So I'm sooo damn depressed. I am a male who is 26 years old. Help.?

So since the beginning of this week, I had been depressed a lot. So yeah I wanted to die as well.

I will let you know the possible reasons why I feel like this.

1. I don't have a job. I don't have a job for around 5 years, so do some of my friends but most of them have a job and experience. I even forgot every little I learned in college. I had applied in almost every company I know, including fast food and stuffs. They either not reply me, or they say that currently the job opportunities are only available for Senior Managers or Only for Arab Nationalities [I'm Indian btw, wassup] , or only for Ladies. Some even just say that they will call me back about it [which just means sorry we can't continue with your cv]. I am basically a fresher.

2. There is a girl I love, who I want her to be with me. She said she loved me the most and still decided to chat with me because she is concerned (that is what she said). I love her too till now, but it hurts me that she decided to fall in love with another person. I don't want to talk more about this.

3. My mother is sick, my dad is getting older. Since I am jobless, I am not helping them in their health. Which is really bad.

So these things may sound so little, but it hurts me soo bad. I always wished I was dead, never tried to end my self, I will never do that. But I wish I would. It never lets me sleep properly. It kills me emotionally. Sometimes I just want to scream so loud like how Hulk does, but I don't want to disturb anyone.

    Everyone gets depressed occasionally - suicidal, even. However, such thoughts are very inward looking, which is no fun for the people around you - including any girl! You can start by giving your parents all the love and support you can. You are about the most important person in their lives and they want you to be happy.

    If you cannot find a paying job at the moment, try to find some sort of voluntary work. You'll be valued for your contributions, meet some great people and it will look great on your c.v./resume.

    Well since you cannot remember what you learned in college, look for a warehouse job, janitorial job in a hospital that offers good benefits, forklift driving, security officer, etc.. Force your self to get up early mornings, pack your self a lunch and go out and put in an application in those type of places I mentioned, and I mean get out there every day. A company will eventually call you. Go to the construction sites that are building houses; some painting or tiles subcontractor may need a person and may hire you. You got to sell yourself to these prospective employers. Once you start working and earning money, you will feel better about yourself . Working is a good thing. God designed for mankind to work and not be lazy. When you work save your money and don't spend it on your friends drinking, partying otherwise you will not accomplish a thing. If you plan to get married one day which I'm sure that you will when you meet another girl. You will have money saved for your future. Pick a girl who works too so she can be a help to you. Don't mistreat her. Girls respond to kindness. Instead of concentrating on being dead, think of what I've told you and get motivated and concentrate on finding a job. Don't ever think that you are worthless, that is a lie from the devil who wants you to take your own life (murder yourself ) so you can go to hellfire and he can laugh at God. Resist that evil devil when he puts those thoughts in your head. Jesus is the only one who can give you the peace you are looking for, if only you would ask him.

    Well, that's a sad story, but being dead won't solve anything. I mean, you have a right to be depressed, but you are here on this earth for a reason, so stop whining and grow a pair. If you can't get a job you want, try getting any part-time job. Even if it seems like something not good enough for you, just do it - it is better to earn a little and keep yourself busy, than sitting at home telling people about your depression. You won't solve any of your problems this way. Just get out the door, write a kick-*** cv and get that effing job for the sake of helping your parents. You can do it.
