I'm feeling depressed and discouraged. I've been feeling like that for practically all of my life. Most days are mediocre but there are some real bad days. There have been some good days, but not many.

I'm feeling discouraged because of the lack of a good social life. My family is like nothing, I don't have good quality friends, and my neighbors don't seem to like me.

I have a semi-annual dental check up this Thursday. I'm really not looking forward to it. It's putting a damper in my spirits for this week, though when it's over and if it goes well, it won't make much of a difference on how I feel.
