HI
I finish this semester of college and Im on vacations. It was the only thing that I wanted, I also could work in something to earn some money to go with my friends somewhere and I also took some pics from an online magazzine and they published them, something that I always wanted to do.
But someway or another people kind of disapoint me all the time now and Im feeling very depressed almost everyday, and I can´t explain why, I don´t feel energetic at all, disapointment is all I feel and I don´t know exactly why

...If you have some experience solving this , would be nice to hear it.
Bye

wow thats cool you achieved something you always wanted to,
maybe dont force yourself to feel happy if you feel bad or disappointed, know that this bad feeling will pass. try think of a time when you felt happy.

you say "people kind of disappoint you all the time"

i used to have the problem of expecting that people should be a certain way to me and when they didn't act right or say the right thing i felt annoyed/sad/angry.
the fact is people will always do things that will disappoint you but you do not have control over them, only yourself. YOU have so much power even though you may not feel like it right now. Try to exercise even for a short time because thats really important if you are feeling depressed, even a short walk around the block.

There are also some good articles online about various things to do with happiness, sadness, life etc that can be good to read.

Maybe you are projecting your own disappointment into your environment?

Like, you achieved what you always wanted...and now there doesn't seem anything else to do that would be similarly challenging or worthwhile. This often happens after completing something that needed to be earned with a lot of effort.

You have several options, but you are not sure which one is the right path to follow. Why? Maybe the one you could really throw yourself into simply isn't among them.
