Because life is misery with the occasional flash of pleasure. Just make sure you enjoy the temporary flashes of pleasure.

are you going through some emotional issues right now? if so, you are most likely at a point of vunerability that may make it seem as if the world is out to get you. Don't worry, the sources of you crying are most likely not aiming to intentionally make you miserable. Only really evil people find joy at other's misery. If these people are really mean-spirited, you should question why you should even be interacting with them at all. You should find something that you derive joy from and have that be your focus for a while, and i promise it will take your mind off the things that make you cry!!  Feel Better! Tell yourself that YOU are better than that! :)

You should be your own best friend. There is only person in this world who can make you happy...yourself. Really, as corny as it sounds, happiness doesn't come from being with someone or having someone or the way that someone treats you...its about how you look at life. You have to live this life and if you want to live it crying or laughing...you still have to live it so why not laugh along with it. Try to make new friends, reconnect to your old friends, get some new hobbies, join a club, read good books, listen to great music, travel, get out there and take life by the horns...you're young and healthy and active...there are many people who are sick and dying and who'd give anything to be in your place so thank fate and don't feel sorry for yourself.

I honestly do not like it at ALL when people say that others have it worse.  So, I will not give you that tirade like a few other posters.  Nor will I berate you by saying get over it either.\n\nWhen you feel like this, you feel hopeless and people who just say..well others have it worse just make you feel even worse because you feel bad.  I know, I have gone through depression.  It could be a chemical imbalance in which drugs are needed.  And/Or what you could be feeling is hereditary...if depression or mental illness runs in the family..you probably have it or have a greater tendency to experience it.\n\nIf you really feel life is not important...I suggest you see a psychologist or psychiatrist.  You have to see the good things in life..its tough..but its possible.  Hope is important..as long as there is hope there a reason to live and you need to realize there is hope still.

There has to be some reason.  Talk to someone about this.  Maybe get help from a professional psychologist or something.  Maybe you are depressed, lonely, or something like that.  Dont sit around waiting for something get out and just live life to its fullest everyday.  Maybe go to church.  I hope Ive help a little.  Good luck!

Hello. I am sorry you are feeling so low. We all go through rough patches from time to time. Generally we pull ourselves through it, but if you are struggling, maybe you should visit your doctor. You are not alone in this. There are thousands and thousands of people in the world feeling just as you do right now. Try to talk to a friend or family member about how you feel and ask for their support. I am sure you will get through this hard time.

You are right...wrong attitude.  Figure out why you think "life sucks."  Are you cold, hungry, abused?  If not you have a great start in life but you must work at it.  Most of us do that are merely the poor or average majority.  Get with the program.

Hello there! I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. People are so quick to say someone has depression. You say that you act like you are the happiest person on earth, but you aren't happy on the inside. You just have to believe that you do deserve happiness! I believe that you just have low self-esteem and self worth. 17 is a hard age! Believe me...looking back I felt the same way and wondered what the heck was wrong with myself. Just the pressures nowadays that are being put on young people is enough to make someone want to give up! I know to be happy is easier said than done sometimes, and it is a lot of work sometimes. Once you start believing in yourself it will get more simple. Life is too short not to have fun--experience life. I am not saying go out there and do foolish things, but enjoy the silly stuff. I am an adult and I still like to go to toy stores and play with the puppets! Because it makes me happy. I am not here to make anyone happy but myself. It sounds selfish, but before we can help others, we have to help ourselves. Just the fact that you asked the question on here shows that you are ready and willing to make a change for yourself. I have done a lot of "stupid" things in my life, but I have learned that loved ones are there for you no matter what you do. If people really love you, they are there for you no matter what! You can make little changes in your life. Use positive affirmation..when you start to feel those thoughts of hopelessness creep in--say to yourself that you are not listening anymore. If you are still feeling beyond hopelessness, there are many people you can go to to talk about it. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for some help and guidance. It is you standing up and saying you are sick of being that way and taking control of your life. I wish you luck and hope that I helped a little! Take care!

It is probably a good idea to seek out some therapy. There may be some underlying issues as to why you feel so depressed and there are a lot of options available to aid with this situation. If you would like further assistance with help, please email me.

Because you desperately need to share...I'll volunteer to take some of your sadness away...\n\nI think most of us are trying to tell you that we wish we did have your problems. If all your money is making you so unhappy try unloading some of it on places like Louisiana or Mississippi or anyplace that has hungry people...How about taking care of the Malaria situation in any of these third world countries..no body can give you an instant answer for happiness..you have to do something about it yourself.

perhaps admitting you have a problem and calling your doctor. Sometimes you cant help but feel depressed and have anxiaty (?) It may be a chemical imbalace. Might not have anything to do with you directly.

Are you happy? Life is too short to be miserable. It sounds like the inevitable is breaking up. Of course it's hard and you'll question yourself a million time. People don't change, if you fight now you will always fight. Obviously you have some concern if you are even asking. You probably know deep down what's the right thing to do. It's never easy to go through with a break up. Sometimes you have to do things that make you unconfortable. If you don't think that you are going to get married then you are wasting your time. You could be out there finding Mr. Perfect but instead you are fighting with a person that isn't right for you.
