Mine has changed with me over the years. Its used to be helplessness. Actually, it probably still is. I've had suicidal thoughts (helplessness) but those stopped after realizing I didn't really want to die (I mean in practic, I'm sure over the years I've had the odd thought). Next was feeling like I was going to go crazy because I felt so absolutely worthless/alone/unloved/etc, but now that I think about it that sounds like helplessness. Feeling like things are terrible and out of my control.
Now I'm honestly not sure if I'm depressed or not. I've always had a strong propensity to feel *sad* but thats just emotion, right? I feel other emotions strongly too and maybe a little sad is simply my natural disposition?
My wife thinks I'm depressed but I'm starting to think that its more tied to my generalized anxiety, my lethragy.
So I guess I'd say a persistent feeling of helplessness.
