So what the hell is my problem?
Lately, I can't seem to get myself out of this slump. For the past few months, I've been real depressed and I cannot pinpoint why. Maybe the lack of real affection from another human being? Or maybe just the winter blues

Maybe it's also a combination of all the above... winter is a hard time of year for everyone, and no - not just because of SAD... it really truly is. Sometimes you get depressed, and as you said - you can't pinpoint why... but maybe it's a combination of many little minor things that you don't think would affect you in that way, and as they all add up it causes those feelings.. stress is also a major factor. The lack of affection from another human being does play a major role in that, but you need to look to your friends to help fill that void - as, in the end, they are truly the only ones that can help you with that other than you.
There's so much I could say to this, but tornspacetime summed it up quite nicely...
The main detrimental affect of being depressed is that you really do only see the bad in whatever it is that you're looking at. And in this case, that being you. Sometimes you can't avoid it, but try and think of the good - you're an amazing and strong person, Rist... don't ever forget that. And, as aforementioned, you may not have that immediate unconditional love from a lover... but you do have it from your family and your friends. Winter is almost over (well.. here anyway), and soon things will brighten up again, and I hope that you turn around just as soon as the weather changes. I don't like seeing my friends like this - but you always know that you can talk to me as well.. I know that we don't really talk much anymore as I've been so busy that I'm never online... but if you see me on, don't be afraid to say hi. I'm always on MSN.
Don't look back and miss what you had, look forward to what you can and will have. Looking back and missing something to the point that it really gets to you is the same as living a life full of regrets... in doing so, you're not going to go anywhere in life because if you keep looking to the past, how can you move on to the future?
You are reborn, and your life is what you make of it. You will figure out what's been getting to you, and you will work it out. It's a bad cliche, but things always have a way of working themselves out...
Don't ever let yourself lose that sparkle in your eye...
