I have been highly depressed for last two years. Everything goes wrong, I tried to study, to work, to have fun?

hanging out with friends, but still it gets me and I no longer enjoy life, beeing here. I did not want to tell doctors about my problems, eat pills and similar stuff as I felt I could help myself, but I failed. Is there any chance to achieve happiness in my life yet ? No longer I enjoy things, I used to do, dislike people, like to be alone, gave up arguing etc, weird, but true. Perhaps I am just lazy and fed up, but why ? I am young, have a loving wife, some money, it aint that bad, but I cant reach happiness. Thank you, all advice with be appreciated.

    Listen, sometimes you have to get professional help and take medication and for you it sounds like you need it. If you were in physical pain wouldn't you go to your doctor? If you had a fever wouldn't you take some medicine? Mental illnesses are not inferior to physical ones and need to be taken seriously.

    You should talk with your wife about it and tell her you need to get help. Evidently you haven't given up, so don't let it get to the point where you do.

    Getting help and having someone to talk as well as medication will benefit you immensely and i really hope you take my advice. Good luck

    I had a friend who got over depression with exercise, specifically jogging. You could get to the gym, walk, jog, or do tennis, etc. and see that exercise could likely improve your mood. Also, know that God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could check out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group as a good way to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
