Is it normal to want attention

Sometimes i feel sad out of nowhere and i just want to let someone who I'm close to know. But this always seems to come off as attention seeking and annoying so I try not to.

    If that's how you feel, then it is most definitely not attention seeking. It's ok to ask for help, attention & affection from the people that love you & I'm sure they'd gladly give it. That's one of the most insidious parts of feeling down or depressed- it'll make you not feel worthy of the help you need.

    Just look at it this way. How would you feel if one of your friends or family members told you they were feeling down & needed you? You would probably never dismiss their feelings & judge them as attention seeking. I'm sure they would react the same way. Everyone needs support & that's nothing to be ashamed of.

    Call a crisis hotline. Ask them where you can go for help.

    Normal, that's why it's nice to be married.
