How do you become resigned to the fact that you will never be happy? A lot of the time I am not sad, but I do have my spells where I get really depressed. I never feel worthwhile or that my life adds to anything. I have a young daughter who I am convinced will grow up to hate me. My wife does not touch me and I don't know if I have ever felt love. Is an antidepressent an option? What would you suggest?

You sound like you need the doctor. They can give you anti-depressants or councelling because you sound like you need to talk to someone. The unhappiness you feel may be caused by the problems you feel at home. Have you talked to your wife about how you feel? If you love your daughter then she wont end up hating you, just be her father. It could be the depression you are feeling that is making you think you can never be happy. Go get help for it and don't give up hope. Good luck.
