Trust me. I've had some rather spectacular depressions take me down. Months, even years, where I've wandered in a gray haze. I have a lot of compassion for the OP, but he's not really taking any action that I've seen, unless I've missed some posts. Not making any changes. Not going to therapy. Not taking meds.
So either he's made the decision to let the waters close over his head or he still wants to alter the current course he's on. Which is it? When will he decide?
"Bounce back and have a positive attitude" is useless advice in and of itself, but the OP knows what changes he could make, and he's not really bothering yet.
The thing about depression is that the first step is the hardest. It gets easier after that. He's got to make the first step. And I'm not going to soft-peddle it.
To be honest, i have not seen many of his posts. But yes, i think he should go find a therapist that he connects with. I had to try 3... the first two didn't really do it for me, but the 3rd time was the charm. I definitely feel a sense of relief after a session with her, and if my finances permitted, i would go see her every week. You are correct that he could also consider finding a med that works... i dabbled in a few, didn't really do much for me, but some people they work wonders on. And exercise is a very powerful stress relief tool that i would strongly recommend for anyone's happiness.
I still have a lot of bad days myself, and i am nowhere near where i want to be. But he does need to get some help if he is feeling so bad.
Attractive people don't always have attractive children and unattractive people don't always have unattractive children.
Very true. In fact, I've found that really attractive people usually come from average looking parents. And its totally possible for a less than attractive person to have a really cute child.

Great. You owe me a new keyboard after I just sprayed my drink all over it. Through my nose.
