What's got you depressed?

I don't know. It sort of just sets in every night, along with loneliness

Hmm, I get the same way. Not as frequent as I used to, but it still happens from time to time. I'll tell you what helped me, since I don't know exactly how you feel. But for me, it was feeling like I was less than everyone else, and that they'd just look down on me, no matter what. After all, I am in a pretty shitty spot in life at the moment. But back to the point, if you're genuinely unhappy, you've got to just say screw what people think and do the things that make you happy. If you're not yourself just for the sake of not being lonely, you'll never find a true connection. However once you start being yourself, you'll find like minded people that you can feel genuinely connected to. It usually sets in a night because there is nothing to take your mind off of it. You're stuck laying in bed somewhat forced to look at your life. The only person that can truly start the initial climb out of depression is you. It's a risk putting yourself out there as you actually are, but it's worth it. Again, this is just what helped me. I hope it could help you, even in the slightest bit.

I think my problem stems from where I live in relation to people I enjoy talking to online. Due to people in real life not liking me despite my best efforts, I am left with online individuals. But, amazingly, I only seem to meet North Americans and some Europeans. This leads to those people, who I've grown attached to in a way, not being around to talk to because o the massive time zone difference because I'm anywhere from 17-23 hours ahead of North America and 12-13 ahead of Europe. I hope that that made sense.
