Debilitating depression......
Not hardly.
I've followed this thread since I've joined this site.
He complained years ago, cause of other men having control over women he wants to control.
Then went on to complaining that he should jave just had sex with who ever, while complaining women have sex with whoever.
Now he's 42, and complaining of never being married and having kids....
What he been doing all these years?
I know, nothing.

Two bits of the Bible come to mind as I've reviewed this thread you've periodically revived over the past nearly 3 years now to say more of the same thing. The first is Jesus walking up to the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, the one who'd been there for decades and asking him "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6) Well do you want to get well, do you want things to improve in your life, or do you want to just spend your time telling yourself and everyone else why it's too hard and nothing is ever going to change and you're doomed to be miserable? Second is Samuel who was dealing with the great disappointment that God had rejected Saul as king. (And I'm not super familiar with the story, but remember the verse because one of my univeristy friends had it on her wall to tell her to move on from a crush that things didn't work out with) Finally God says to him " How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel" ( 1 Sam 16:1) and I think a similar question should be asked of you "How long are you going to live facing the past and you wish had been instead of looking toward the future and what you can make of it?"
And yes it takes time and effort and setbacks and disappointment; if you're suffering from serious depression it may take treatment and meds. But the biggest thing that's going to help is to learn to practice gratitude and to look for the good. And if you've got a roof over your head and food to eat today you have something to be grateful for. But nothing is going to change until you decide to do what you can to change yourself and your circumstances.
