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!

I hope you start feeling better mate. Depression really can ruin a persons life and change a person completly when it gets out of control. Three things I have to say
a) Keep away from drugs (I don't mean illegal, I mean altogether). It can be really easy to go see the doc and get him to put you on pills or whatever, but this is just a temporary solution and does nothing to address the underlying problems the person has. And it will just make it all the more difficult when you come off them after however many months and realise they've done nothing.
b) Talk to people, but not too much. I know they say it's good to have somebody to talk to and to share your problems with and that's true so confide in friends if possible. But at the same time don't fall into the trap where you think you can solve all your problems just by talking about them, because there comes a time where a person has to actually take some action.
c) Look forward. It doesn't have to been far into the future, just think about where you want to be in two months time, and what you want to have accomplished. They don't have to be major things...just little things like reducing your debts by a couple of hundred quid, or decorating your room, or saving up enough money to buy that nice mp3 player. Then make a positive effort to make these things happen. And when they happen think ahead to what you want to accomplish next, and maybe start looking further into the future.
Anyway, that sofa looks comfortable so I'll let you go now so I can have a sleep.
