Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
bunbuku-san, do you use 「落ち込む」 for "to be disappointed" as well as for "to be depressed", "to feel down"?
Probably those English words are slightly different, but I think 落ち込む could be used for all of them. がっかりする might be a better translation for "disappointed". However, 自分にがっかりする means 落ち込む, doesn't it? Since the English sentence is short, and there is no context for it. So I'll add an alternative with がっかりする.
> However, 自分にがっかりする means 落ち込む, doesn't it?
Indeed! Never thought about it in this vein :-) It seems that「がっかりする」 has several meanings, too, and context is really the thing we lack in the English original.
By the way, is is possible to use 「悲観する」, too?
I personally think 悲観する is a stronger word than others.
For example, if someone gives up his/her life and then tried to commit suicide, we can say 彼/彼女は人生に悲観し、自殺しようとした。
If depressed or disappointed is used with degree adverbs, probably we could use it.
I see!
説明してくれてありがとう。＾＾
