.. its good that u feel happy at work n can b urself tho! stick at it think of the money but focus on ur social life wher u can (if u choose) be urself!
Your mom seems to be the crux of the problem. You have to ask why that is.
