Why do i feel like this?

I should be the happiest person in the world, i have great parents, a lovely boyfriend, good mates and a decent job, yet i still cant shake this feeling of being totally down. I dont want to feel like this but i cant get rid of it.

Answer:
Anti-depressants may well have a value, but they generally they serve to mask the reality experienced.

The reality of 'the experience' and what is causing it is best looked at with the help of professionals - and not simply be buried under a load of suppressing [artificial] chemicals.

They may well provide a needed relief, but they are not a cure for the problems / issues that create the depression.

Look for help.
Good luck.

Go 4 holiday on your own & chill out!
How long have you felt like that? Any recent changes? New meds? New job? If the things you like to do don't appeal to you anymore you might thing about talking to someone about it. maybe your doc if you trust him/her.
get help or something lol, or talk it over with someone
^^ good idea, the infinite scope of the mental health field can be fixed with a "vacation."

Your body is craving EXERCISE.
With no exercise, you feel down all the time.
Exercise pushes your metabolism up, of which makes your emotions go up.

Do daily stretching. Daily aerobics. Weightlifting once a week.

You will feel like a kid every day.
Maybe it's depression! Try getting some excercise and eating well - often that will solve the problem on its own. If not, speak to your doctor. Maybe he can give you therapy or antidepressants.
clinical depression can happen even if life is good. get a medical checkup and mention your feelings. if it's lasted more than 2 weeks, it isn't situational depression which goes away on it's own, and you may need treatment.
How r u with PMT? I had the same feeling with my ex. i cried almost every day. truth is even though i had all that i still wasnt happy i wanted more. i was isolated a lot. i did have great friends but didnt see them much. i was 18 and didnt get out enough and felt i wasnt doing or living like an 18 yr old should!now im 21 with another man and never been happier. try something new. take up something u didnt think possible. ive taken up indoor climbing totally love it. go out more (if u dont already) every day do 1 thing that will make u happy. and talk to your man about how you fel so he makes a concious effort to make you happy. LIVE LIVELY, LAUGH LOUDLY, LOVE LIFE!
Get out and exercise. Good friends, good family, great job, all of these things build for a stable and happy environment. But if you don't get out and get your heart pumping some blood, your body can feel bogged down. Even if you already exercise, go for a nice hiking trip into the mountains to camp out - hike in/hike out kind of thing. Fresh air, great views, being with friends you enjoy... this should lift your spirits. :)
Maybe you feel totaly down because you want something else. Try to do what you like to do.
depression can be a hard thing to cope with. ive been there. go to your family dr.
dr.'s can be very helpful, a lot of people cringe when they hear that they should go to the dr. but that is what they are there for.

*i just read your edit*
anti depressants didnt work for me long either. try taking up a new hobby and maybe trying exercise. if i exercise in the morning it helps me to lift my mood for the day. maybe try journaling your thoughts and feelings, i find that by getting my thoughts and feelings out on paper- i feel more refreshed and like i can fill my head with more positive thoughts.

just my opinion. hope this helps.
you may be lacking in vitamin and minerals or have hormone inbalance. Everything around you appears rosey so is there something about yourself that you feel let down about or are all these nicities just to please everyone else and their dreams but when analysed not really what YOU want!?
some days you just feel low and others are better. Good Luck and Take Care
find a good nhs health worker and talk and talk and talk,,

try to come of the drugs with thier help.. and look out on the world,, realise most of the time it sucks, but enjoy it anyhow anyway you can..

All the best hope your sunshine n rainbows shine bright :-)
maybe its because either way you're going to end up in the same place - 6 feet under
