It seems like my best years are behind me. Each year I tell myself that things will be better, but it seems like each year things get worse. I used to believe it when I told myself that things would get better, but I'm having trouble believing it anymore. It seems like each year I lose something else value, something that makes life worth living.

Have you thought of seeing a psychiatrist or a counselor?
I'm just asking is all, i'm not gonna say you must cause that is a decision for you to make.

I understand completely. As time goes by I've started to wonder if telling myself things will get better is a waste of time, because nothing ever has improved. However after falling to the depths of my depression a few weeks ago I now know that it's best to tell someone before you get to that point, because once you are there it's a lot harder to get out of that mindset. Life is unpredictable, some people seem to have more struggles than others but if you ask for help things might get better, & at least you can say that you tried.

Try not to look at life broadly. It's almost always cripplingly depressing.
The best you can do is relish whatever recreation you have. A hobby might be nice.

I'm sorry you feel that way. You could try taking up a new hobby, but often that is crap and doesn't work. Remember you're always welcome at WP to talk about stuff thats upsetting you if you don't want to see a councillor.
What would you like to see happen in your life?
Step two is making it happen.
