That is all.
Uh-oh... I hope I don't hear a gunshot.

Brain biochemistry

Often people have brain biochemistry imbalances that cause depression that can't be overcome by therapy. In my case, I was getting suicidally depressed on account of eating allergic foods. I removed those foods from my diet and my moods improved immeasurably, my thoughts became clearer and more reasonable, and I became a much more effective, self-confident man overall.

There are lots of possible sources for your problem. I suggest seeking out a doctor who's up on "complementary" medicine, so you can find out if there's a natural way to straighten things out. It could be something very simple (though not necessarily easy).

In any case, look to biochemistry first.

And weight training does generally help ones biochemistry, but probably not enough to cure serious depression.

Eighth,

Now as you think about that funny TV programme, you may realise that you can infact influence your mood somewhat for the better.

I'd suggest getting a few vids of programmes like that and watch them again. Belly laughs release chemicals in the brain that give you a sense of well being.

The suggestions for exercise are great, but perhaps at the moment, if you have those heavy, sinking lethargic feelings, it's very difficult to get off your ass. Walking in a peaceful park would be an excellent start until you gain more energy.

By this time you should feel a bit better and feel up to taking some action.

This will make you feel 10 times better. Look at ways you can improve your lot, write down a plan, then just take the first step. It doesn't have to be massive, just start the ball rolling.

When you realise that HOPE is what you have lost and you have created new HOPE, then you will be feeling a lot better.

Don't jump to conclusions or label yourself a depressive. Pretty much everybody at some time in their life feels the way you do and even says some of the things you've been saying.

If it carries on for more than a week or two, then see a doc. Even then you don't necesarily want to be labelling yourself.
