Forums - General - Does anyone else ever feel depressed in spite of having a good life?

Right now I am just feeling like a complete loser.  I got e-mail from a company called NetApp saying I didn't get the internship I interviewed for and ever since just felt like my life has been a waste.  I have been turned down positions in the past, but this was one I really wanted and I thought I did alright in the interview. Now I am just going through my thoughts thinking of how unordinary my life has been.  I like to think of myself as an optmistic person, but for some reason I just can't get out of this slump.  I was just thinking I can't remember the last time I had honest care free fun.  Isn't that a little sad for a 21 year old?  Sure I hang out with my friends and I have a girlfriend, but I feel like my is going to be over before I ever get a chance to enjoy it.  

 

EDIT:  I just want to thank everyone for their kind words.  I am feeling much better today and it is in part due to you guys.  This was the first time since I started dating my girlfriend, which will be 3 years in January, that I felt really down.  I hope it doesn't happen again for another three years.

Sure, but I eventually get over it. I tend to question my career choice at least once a week.



Tagging because I'm off to bes.

And short answer: Yes, I do get depressed.



I feel for you mate, i have suffered from depression and it can really get a hold of you. I got over it by learning to appreciate all the positive things in life i have done. Also having a good wife and caring family helped too, i know you have had a set back, its how you pick yourself up from it that matters. Good luck i hope you feel better soon.



i feel like crap each day

Yeah. I've been struggling with that a bit lately. Just try and count your blessings and be as positive as possible.



Im suffering from it right now. Just finished my degree. Unsure about the future. Looking for work. Grandfather died. Anxiety disorder. Im overwhelmed right now and im starting professional help on monday. Its better to talk to someone than just keeping to yourself. I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just keep at it friendo there is nothing to be ashamed.



Bet with ninjablade:

Ninjablade wins if the next 5 multiplat on the wii u are inferior to the 360 version.

I win if one of the 5 mulitplats are on par or superior on the Wii U.

One of the defining themes of emo is being depressed despite having a relatively luxurious life =P

Not saying you are, there are other important factors too - like being stereotypically punk.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

+ Degree from good university
+ Supportive family
- No girlfriend or any experience of that nature
- No friends
- No job. Rejected from everything so far.

I got over depression last year but doesn't change the facts



Never.
