I feel so guilty just for being me.

I feel so guilty just for being me. Like I've been depressed and not living or enjoying life, and I know so many people who would kill to live my life, I know many with terminal cancer, HIV, and other terminal diseases, and its like I really I would trade them if I could, but I feel like my life is being wasted, is that normal to feel guilty for having your life?

yea
I'm popular, and have been ttly depressed 4ever
and everyone says I have a perfect life but they don't know me, and what I've been through.
it's completley normal.
a lot of people go through periods of times like that in their lives...

No it's not normal. I don't mean your not normal, but your condition. You're just depressed. If your lucky, you might get better on your own. I would suggest talking to your doctor about it. They will either prescribe you medicine, or refere you to a theropist. You could get worse if you put it off to long. Well, I hope that helps.

Every life is wasted. Enjoy the excess. It's just going to be wasted anyway.

Look, the one thing you have to realize is that it isnt your fault... You're not choosing to be unappreciative and unhappy... Depression is not something you can control or snap out of... so yeah it sometimes doesnt quite make sense (there are people starving and dying) but you didnt choose to be sick... and you have to remember that... depression is an illness, and like no one chooses a cold, no one chooses to be depressed...

What made you feel like that??

 
Yes, it is normal to feel that way if you have low self-esteem (a low sense of self-worth).

To overcome the feeling you must improve your self-esteem. You must improve how you see your value to life and your community.

Start by getting involved in things outside of your normal experiences. Become a volunteer in some civic organization(s).

As you start doing for others and caring about those around you, you will start improving how you think of yourself and your place in the world.

You really do have great potential. You just have to start expressing it.

Live life the way you see fit, you remind me of myself a few years back. I had it all, but the rest of my family were suffering. not enough money, and my uncle had just got lung cancer and my grandmothers daughter had just died.

I was angry for being so lucky and that I could not help anyone else. It drove me nuts.

one thing it tell you not to do. never resort to taking any medication for the feeling you have. it will only make you renown to the feeling and you will go deeper and deeper down

learn to cope. by helping all you can with other peoples lives. be kind. no act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted and remember that. be kind to everyone you see and be kind through your actions and you your self will feel better as a person and a citizen in your community

And imagine what those people you have been kind to must think of you? you made them happy. so it must be good right?

Think of that everytime a surge of a depressed feeling goes through your mind. Its how I learned to cope.
