why do i always feel like this

Question

I am having another bout of depression I haven't left my house in 7 days. This has happened to me since my teenage years and I am 28 now . I feel like my life is over and I have no career or job. No child. Huge debts. No energy at all -- Been in bed all day and still now and yet have a wondeful family whose calls I ignore . I hate doing this to my mum and really just want to die but couldnt put my my and sister through the guilt of something like that. Why do i feel like this all the time?any advice? Thanks

I'm sorry to hear that you are so down. Sounds to me like you maybe having "a mid life crisis." Do you know what got you in this state of mind? Anything can trigger it. I've been there myself and I've watched friends go though it too. I'm also 28. 

It feels like nothing will every get you out of it, but you need to try. I still struggle with the day to day stuff myself. I don't want children but I see what other have (like a dog lol), their lives are in place where I'm still a drifter. Even though I have a boyfriend of 8 years.

I try to stop being jealous of what others have and try to set it more as goals. It can be really hard but you just have to drag yourself out of that "I'm worthless" state of mind and move forward. Things will be okay eventually even if it's not right now or today.

Hey

You feel that way because you think that way. Depression is a powerful enemy, it can suck the energy out of a person and leave a person feeling worthless and unmotivated. My advice to you my friend is to start doing the necessary measures to change your state. Consult a clinician and get diagnosis. Get prescription for necessary medications and undergo therapy. Start focusing on creating the proper mindset for a better life. Be proactive. Never give up and keep fighting. Don't let depression win.
