Am I going through depression? I am 33 and not married which is my major concern. I am dark and not pretty. I have stopped talking about my problems to anyone close. I have no confidence. I feel anger towards everyone and feel life is not fair to me. I am too worried what people think about me not married. My mom is a depression patient for now 15 years and I am scared I will too become depressed.

Marraige itself is not a criteria to have a happy life. Marraige is just a part of our life. You are getting angry because you have started comparing yourselves with others that's it. Everyone can't have a life as they wish for. But breaking and making up to our needs lies in our hands. Depression has its own set of symptoms like anhedonia, decresaed sleep, appetite, lowered concentration and attention etc and at its peak of severity suicidal ideas. The symptom and severity vary with person to person. Having hopelessness and sadness also part and parcel. But having depression is not so scary. It is just neurochemical imbalance. You have to get treated. Thats it. But more than that you seem to have self esteem issues. If you consider urself low then no oneelse can lift you. Selfconfidence to be boosted up. Just stop comparing and naming urself bad. We cannot live for the needs and thought process of others and that should not be a concern for you as it is your life. Live life to the fullest, be happy and enjoy everyday. If you still can not handle the situation meet a clinical psychologist or pychiatrist for help take care.
