I've had this just *unhappy* feeling in my chest and stomach for as long as I can remember. Infact there are only two times in my life that I didn't have that feeling. Once when I got intoxicated (which was when I realised that I didn't feel normal--also only time I ever drank alcohol), and another when my brother promised me I was a joy to be around when I was having a hard time--though that feeling faded almost instantly out of fear it wouldn't stay. 

I honestly think I need to be put on some sort of medication. I'm assuming the alcohol made me feel great because its an anti depressant. But that really isn't an option for me any time soon so I want to hear about others experiences, what the cause was for you, and how you delt w it. Or any advice is welcome.
