Well I'm just reading a psych book now, and it talked a bit about how depressed people think. It said that people who are in depression always think "why does bad stuff ALWAYS happen to me?", and subconsciously your brain tries to come up with reasons for that question, like "because you're stupid" or "because you can't do anything right" or a whole bunch of crap like that, so in turn you feel like crap. so i the thing to do is ask yourself more positive questions like "what's the good thing i learned from this?" or "how i make it so that i get a better outcome next time?", and in this way, your brain will subconsciously answer those positive questions in a more positive way and you'll feel better about yourself.
i know how you're feeling. about 2 years ago I was always angry at the world, pissed that 'everything goes wrong in my life', yet i'm a perfectly healthy person, 2 arms, 2 legs, everything normal, but yet i was still always so depressed. its important to think about everything that you have, rather than all the stuff you don't have. there are handicapped people out there, paralyzed people, people with so many health problems, that love life and treasure every minute of it. i look at those people and think, wow, my problems are so miniscule compared to the problems they have to deal with. i really look up to people like that and i feel better about my own life.
so try the positive question thing, see how it goes. and hope you feel better soon!
