It's not a cycle, it's a downward-spiral. This is the accurate description of my life. I didn't realize this, until I was in a very deep and dark place, and looking up makes me feel depressed because I am way behind in life for my age, so I keep falling. I am not able to escape the fall. So, I am stuck in the middle between death and life. I am half dead and half alive. I am alive from the outside, but I am dead from the inside. This is how I feel.

I'm sorry you are feeling so... hopeless? Is that the right word? (That's certainly an emotion I'm familiar with.) Hopefully coming here to PC can be of some comfort & support.

I may or may not be on the right track here. Please forgive me if I'm off base. However here are links to 6 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that hopefully may at least begin to shed some light on what you are experiencing:

Feeling Worthless and Depression

9 Types of Hopelessness and How to Overcome Them

When You Feel Worthless

8 Steps to Like Yourself (More)

When You Feel Absolutely Awful About Yourself—Regularly
