Is this depression or unhappiness or both?

I have had all the symptoms of depression for 6 months now and know i am doing nothing to help myself, i have turned into a horrible horribl person, everyone says it is just depression but it was triggered from returning home after travelling overseas and my action ssince then have sabotaged my life even more, now i can not see anything that i do as helping me as i am truly unhappy with my life circumstances and they cannot be changed as the last 6 months cannot be changed, so its not the depression that is making me like this i really am unhappy and in a terrible frame of mind, wasted my last 6 months but cannot change it! i hate myself so much is it really depression that does this or is it actually that i am unhappy?

As a person who has struggled with depression I understand many of the things you are sharing with us. I believe that you are describing depression. It often overcomes us with feelings of low self esteem and failure. I would recommend that you consult with your family doctor about what you are feeling and struggling with. He/she may be able to help you find some support.

Addendum: Many psychiatrists recommend we not make life changing decisions while we are depressed. To find happiness, you may need to first deal with the depression. With the right counseling and support, you will gain a better attitude toward life and be ready to make major decisions. Good luck.
