I cannot tell you for sure without being in your shoes, but my thinking is that if I am unhappy with life in general, that means this is a time for change.
What do you enjoy doing? Focus on that...
Camping? get out and camp.
Racing? Get out and race (or watch)
Woodworking? Concentrate on that.
Job suck? Find another
etc etc etc..
I could be way off base, but it's a thought... Good luck to you

It sounds like you aren't as remote as I had first thought. I would try to develop some relationships with some of the people that you play sports with. You could have just the companionship needed right in front of you.
Also, one of the amazing things I witnessed recently while I spent 2-1/2 months with my daughter in the hospital was how the patients reacted when volunteers would visit with dogs. After all, they are "man's best friend" and I truely believe that this was what God had in mind when he created "pets".
I am sure there are some wonderful pets available at the local pound that need a good home.

Hey, you are certainly not alone. Many of us have suffered through depression and have come through it. Please find a way to get to a good counselor. Usually they will direct you to a physician to see if there is a medical need as well. I know from experience, that medication can make all the difference in the world. That, along with talking it out and being with others who are in the same situation you are in. Best of Luck, and God bless you.

PLEASE get yourself to a Dr. immediately and seek assistance with this. Chemical imbalances can be a large part of depression. It has nothing to do with will power, it is a medical condition no less than any other. Do NOT allow fear or embarrassment stop you from getting help. You can get better and feel happy once again.
My husband did not seek help, did not share with anyone his depression and his suicide was a needless waste of his life and time with his growing sons and the rest of his family. He never gave himself a chance and no one knew until it was too late. Both his brother and father have also suffered from depression but sought help and were SO much better and happier once again after their bouts. Having the knowledge to deal with this gives you back the power............
You are truly brave to have taken the step to speak out here and look for help. Many good folks here care but they truly cannot help you other than give moral support. Consider this a cyber-hug from afar. I will be hoping for an update soon on your next steps.
I will thinking of you and hoping you can take the next step to get yourself help to truly get better. Feel free to PM myself or any of these fine RVing friends here that have responded. You CAN gain control over this depression and get your life and sunshine back in your life.
Please, do not try to simply will this away. Seek professional help.

It is important for me to recognise my depression. It is equally important to understand the few but positive times.
I feel good today.
Well, as to the first sentence quoted above. Yes, this is very true, once you recognize the problem you are well on the way to a cure.
And as for the second sentence.. May tomorrow be even better!
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

I'm so glad you're feeling a bit better. You "read" and "see" the beautiful people out there (they're answering you). Look a little further, and you'll see lots of beautiful things that we all too often take for granted. You have to "touch-home" in your heart ... do keep in touch ... there's still lots of love left to go around.

I'll be praying for you my friend. As many others have said, go see a doctor soon. If he can find something, you'll be well on the way to "recovery."
If you want a pretty good inspirational song, check out "Rise Above This" by the band Seether. It sounds pretty relevant to your situation.

I feel as if I need to help you all understand a little bit better of what I am going through and why I am in a downwards spiral and why I wish to remain anonymous. I will try to be as tactful as possible.
I was injured in a motorcycle accident “down there.”
I am unable to experience fully what being alive means.
Doctors cannot help me.
This has been my situation for over 20 years.

....most of who we are is between our ears. I cannot speak to how you must feel, but can tell you that my very closest people are on a cerebral level. I have lost much in this life and each time was emotionally scarred, to the point where I felt my identity lost. That, too, passed....Please console yourself with the people who love and respect you, and your friends here. We're always here, my brother.......
