that's usually normal if you really love a person, there will always be an attachment regardless of how long you had broken up. a good crying might help to release all your pent-up feelings (regret, more importantly). find a diversion to keep yourself away from drowning into depression.trust and love yourself.a good therapy is also advisable.

Is there someone in your family you can talk to about how you're feeling? A close friend? If not, there are hot lines you can call where they have experts available to help you, and help you find solutions to your problems. When people talk about killing themselves, it's usually a cry for help. You need to seek out that help (you've already taken the first step.) There are experts with a lot of experience that can honestly help you deal with whatever pressures, difficulties, or depression is causing you to feel this way. A lot of people have felt exactly the same way you are feeling, and have gotten through it. You're definitely not alone, and happiness is not something that is unattainable, even though it may seem that way now. I wish I could offer you better advice. I certainly know how you feel.

WELL YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.  YOU SEEM A LITTLE DEPRESSED ALSO, LIKE YOU HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING, BUT WHAT YOU DONT REALIZE IS YOU HAVE PROBABLY DONE A LOT MORE THAN MANY OTHERS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD...YOU NEED TO LOOK DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF AND FIND SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.  I SUGGEST VOLUNTEER WORK WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU.  THAT WOULD BE A GREAT START!  AND AS FAR AS A JOB GOES...YOU GOTTA PAY THE BILLS SO WHAT IF YOU DONT LOVE YOUR JOB RIGHT NOW...STOP WHINING ABOUT IT AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG...YOU ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF US....NO ONE IS EVER 100% HAPPY ALL THE TIME...YOU NEED TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH LIFE'S LITTLE CURVE-BALLS AND MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY!!

having battled depression most of my life i can honestly say there is no "real" answer to this...\nit could be as simple as a genetic defect in the mind not creating enough seratonin, or more complicated as in your life turned out no where near where you thought you'd be and you feel like you let yourself, and others down.

You have some very serious depression going on here, as well as extremely poor self esteem.  Find someone you can trust to talk to because you need to.  Go to your family doctor and he/she will refer you to someone who can help.

I'm not a psychologist, but I am a social worker. You do sound like you may have some depression and/or anxiety issues. The good thing is that you have already started the road to recovery by reaching out for help. Both depression and anxiety are very curable. I have had both of these, and counseling really helped me. \n\nPlease know that when you are feeling like this is part of being down, and that things can get better. Your fears of not being good enough are very common to people who are depressed and people in general! I don't think there are many people who have not privately felt that they are not "good enough".  Self confidence can be learned. In the meantime, be gentle to yourself - you deserve it. \n\nYou sound like you could benefit from going to counseling. There are many ways to do this. You can get a referral from a community information center or 211 if there is a 211 line in your area. If you do not have benefits at work, there are some non-profit agencies if money is an issue. Some faith communities have trained counselors as well.  If you have a good relationship with your family doctor, you could also talk to them about this and see if they have some referrals. I benefitted a lot from a book called Feeling Good by David Burns which should be in most major bookstores and libraries. Of course, there are many books that you might find helpful. Best of luck to you!

You could be suffering from depression.  There are online tests available to give you a general idea.  You should see a docotor.

Please, please, please don't kill yourself!  You may feel so hopeless and sad, but killing yourself is not the answer.  You are suffering from depression.  Depression is a disease, it is a chemical imbalance in your brain that can be fixed, sometimes with medication, sometimes just with counseling!  If you have health insurance, please go to your doctor right away and tell him or her how your feel.  He or she will send you to a psychiatrists who can help you.  \n\nYou put this question in religion and spirituality, so I assume you are religious.  If you can't get to a doctor please go to your place of worship and ask your rabbi/priest/etc to help you.  They may be a counselor, or they may know one who can help you for free or for very little cost.  Even if you do have health insurance, if you  are religious you should go to your place of worship because your rabbi/priest/etc might be able to help you by getting you more involved in church activities or other activities where you can make friends.\n\nIf you ever feel that you want to kill yourself, please call a suicide hot line instead.  The people on suicide hot lines can help you find hope, get help, and stay alive!\n\nGood luck, I hope you will keep posting so we know you are OK!

If you are that sad or depressed inside then eventually it will start to show on the outside as well. You need to try talking to someone about your thoughts and feelings right now and try to get out what's really bothering you or getting you down. If you get to feeling worse you  could see a doctor and maybe try medication to help you feel better like paxil or zoloft. Just don't let it drive you insane. Talk to someone.    Good luck.

Seek out a doctor and discuss your symptoms. Depression isn't always situational, it can be from illnesses as well.\n\nGood luck.

I think you're a fox. Alcohol is the exact opposite thing to do for depression. Trust me. It's making you feel worse about yourself.\n\nFind a hobby (for me it was the gym) and focus all that negativity into something good.\n\nConsult a physician too. It's possible this could be more of a medical problem.

No, I am not because I believe that there are characteristics which have not been utilised yet and I am not fulfilling my potential maybe due to fear, anxiety or apathy or maybe the combination of all three.  Mild depression seems to be kicking in a bit- maybe I have been hurt in the past and it has not been dealt with properly.

Honey, you may have chronic depression. Get to a doctor ASAP and have it checked out. There's no shame in this. Chronic depression almost always happens because of a neurotransmitter (chemical) imbalance, that's not your fault. My spouse had this. You may have to take meds, but they could make you feel normal again. Good luck!

Yes sweetie, it does sound like you are suffering from depression. Please take these messages w/your email to the nearest doctor or clinic and get on some type of medication. Also, you MUST get out of the bed and start some kind of exercise. It will release endorphines in your brain and make you feel better. Keep me posted. Much love from someone who has been there.
