I think I might have depression for the first time in my life, and it's due to my current life situation.

I moved to another city to be with my now wife (3 years ago) who I was madly in love with. We did long distance for a year and it was very stressful, but it was passionate.

I left my job/career, all my friends and family, and my life style that I enjoyed. But she was worth every bit of it.

Though we love each other a lot, I'm starting to realize that we aren't as compatible as I thought; we were brought up two completely different ways. I didn't think that would matter at first (love conquers all etc.), but it's starting to really show now. I feel that there might be resentment building as a result. She also has some very polarizing character traits that she didn't show until after I moved here that I have a hard time dealing with. Our relationship is in a serious rut, but again, we love each other a lot.

Also, after struggling to find consistent work (its notoriously hard in this city), I finally found a very good paying job that I love and have had for over a year. But three weeks ago, I learned I might lose the job because of budget issues. I don't want to start over again...

Everything is starting to add up and I'm not sure what to do. I miss my friends and family so much; my family consistently tells me they miss me and wish I was back home.

I feel bad for writing this and admitting to what might be happening. It's hard, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
