I went to college, I was able to travel to a lot of countries since 1986, I have worked with a lot of companies (though I did not stay more than 2 years for each employment), I am presently down with a bad case of arthritis, no permanent job, leaving me so depressed most of the time, and I feel I am not a very good husband and father to my family.
Please help...

This is the problem of my eldest brother. He doesn't take advice from me or my younger brother due to the fact that he is the eldest of the brothers. I know that is bullsht... but I really do still want to help him. He is 49 years old.

I guess, our few sentences won't help you much. I suggest you to read Stephen Covey's book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It's the best book I have ever read.
Give it a try. You will bless me for that.

Sounds like youve been very accomplished throughout your life, and now with something like arthritis holding you back, you feel that your success is on the back burner. You are probably a great father and husband, just down on yourself at the moment. If you want to try to mend the father and husband relationships try a "family day trip", and visit an attraction in or around your area, your family will be sure to appreciate it. Try not to get down on yourself, even when it sounds impossible, look on the bright side! :) :) :) Good luck...

Have faith homie. You know what you are good at and what you can provide. It just right now you need some taking care of. You know a friend once told me God never gives us more then we can handle. If you feel you need to talk to someone about your depression, do that. It will help you. Don't feel like your worthless because your not able to do your best right now. You seem like your a good/smart man and you just need to get better. Sometimes that in itself takes time as well. You see what I mean by that? Take care of yourself and you will be just fine.

just keep in mind that expectation comes with habit. if you think you are pessimistic and you feel your existence useless, then you'll end up expecting that way and living your life with that in mind.
the easiest thing you can do is immediately after waking up, listen to a very positive song and try to tell yourself that today, you will try your best to do the things you didnt have the chance to do yesterday and all the days in the past.
just try!

Depression is understandable, you should just give it some time, if things don't get better, or you don't feel better about it, then see a doctor about medication, try that.

You become what you think of yourself. You think you are Loser (even though reality says different) and you become one. Depression is only post factum sign. Change your attitude and you will see results.
