That's basically the core of depression. Sometimes you can't make it go away and have to ride it out. But taking advantage of good days and doing stuff you enjoy that's meaningful to you is the best way to ensure those feelings come less and less. If they dominate your life then it's time to see a doctor for a real illness.

I want to go see a doctor.. But I don't have any money..or insurance.. Or a job.. I have Medicaid.. I think.. Because I have foodstamps.. But I don't have a Medicaid card.. I've been like this for years and it just gets worse every year.. I haven't had a bad life.. I just Can't help feeling this way and it hurts... It hurts so much..

:( I'm so sorry. That has to be really hard. There are probably free services to take advantage of in your area or online though?

@TyphoidJerry: It's okay.. You don't have to feel sorry for me... I just don't know what to do... I need help.. But I don't know how to get it.. I find it difficult to ask for help... No one I know... Knows this side of me.. Sometimes it slips out a bit when I'm around them.. And I'm devasted to have let them see.. I don't know how I would tell them without mentally breaking down and becoming a heaping mess on the floor..
