My life just seems to be going from bad to worse...im stuck in a dead end job, despite having 4 a levels a gnvq and 12 gcse's, i have about 3 real friends, the rest who i call friends are just friends from work or through other people i know and my relationship with my boyfriends seems to be on rocky ground, we've been together 9 months and are fine when we are together but when we're apart he just doesnt seem to be interested and i know that he's lied to me about certain things and last week I cheated on him for the second time..which is not me because I dont like people who cheat..but my boyfriend makes me feel unhappy sometimes and it was nice that someone made me feel special for once. It just seems that everything in my life is going wrong and I really dont know what to do...sometimes I think maybe ending it all would be so much easier because I dont see any hope in anything.

Firstly I would seriously think about ending it with your boyfriend, not only for that fact that you said you are unhappy with him but for the fact you have cheated on him twice.
I agree with Dr Pete that we all have a depressing time at some point in our life and it may seem never ending. If you really think you aren't coping try seeing your doctor.
On the job front how about trying something new, or doing some training? As had as it is to be positive sometimes there is hope even at the hardest times.
Good Luck!

A while ago I met up with a friend for lunch and he was telling me how great everything was going. Later that day, his girlfriend unexpectantly dumped him. The following day, he lost his job and came home to hear an answerphone message from his mum saying that his dad had a heartattack and was recovering in hospital. He had to leave his home and friends in London and move back to Wales. Months on, he now has a fantastic job, a new girlfriend and couldn't be happier.You see in bad times we can feel like everything is too much and that things will never get better. But things do get better. It sounds to me you need to be strong and make some big decisions about whether or not your relationship has any future, and then focus on some goals of some kind that you can work towards. Everyone has these kind of depressing eras in their life, but it is up to you in what you do about it that determines how long you stay unhappy for..
