writes:Why is it anytime I have a bad day, I suffer some sort of depression?I find that these days, if I have a bad day, it's an awful one. Today, everything seemed to be going okay until it came to something really important (TRYING to record my bands CD) and it all went horribly. As a result of this, I walked away thinking "We've run out of time, the CD is nowhere near done, you're part of the worst music project in the history of mankind, you suck..." and then from there I started thinking about being single! There seems to be no reason for it other than I was angry and upset, but I started thinking "You're a complete waste, you're ugly, you don't even know how to APPROACH women, getting your first girlfriend must have been a total coincidence..." ARRRRRGH!!!!Anytime I have a bad day, everything else seems so horrible. I have a lot of good things (great things, even) going for me in life, but anytime something slips, all I can do is dwell about being single. It's like I can't accept that there is more to life other than having somebody to love. I feel like screaming into a pillow anytime I see a couple holding hands!For the past week or so, I've felt much cooler, calmer and collected regarding single life, in fact I felt myself adjusting much more than I had before, and then this happen, and it proves to me that I really don't believe I will find someone to love, and that I don't believe in myself very much generally, either.How can I de-stress?? Being angry just makes me dwell on the past, and see no happy future. This MUST stop. Help me. Reply to this Question

 Breath. Lie down on the floor of your room and breath and do some stretching. Try to improve on the ways that you talk to yourself.
You have my condolences.

 Start spending some more time hanging out with your friends.
Don't try to do anything that involves couples or anything like that as this is obviously your trigger.
If you have an older brother or sister, try talking to them, failing that speak to your Mum. Parents understand things like this all the time and because they are older and wiser they can give you the best advice.
Hope this helps and good luck.
