Feeling Meaningless

I don't want to sound like a compaining slob, especially since there are so many people out there who are really suffering and passing through great tragedies.
But the thing is, the last couple of months I have been feeling greatly depressed and feel useless and meaningless.
I wake up every day kind of asking myself "Why am I here, what am I doing? I'm not worth anything, I'm just taking up space in the world, accomplishing absolutely nothing."

It could be something to do with the summer vacations. I'm working on the weekends, but even in my job I feel useless, as though I accomplish nothing in the end (working in a cafe isn't earth-shattering, I must acknowledge)... but right now I feel like just giving it all up. Like dance, I feel I have no talent, no will-power. Indeed, I have been in need of losing about 6-7 kilos for about two years now, and I just never get around to it. I just can't seem to stop eating. My life is so messy, ugly, pointless...

What is the cure to this? What is the cause?
Are some of just simply not born to greatness?

//T.L.//

All of us question ourselves at some point in life, why we're here, what we're doing, are we really making any difference? It sounds as though you have lost your self confidence, which is not always an easy thing to get back.

"Are some of just simply not born to greatness?"

We are as great as we want to be or allow ourselves to be.

I agree

Why dont you take a day and do what you love to do? if you think that your depressed you might want to go see a social worker. they can help
