It sounds to me it is depression go and speak to your GP.

Answer 4

I think you're just more depressed than anything. Why are you feeling hopeless? I mean, everyone has their "off" days when they feel like that, but if you feel like that almost every day then you might need something to boost your confidence. Maybe it has something to do with your job. Is it depressing? Depression is a type of personality disorder and there is help for it.

I hope you find a solution which works out for you.

Good luck. :)

There is not enough information to tell what is going on.  You really need to get evaluated by a psychiatrist.
