I used to, but not now. I used to be really depressed, but that was because I was living with people that didn't treat me well. now, I'm happy most of the time.

this life is teaching us not to be disappointment and breakdown .... breaking up , disasters , gloomy days, bad luck, misfortunes, accidants, diseases ,.... alllll of them will be as a memory we'll remember it after a while and we'll smile and sometims laough out loud .... so smile now and tomorrow and everytime .... and remember " the past has gone and the future didn't come ... so why we don't live our present with a big smile

Isn't this one of life's biggest questions?  Ultimately it is through your day to day choices as to whether you have a good life or not.  For example, if you make bad or questionable choices at work and end up getting fired, well, that's your fault.  You, however, have no control over other people's ability to make choices for themselves.  Sometimes unfortunately, other peoples stupid mistakes affect us and then we have to deal with them.  If you're in a good relationship, then you chose well.  If your future looks bright, keep it that way by always looking at the bright things.  If you're "ultra-depressed" something tells me that you are not a "cup is half full" person.  Try being optimistic for a change.  When something goes bad, try to find the good things in your life.  I'm married and when things get financially tough for my husband and me we try to look at what we do have instead of the things we don't have: we are healthy, we have food on the table, we have each other, etc.  I know it sounds so lame, but let me tell you, I am a much happier person when I count my blessings instead of being the victim.\n\nI have a friend who has crap thrown her way ALL the time.  I've never seen someone have to deal with as much as she does and most of it is stuff that is completely out of her hands (she has multiple schlerosis, can't EVER have kids, husbands job is crap, etc.).  But she is the most upbeat person I have ever met.  She never complains when it would totally be in right to do so.  She always worries about other people's simpler problems.  She's pretty amazing.  I wish I could have the same outlook and understanding that she apparently has on life.  Maybe try it.\n\nWell, good luck with your life!

I felt exactly like that after I had accomplished the "expected minimum criteria" of an outfacing happy life; the house, the family, the good job, etc.  \n\nI decided to tackle the things I wanted to do in this life, regardless of what people expected from me.  I went to an opera last summer and realized the best part of the opera was watching the violins.  So, I decided to take violin lessons!  Now I'm a middle-aged violin student walking right into my teacher behind the kids!  I don't care, it makes me happy and entertains me.\n\nDo what you want to do now, don't let anything stop you.

I wouldn't say I had a bad life even though certain aspects of it really get me down sometimes. I think i might be a pessamist. Even when I might be having a good time I think to myself "well, it will all be over soon". I also think that the more we think we have the more we think we want or need. Yes greed could be the right word. Sometimes a simpler life is a better life. Sometimes we can never have enough and never think we are happy enough.\n\nI didn't have the same opportunities as other people when I grew up; wether this is good or bad is all relative.

I'm sure everybody has but to different degrees i mean you could have a really shitty day and think i just want my life to end...or you could suffer from deep depression and really want to end your life ....i hope that's not the case with you?

It is possible that you are not satisfied with wht you are doing.. YOu are not satisfied with your life style. Obviously, you do not have a high esteem.. Are you attempting to compare yourself with others who you think are perfect or near so?

yup lots of ppl do.... in my case its a recurring phenomenon..... like a cycle or something.... and when it comes, i'm very close to ending everything.... but then something always stops me.... cos, there are lots of things in this world to live for and fewer reasons to die for.... all i can say is, take it easy on urself and stop feeling so sorry for urself.... u gotta make friends and family... and once u get them, wouldnt that be worth living for?

It's all in how you view it. Things happen and we ask or wonder why. Sometimes we spend too much time in our self pity. \n\nOne thing I do is evaluate my life and I realize that if the things happened to me didn't happen, I wouldn't be where I am right now. \n\nWe grow through our experiences if we allow it and we can use them as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks\n\nChin up! Smile and remember someone else out there is worse off than you are.

Sometimes you have to get caught up in the blah, to appreciate the good.  I am not suggesting dwell on the blah's, but learn from them so you can do better next time.  I love life, I love my children's life, I love my husband's life.  I thank god every day for my wonderful life, and when I think I have it bad, I can think of others that have it ten times worse then I do.  This is always a humbleing experience.  Life in my opinion is a gift, and I fully plan to appreciate every day that I have with those that I love.

Nope, I think that feeling comes from not being happy with your current situation. Change the situation and you will feel fulfilled.

I have had several times in my life such as yours. The best thing to do is to try to look at the good things in your life rather than the bad. Life has many ups and downs, however the downs stick out more than the good so it is important to try to focus on those things that make you happy. Time tells all and things will surely get better. Your attempts to make them better will only help along the way.

This is easy. Only when you have expectations, can you be disappointed.  And when you have something to lose, property, reputation, friends, job, then you can be controlled by the fear of maybe losing that.  When you have little or nothing, then you have nothing to lose so you really do not care.  Either we as people are mostly self-centered (nothing to lose) or we think of others (care, kind, concern).  Thankfully, most of us are genuinely good and want to make the world a better place, so we want to do what we can to make it better.

Well I just kept boosting myself up.  I use to feel the same way.  Then I learned you only have one life and if you spend the whole time being sorry for yourself you miss out on tons of awesome experiences.
