How do I know if I'm some sort of depressed

I'm having one of those hard days at work that forces me to reevaluate my situation in life. I hate my job and I feel like it's been my life for the last 7 years. I'm very competent but that's all I believe I'm capable of achieving.

I'm not sure if things are getting harder or my cracks are beginning to show but it's probably both.

I know plenty of people have it worse than I do, but I'm still feeling hopeless. I hate to be dramatic but it's therapeutic writing this out and to tell someone

It's okay to be dramatic. You don't need to compare lives with anyone else's so to have valid experiences.
What other things other than competent would you like to be ?

@SW-User I would only like to be competent. But if you mean competent in, I'd say financing

Thanks, by the way

@caPnAhab of course.. I think you are interesting.. you're usually soft and smooth.
Do you have any hobbies outside of work ?
Or maybe a long hike would be a good idea.
Let's go to the Camino del Santiago :)

@SW-User art is one. I'm starting considering maybe I can sell it, if it's worth buying

I haven't been on a hike in a while but that would be great. I've always wanted to see the Redwood Forest in California. Somewhere closer would be Red Rock Canyon

@caPnAhab you won't know if you never try...

Hikes are always worthwhile. Arrange for one.
Red Rock Canyon would be on my list too if I were around there
