I feel like I'm a failure- I wish I had the ambition when I was younger- when you're watching a cop show and the victim is 5 years younger than you in a successful career that you wish you had but never had the ambition/conviction to pursue- it's a bit depressing. I just don't feel like I had much self-worth. I'm a nice person, I stay positive- but I'm not really happy and am having trouble pushing myself to be more proactive again . . . . I wish I could just work from home and not have to interact with people for a while- laying in bed all day sounds very appealing to me lately . . and yet I don't see myself as depressed . . .
Are you bipolar? You may have atypical depression, not the same as regular depression most people feel. I get that too. I can feel totally worthless for hours or days, yet if some one cracks a joke I laugh. You can also be experiencing a mix state too. Not sure. It doesn't sound like regular depression. When you get that you don't even feel like getting out of bed and your depressed all day long and could even have crying spells with no break from this for days, weeks, and even months.
