    Lucinda Basset’s midwest program for Anxiety and Depression is good. I pirated a copy.

    Alot of sites like wikihow and ehow have alot of articles about "How To Be Happy" that have really helped me.

    Things like worthlessness and shame are a frame of mind. Think about it. What are you ashamed of? Has anyone ever stopped you on the street just to point it out? Has anyone ever accosted you so you were harmed or arrested, or something? Of course not. Learn to laugh at yourself. The people you find cool and easygoing, have this down to a tee. They know how to brush aside their faults because they realize that nobody is perfect, not even themselves.

    Worthlessness is only in your eyes. If someone else see’s you as worthless, they are probably worthless themselves. If you don’t believe me, then think about this, I’m responding, and so will other people, so they obviously feel you have some worth to be responded to. Be grateful for what you have. The attitude of gratitude changes your focus to what you do have, and what is good, instead of focusing negatively on what you’re missing. Imagine if you were to achieve what you really wanted, would you be happy with a habitual mind always feeling worthless and empty?

    I hope things work out for you.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness <- make sure to click the sub links, write this down in a journal so it sticks. I made note cards and kept them in my pocket, so when i felt like poo i’d have a reminder.

    http://www.stresscenter.com/mwc/ <- money back guaruntee, if you feel too ashamed to go see a psychiatrist or feel it’s too much money.

    One more thing. Live in the now. Everything in the past is unchangeable and don’t affect the person you are right now reading this. Right now, you’re sitting there, reading this, and the only person judging you is yourself. Your mind is telling you that the past is what is making you feel worthless and ashamed. In the now, right here, you can change that, turn off your mind and focus on yourself. You’re hearing your thoughts say "I feel like I am worthless. I am ashamed of myself." There’s only one of you, not two. The I and myself. The future is affected by what you do in the now. Choose to make a change. Choose to make your future better. Don’t worry about the future, because it hasn’t happened yet, and when it does remember this. 10 percent of life is what’s happening to you and around you, and 90 percent is how you react. the 90 percent is your choice. Make like great, choose to be happy. No one is born with a gray cloud over their head.

    The time is now.

    You could look up therapy techniques online but nothing is as good as actually talking to a real therapist/psychologist to help you sort out this stuff.

    the solution is to think about others, rather than yourself. you’d be surprised but when you think about others, things seem to get better very quickly. the trick in life in order to be happy is to love others and serve them and try to make them better. a lot of depression comes from people just thinking way too much about themselves. whether or not you have observed this in yourself, it’s worth a try isn’t it, to think about others for a while and see if it helps. i assure you that it does. see what you can do for the world rather than what it can do for you.

    everyone who has ever been on this earth has felt those feelings of worthlessness and shame at some point in their lives. it is now a facet of the human condition in a world that values material goods and material beauty and where no one loves each other and no one makes an effort to make the person they pass by on the street happier. sometimes it seems like a cold world, and a lot of the time we see that human beings aren’t as great as they could be. the challenge is to rise above this and overcome ourselves and be courageous enough to walk in this world and do what we can to change it.

    everyone has felt or will feel as you are now. do not dwell on these feelings. they are for the most part exaggerated unconsciously and cunningly deceptive. think through your problems, work hard to overcome them. telling you what to do only helps so much, as people only truly understand when they have worked through the logic based on their personal feelings and experiences, things that others could never fully understand. you are not worthless. you are a beautiful human being that deserves as much respect and love and care as any other. the thoughts that you have are only yours. no one else thinks those things about you. and if they do well they’re as*sholes so who cares about them. you will be okay. just stick it through, think about your problems and try to overcome them, but more importantly, after a time of doing that, go out and be with people, think about them and what they need and what will make them happy. you will be okay

    I know for sure that you are not worthless and shouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Focus on your good qualities ( you’re funny, smart, kind, caring, thoughtful, etc.) and forget the negatives. There might be free therapy online, but i’m sure there’s numbers to call or a psychiatrist you could visit, who could look at why you’re feeling this way and help you feel good about yourself.

    I’ve gone through therapy and it worked ok but I’m not sure it would be as effective without the human contact. I got more out of books, especially Feeling Good by Dr David Burns.

    You need to build a network of people you can hang out with and talk through your problems. And do something with your hands. Something that you can physically manipulate for the better. This will give you a sense of control over your environment and alleviate some of your feelings of worthlessness. Also, get a library card and start reading up on depression. The power to change it is within you.

    you have to get to the bottom of those emotions. what makes you feel worthless and why do you feel shame? allow yourself to feel remorse for what happened in the past and be sorry for it. after that, be good to yourself and stop suffering. start anew and make sure that the thing in the past will be what it is… just a thing in the past. as long as we are alive, we are given a second chance. don’t waste your time and your life. move on… be happy. it is in your power to make yourself happy. i firmly believe in this.
