What I see is that if you hate everything (that would include all of us and ATS...you wouldnt have just come on here to yell at us all. Your'e here because...like it or not..."hate-everything-or-not"...you deep down really DO care. And I dont think at all that you hate everything.
Ever heard the phrase "self-affirming"/ Or "affirmation"? It comes to mean you are what you think most. Keep saying negative things and that becomes that. Really positive things said can bring about positive reactions. Negative affirmations said over and over? Well...it'll stay that way for you.
Search out Saturday Night Live on YouTube for "Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations" A hilariously poigant example.
Stuart, everyday while looking at himself in the mirror: "Im GOOD enough, Im SMART enough...and DOG-Gone it! People LIKE me!"
Again I seem to keep quoting the Beatles lyrics: "...in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make". Love is all around and where you find it. And if you look hard enough, and ease up on yourself and negativity...believe me. Love may even find you.
Peace MS
Excuse the language but that's bullchit. I've been down all my life. I have spent most of my life with my forehead in my hands. People who haven't been depressed don't know chit about what it's like to be in a mental prison of iron. I have been to "professionals", they don't know chit. I seek answers in spirituality but it's a fuking slow process and only God knows if it leads anywhere, because he made me the hopeless little bacterium that I am, and created the piece of chit world around me. Including this piece of chit forum and all the piece of chit posters on it.
YOU do not have a monopoly on depression, young man.

EVERYBODY has had to deal with depression.,and as long as you continue to feed it with your negative thoughts, and wallow in self pity, it will never go away.
You appear to have WAY too much time on your hands. Get a physically demanding job, and you will soon be too tired to have the energy to be depressed.
If working is beneath you, try helping those less fortunate than yourself. If you focused on the things you DO have, instead of what you don't, your perspective is bound to change.
If you have spent most of your life with your head in your hands, you have had way too much time on your hands.
Instead of whining on forums, research the power of positive thinking, chronic depression, meditation, how to overcome negative thinking, etc....that is, if you are TRULY tired of being miserable.
Perhaps you just like the attention you get from your 'woe is me' game.
Perhaps you are not willing to exert the effort it would take to change.
Perhaps you are afraid to change, preferring the familiar over the unknown.
The only thing that is clear is that you don't really want help; just want to sympathy.
All of these nice people here have reached out to you and offered you help, but you just bite their hand.
Why don't you TRY some of their suggestions, and THEN come back with a new thread telling us how much better you are doing.

Sounds like you want a piece of the action.
Perhaps you will be the first?

Bad things happen in this world, I can see the OPs point. Some people get a harder rougher deal in life than others. Personally I think life has set many of us up to fail. There is no God, there is only # that
Personally, I think the op was more than likely raised with a sense of entitlement; mom and dad finally closed the pocket book, and he is throwing one big tantrum.
Out.

Are you laughing at my weakness? Do you seriously think it's funny? Do you have any empathy at all? Or do you lack it or lack something else/hurting/have some fear inside and that makes you project that by laughing at my weakness? Or am I misunderstanding? What do you mean?
