Big Black Stilo, everybody reaches low points in their life at various points, that's quite normal. Everyone gets the 'blues' every now and then when nothing seems to go right, and there seem to be no positives around you, just negatives.
The time of year does make a difference. As Paul mentioned, it could be S.A.D, which is a recognised medical condition. For those that don't know, it stands for Seasonal Affected Disorder. It's caused by a lack of sunlight produced brain chemical in the body (I forget which one), which when deficient causes low moods, sluggishness, the need to sleep all the time etc. Just using a sun lamp designed to emit sunlight frequencies for an hour or so every day is enough to lift most people out of it.
However, if you've never felt like this before then it could be something different. Everyone gets 'down' or the 'blues' occasionally, but if this starts to last more than a week or so then it could be clinical depression.
Normal signs of depression are tiredness, inability to feel pleasure, numbness, emptiness in life, sadness/ wanting to cry for no reason etc. It is sometimes signified by constant minor illnesses and a general feeling of being unwell and run down.
If you've been feeling like this for more than two weeks, then GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR. Don't be ashamed by the way that you feel, because it is far, far more common than people think. If left untreated, clinical depression can be hell and can lead to suicidal thoughts and self harm, though these are worst case scenarios.
If your doctor feels you need them, you may be prescribed sunlight therapy, drugs or counselling. Drugs should be a last resort, UV light therapy would be a good thing to start with, and if there are any underlying issues then counselling will help you sort them out. Just 'talking' is one of the best therapies known, so maybe you could find a close friend who will listen to you have a good yacking about anything in your life.
Also, ignore those who tell you to 'pull yourself together', 'snap out of it' and 'stop being negative and think positive'. You CAN'T pull yourself out of clinical depression that easily, that's the whole problem. It becomes a vicious circle that can be hard to break. When the things in life that normally give you pleasure no longer do so and you just can't seem to lift yourself out of a low mood, it's time to seek help and not try and 'snap out of it'.
I'm no expert, but I am studying nursing and originally wanted to specialise in Mental Health nursing so have read up quite a bit on depression. Plus, a few years ago I went through clinicial depression myself and if it wasn't for the help of my doctor and a counsellor I doubt if I'd still be around today. In that respect I can feel a lot of empathy with what you are feeling right now.
So to sum up Big Black Stilo, if this has been lasting more than two weeks, go and see your doctor. If it's less, give it a few more days and see if it goes away on its own accord. Also bear in mind, it takes more courage to admit you need help than to ignore it, so dismiss anyone who tells you that it's a female condition and to be a man and all that rot.
I really wish you the best, and hope you will be feeling happier very soon. And always feel free to ask anything on here! I'm sure everyone would be happy to encourage you to get through this.

If it makes you feel better, I felt like that for a loooong period last year, all for no reason, then just before Christmas til not i went back to being happy, so I think you'll probably just snap out of it one day and go back to being how you were. I know just how you feel though, it's not good, but just keep your chin up!

i get like this sometimes, just feel like its all gettin to me yet cant put my finger on an actual reason...
it changes day to day with, cos im a complicated bugger tbh lol i always find that going for a drive, with the stereo rediculously loud, windows down, singing voice in full swing and a bit of a gig around brightens up my day... even the miserable blighters on the pavement end up having a giggle with me because its quite funny to watch apparently.. oh and i cant sing for toffee...
try something new that will challenge / test / exhillerate you or take your mind away from the day to day... i got a pair of blades the other day for just that reason (along with the fact i broke my bike in a big way between xmas and new year, and put myself in hospital with a dislocated shoulder!!! oops )

Definitely agree with the time of year (living in Manc doesn't help either, I want to go home!) but for me it is deeper than this. It's the fact I am "investing" 4 years of my life in a masters degree in a subject I already despise 1.5 years in. Done too well and been here too long to leave
Oh well, sure my distillation & absorption exam will cheer me up tomorrow.
