I want to know things that can't easily be known, if indeed they can be known at all. I've tried leading a normal life but that never works - I'm always unhappy. I'm not bipolar either. I'm always this sad but I do very much want this to end. But then I think, 'what's the point in being happy as everyone else appears to be if it is a life led in ignorance'?

how old are you....21...is it any consellation that as you mature things change....they really do...I was saying to someone just yesterday...what a mess I was at that age! a total wreck....

do me a favor...sit down one night and right down all the thoughts you have in your head, what is you saying to you...listen throughout the day at what is being said in your mind. This does two things, 1, it helps it out of the head and puts it into some dealable form, secondly it will show you why you are unhappy....

your ego is talking to you and you are thinking it is you...its a tricky little bugger!

maybe post your thoughts on here for others to give you a positive spin

I see depression as a mental illness...anyone can get mentally ill. It unfortunately carries a stigma. If people have physical pain they see a doctor or undergo alternative treatment to take away the pain but with mental illnesses many people don't do that.

It's good that you got counseling David I would say live in the present and take one day at a time. Go to counseling for as long as you need to.

Well friend, I just want to encourage you not to give up. You really do have the capacity to make your life anything you want it to be though I know you can't at present see that. Get professional help for the depression problem; and it is possible that you may come to see what a wonderful life might lay before you.
