Hi, Beth. Welcome to the forum. I'm not a doctor but sounds like you may have some depression going there. Been to see your doctor or a "mental health professional" about your situation? Might be worth an appointment to rule out at least a physical cause. I'm a bit older than you (57) and have a similar job situation. I've always had some mild depression, even as a kid. When the others were out playing I'd be crying in my room, not all the time but it would hit me every so often. I don't cry now about that now, but get really down when things aren't going well, or I think they aren't going well. When the wife asks "what's the matter" I just don't have a good answer for it.
I will say that having something to do around the farm really helps, even if just cleaning up some old tools or putting together something or working on the tractors (Lord knows there is no end of things that need done!). I have no reason really to be unhappy, sometimes I just am. Hard to understand if you've not experienced it. Maybe a hobby or project would help you.
I will say too that I think the current political and social climate in the country are not helping the attitudes of people either, especially if you are of a more conservative bent, and I mean socially or financially. Grinding recession, high unemployment, socializing of the government and health care, higher taxes, assault on Constitutional rights, etc. all take their toll. In the last big recession I was young and dumb and just making my way but there was a similar "feeling" about things.
Good luck to you, I hope you find what makes you happy.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
