I feel so sad all the time

Like the title says I feel sad all the time but I shouldn’t. I lost my job a year ago but I’ve stayed positive and apply for others everyday. Ive had to move back in with my parents (a little embarrassing at 30 but I don’t mind really, we get on well). The thing is I have the life that many people would be grateful for but for the last 2 weeks I’ve been miserable, I cry multiple times everyday, I go to bed and constantly wish that I won’t wake up the next morning just so I don’t have to get through another day. I constantly think about the past and all the mistakes I’ve made. This stated 2 days before my last period so I thought maybe it was a hormonal imbalance but my blood tests were fine. I feel like I’m so much behind everyone else my age who are all earning a decent wage, married and have kids - I have none of these. I would appreciate any advice anyone has.

You need to book an appointment with your GP . Crying several times per day and wishing you wouldn;t wake up are massive flags for depression.
Don't wait for it to pass, talk about it. There is a lot for depression in terms of medication and counselling.

This sounds like depression. Speak to your gp. It sounds like you have had a tough time lately. X

Try taking vitamin D - I speak from experience. I have reasons to be sad and down that no one and nothing can fix, but I noticed that when I get to the mood you describe, taking literally 1 tiny tablet helps to lift the mood.
I don't even take them regularly as I think I have a reasonably good diet but I didn't want to go on antidepressants.
