Why is this?

It's most likely not related to anything magical or on this site.

People get sad, or melancholy in their life: sometimes for no reason. You might want to visit your doctor, it could be health related. Depression, seasonal affective disorder, etc are serious issues.

I do not think it is non magic related. I think that it may be due to all the sorrow in this world. And I think I am feeling a strong amount of this.

Well, you said you have an "ok life" maybe that's not what you want. Maybe like many others you want something more from life, you want something special, maybe that is why you went out and found this site.

True. I have always been interested in ghosts (spirits they are actually called). But I am unable to talk, see, or hear them.

Have you looked into spirit work throughly? There are many ways to speak with them. As for hearing and seeing them, I would suggest third eye work and chakra balancing. Any practice that helps you become attuned to your surroundings will help as well :)

I am told you have to open your third eye, and then balance your chakras, but my third eye is still closed:(

It just takes practice and time. It may not be easy, but it is better than always feeling the craving to do so.

I want to thank you all for helping me, but I have one question. What is the correct way to open your third eye?

Write down a list of all the things you have done or are doing that bring you joy.

Healing occurs when you increase peace and joy in your life, but this is something that one has to be proactive about. If you wait around hoping to one day be happy, that day may never come. You must create more happiness, joy, and peace for yourself.

Start by identifying what it is in your life that makes you happy, where you forget about depression, and then get busy making sure that happens for yourself *every day*. Sometimes it's a matter of reprogramming yourself. Best of luck.

Well, my girlfriend (to be wife) is the one thing that makes me explode with joy. Every Saturday I go to play tennis with a group of people that are really awesome. I really like the friends I have here. And... those are really the three things that make me happy.
