Do you drink heavily?
No. No alcohol or drugs.
You need to identify the cause and correct that.
what if its incorrectable?
I should be happier now that I've got a job now but I'm not. I made a lot of mistakes in my life and am sorry for it. But I can't go back in time and fix these things. Am I doomed to suffering?
Hope this is a serious post because I will answer it like it is. I have and am suffering now. I know what you mean about knowing it is not the normal blues but much worse. You just know inside it is not normal. I did go to a shrink on was put on medication and looking back I am not sure how much it helped. It may or may not have. All I know is that it was not easy by any means. I found that there were certain people who could just make me feel better and "forget" about it all while I was with them. Seek these people out and be around them whenever possible. I wish I had a concrete answer to give you about how to get through it but there is none other than if you feel it is going too far into the darkness and you are going to hurt yourself, go to a hospital tell them what you are thinking and let them help you. Other than that, try to find anything positive that does not hurt others that you can do to boost your mood. There are supplements and drugs that help but they are not a cure. The only cure is unfortunately time because it feels like it will never end. It does though. Good luck to us both, I know I need it.
jerk off less
I agree. Most depression is due to environment IMO Just change your environment.
Oh boy are we in the same boat. You will get told over and over the truth but will not accept it until you are ready to and then you will feel better. I know because I am the same way. The truth is that a lot of the time I blame myself COMPLETELY for everything that has gone wrong or anything bad that happened to me. That is simply not true. Am I responsible partially? of course. It is when I drive myself crazy by blaming myself fully for everything that I get really depressed and anxious. I need to take my own advice more often so I know how hard it is. Just try not to blame yourself completely and like you said there is nothing you can do to change what happened. Focus on what you have some power over: what you do and feel from now on. You got to me with your post. I feel the same thing all the time and when I let it become all i think about is when I get really down. Try looking at IronMeister's photoshops if you need a laugh. I don't care how depressed I am, seeing all his Tbombz photoshops makes me laugh every time.
everything in life can be fixedif you are being serious then you should probably talk to someone in real lifeairing your shit on get big is invaraibly a bad idea
This is a serious post. I think that's good advice about finding someone that would make me happy. But I fear that would just mask the depression temporarily and then if I breakup with that person or something happens I would be back in the dumps again. I don't want to be too dependent on someone.
