I've held depression at bay the past couple of years telling myself that so long as there's hope I may as well keep trying.
At this point I'm no longer convinced there is hope, though. Life just seems like one problem after another, and I'm a bit sick of it. It feels like any progress I'm making with my problems is painfully slow, and I no longer see light at the end of the tunnel.
Every so often things feel okay but that good feeling never lasts more than a few days.

I'm just over it... I really don't think there's any hope anymore.

You have to make your own hope by defining things for yourself
>Life just seems like one problem after another
It is, unless you're insanely rich, but even then there are different problems
Life getting better =/= no more problems btw it means savoring what wins you can get

You're also not supposed to be 100% happy everyday, no one is and people who say they are, are being hyperbolic
What they mean to say is that they're "satisfied"
They've accepted their lot, and understand their own positive/negative emotional threshold matrix and operate under it
Working M-F sucks, but people look forward to the weekends
Suffer 5 days, and find what little happiness they can, hoping it can create mini happiness throughout the week
Things add up, you just need to feel gratitude for what you have, I guarantee it could be much worse
