Find a hobby or a passion, something that will distract you. Heck, take a week off, and fly home.

Thats only a feeling. Sometimes I feel the same, then I get out of my comfort zone, and realized it was my silly thinking that got me thinking that. Maybe use some money to go speak to a shrink. It helps to get it out, and he wont laugh at you.

last week I sublitted my leave application to my project lead who doesn't have any project at all. You know, what he said... "There are lot of developement work lined up... so you can't take a vacation.". I said to him that I waited for almost 12 months for some assignment. nothing showed up till this moment. so either you accept my resignation or sign up my leave application. he approved 21 days of vacation. going home after 1 1/2 years hoping something will change...

Ask a girl at work out for a meal.
Never asked a girl for a dinner in the last three years after I broke up with my college girl friend. I tried to contact her(X) few months ago then i got a mail from her boy friend saying "she is no more the person you are expecting her to be...". it's over completely.... ok I'll take courage and ask someone... thank you for your reply.

Take his word for it. People say they dont change, but it is because they cant see the difference, to them the world is changing around them. As the old saying goes, let bygones be bygones.

I think that is your main problem. No assignments for 12 months? WTF. I'd recommend that you should look for a job change. And preferably a location change too, if that would help. Going home would definitely help you rejuvenate fast from this depressed state. Avoid sitting idle. That would worsen your problem.Keep yourself busy by joining a gym, playing a guitar, etc., as per your taste. :)

Wow. Work will always suck. But don't be depressed. Man up. I'm sorry about your situation. If I were you, I'd ask out some girls at work. Go to match.com or another site like that and put up a profile. Do you have any hobbies? I'm into brewing my own beer and have made friends at the homebrew club meetings. I also go out shooting guns with my coworkers somtimes, how fun is that!!! Reality sucks, so loosing touch with it won't hurt at all. Also, are you allowed to have pets where you live? I have two small dogs that keep me company. My one dog is 1/2 Japanese Chin and 1/2 Minature Poodle. She's the best companion ever! Not too mention that walking a cute dog is a great way to meet chicks. Call your parents, everyday if you need to. Also, are you religous? I'm not, but joining a church is a great way to make friends. Good luck and stay positive. Being happy is infectious... So is being depressed. People want to be around happy people. Also, Exercise always helps the mood improve.

some flight of plans go through my mind everyday and I ask myself If I do this, will things change? If I do that, Will things change? I end up doing nothing... what you said seems to be a practical solution to the problem. probably a new place and a new job would do...I guess... Thank you...

I'm a movie freak. I hardly miss any english romantic commedy. But how many romantic movies I can watch sitting alone in my room? This should change.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself get out and do something; you got money so travel and do stuff. You're a lot better off than you think you are.
