Answer 1

How is your life in generally? Do you live in an tidy apartment? Is the sun getting to you? How are your family relations? Are teher thing that you need to end or begin? It is very important for humans to have some sort of tidyness in their life, it different for everyone, so its difficult to compare one self to others. You should start by looking inside yourself and seeking your own happiness. Are you satisfied with your looks? Are you happy about your friends? Are you doing things that YOU want to do? Remember life is to short to be living life the way you dont want to! The time gone wont be back, so live every day to the fullest! And take a walk every day for at least one hour! This will get you some sunlight which has healing powers. Maybe you need to see a Life Coach, one who can help you find your true goals in your life, one who can help you be content about your life and your situation.

I have suffered from chronic depression for a decade, I thought I could handle it myself, I thought professional help was only for the weak. I was wrong, my life had a dramatic turn for the worst about 3 years ago and I tried to commit suicide. I have been going to therapy regularly for about 7 months and been on an anti depressant steadily. It didn't make my life magically better, my problems are still there but they are easier to deal with.
Please don't do what I did and battle this alone for years, It doesn't make you less of a person to ask for help. Don't waste years fighting and have to look back at how much time you wasted that you can never get back. The longer it goes untreated the harder it will be to correct.
In my situation I waited to long, dispite my best efforts it is too late for me and my time grows short. Don't wind up like me please seek some help now.

I cant say for sure that you are depressed, but it would seem that you are very self-centered in your thinking. Try to get some interest in something other than your self, volunteer at a nursing home, sick kids, some thing along those lines. At the very least it well help put things into a better perspective and who knows, may just be life altering. I hope things improve for you.

Answer 4

I think it is a choice. I went through a period of my life with this same attitude. One day, hopefully sooner than later, you can wake up and make the decision to be happy. Try to understand there doesn't always have to be something "wrong" and it is OK to be happy. Do you keep a journal? If you write down your daily thoughts then read them later it may help you realize your negativity is nothing more than trivial and time consuming. Good luck.
