How long have you felt like this?
We all feel this sometimes, but sometimes the mind gets stuck in one groove. If you have been like this for a while, and you are no longer enjoying those things that you used to enjoy...music, the books you used to read, films, meeting your friends, you probably need help.
Are you taking any medication now? Check it out, some medication can have side effects.
Has there been a big change in your life? sometimes if you have been working towards a goal it can leave a big gap in your life when you achieve it. What you expected to feel as a victory turns to ashes in your mouth.
If you cannot work out a basic cause, then you need medical help. You should see a doctor or a counsellor. Try to keep off the medication unless you feel you might self harm.
If you can see an underlying cause try to tackle it. You may well still need help, but it may not be medical. Why is your life suck? what do you want? How can you improve it? YOU will have to work out these answers for yourself. You must learn to change the things you can, to accept the things you can't, and know the difference between them. That's an old prayer, but it is also common sense.
However, whatever you do, unless you do end it all, IT WILL GET BETTER. Believe me. I've been there, and so have many others. You are not alone.

Don't ingnore or put aside your feelings. You need professional help and a good support system. If this is a common occurance for you, then more than likely you are suffering from depression. Don't waste another day feeling this way. Do something.
I am a Christian....ya know what I am going to say, right? I feel you may have a God shaped void in your life. Seek the Word. Jesus will bring joy to your life. Try Christian counseling. This will not only treat the symptoms but solve the underlying issue, which I believe to be sin. I am not saying that you are sinful and therefore you are depressed as punishment or anything like that.
ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23.
I realize you may not want to hear about God. I realize you may think it is all too predictable that a Christian would use this time to preach. But listen...listen.
God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
My mother suffered from depression. She got professional help and went on meds. However, she didn't completely know joy until she relied on the Lord. Her depression was eased. But her life restored when she surrendered to Christ. He can make you whole.
I am only saying this out of love. Yes, love. I don't know you but I have love for you because my God does. I hope it doesn't upset you. There was a time when my mom didn't want to hear about God. In time, she did and it changed her life. Seek help and seek the Word. I am not suggesting to simply pick up a bible and start reading and you will feel better. You need someone to help you. You may need medication. I am suggesting a whole solution and not simply one that treats symptoms.

I'm not a religious finatic, or doctor, but do have experience in this area. You aren't alone! Everyone has their good days and crappy ones. There are counceling places in your area. If you can't afford to see a private doctor, go to the clinic and tell the doctor what you are going through. They will refer you to the appropriate place to get counceling, and there is Nothing to be ashamed of to go talk to someone. Sometimes talking to someone who isn't immediately in your life, who has the education and training to know what's going on with you and why you feel this way, is just the thing you may need to get yourself back together. There are LOW doses of anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication that are available, AND you do not have to take them your entire life! The people who work in that field are not judgemental, and will not make you feel like your crazy. My best friend is a clinical social worker. You would like some of those people I promise! Start at your local clinic....

Are you alone? Separated? Have problems? Or tired of being scked-up? There are many organization to join with, to make life more meaningful. Remember, we only live once-God gave us this life to use it in a proper way. Go... and explore yourself in the beautiful place God created. If you still need somone to talk. I'm just right here, a friend willing to lend a shoulder to cry on. Both of us can make the world happy and contented. Alone? its impossible to create a complete world. No Man is an Island, my friend. Anybody can be a friend. don't be despair, God is carrying you-the foot prints in the sand...

Sh1t happens. Or maybe you feel like you're always at the bottom of the line. I assume you only allow them to get into you or simply surrender to them rather than deal with them. Why not try finding ways to remedy whatever that makes you feel sad? You just might succeed and find yourself appreciating your efforts. But if you fail, you have a safe excuse of saying at least you tried to remedy them. When you're feeling sad and you're all by yourself, try putting on some music, especially the ones you like, but not the ones that whines about being broken-hearted.
I strongly suggest for you to do something rather than just sit in the corner and cry. Seeking your family's or friends' help will do, too.
You should not find yourself reasons to feel sad. I'll be stupid. Avoid it.

You whiney lil cry-baby....get over yourself! Self-pity is a very bad strategy for life. Why should your life be great? What have you done today to improve your situation? In life, you get what you deserve....and if your life sucks then it is because you're making it that way with your thoughts, actions, choices, and self-pity.

Write a list of all the things that make you sad, read them and then think of ways of changing them to things that make you happy. Change the things you can, accept the things you can't.

If you feel like this you may be suffering from clinical depression. Get help and feel better. Please don't throw away something which is the most precious thing you have and which would cause pain to so many others.
