I Battle Depression and Anxiety

Depression has been the basis on my existence since I was born. My life is/was always depressing. Never had much luck in anything and it doesn't get any better. When is this going to be over? I'm really sick of all the bad luck I have to endure from MY freak life.

Depending on what has caused your depression in the past and what brings it about in the present, I'd say it's worth looking to confront that and explore it with someone to get a fresh perspective and develop ways in which to combat the triggers.
An important thing is to recognise that no matter what depression you're experiencing, it will eventually lift and give you an opportunity to do something about it. While experiencing depression, it often feels like we've always been that way, when the reality is that we have had plenty of moments where we were free of it; it's just being able to remember those moments.
