Feel like such a waste of space

Maybe it's cos I'm isolated, but I feel like such a waste of space. It's not as though I've nothing going for me in other peoples eys, but it's how I feel. A kind of melancholy, I'm missing out, life must be beautiful somewhere else, I'm unfulfilled, sad feeling. Anyone else feel the same?

So who can offer words of support. It really is the most empty, pathetic feeling

Could be endogenous depression - depression without cause. See a doctor or at least talk things over with a counsellor. You've taken the first step in seeking help - now go for more.You can do it.
Yes i feel like this. All i seem to do is come on computer and watch tv. I do go out but get drunk and its boring same old same old you know.

You feel unfulfilled...do something...I dont mean this a blunt as it may appear, but what are you actually doing with your life at the moment? Have you got a job, if not go and get one? Have you got some free time, go round to your nearest old peoples home or similar and volunteer, or nearest RSPCA shelter. Basically youre feeling unfulfilled, if its cos you dont do anything do somethng. If however youre busy busy busy, and its just you cant build up the enthusiasm despite doing plenty then it does suggest possible depression. Even if it is depression though, getting out and doing something will make you feel better.
(sorry that this goes round in circles...Im blaming it on the heat!)

I think that the more activities you do the better able you'll be in deciding whats good for you, as you would have experienced alot of things.

Can the right activity alleviate these feelings though?
