Well, your proportions are off, for one thing. Basic anatomy for average human height is 7 heads tall, with all major landmarks being at one of those 7 points. I am short on time, so I can't go into detail, but I shall be back on late tonight or tomorrow morning, at which time I will got more in depth.
Secondly, your pose is a bit uninspired, something that is again fixed with more anatomy knowledge.
I recommend life drawing for long term practice, and again, I will be on later to go more in depth about your specific needs.

Like any skill, it only takes practice, some more than others, but it all boils down to effort. If you work hard and maintain focus, without falling into defeatist traps, you will excel.
Do not fret, do not give up, merely do, and the skill will come.

Except the advice I just gave you.
Become determined, maintain focus, and do it. It only takes action, it will not come naturally, you will have to work.

It's the 4th drawing you ever made
I had worse proportions than that when I started. It isn't that terrible, and there's artists worse than you who happily chuck on. You actually attempted realism. Good. You have a chance to excel beyond them.
BETTER GIVE UP
No. Just put your nose to it and keep working.
What are you afraid of, succeeding? You are as terrible as me, and look how far I've made it.

Dude seriously, practise. What you've got isnt that bad. Heck, I've seen ALOT worse on FA, DA and Artspots. Just keep trying. Get some drawing books such as "Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain", Loomis books (http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/).
My art skills a year ago were atrocious compared to where I am now, and a year from now I'll be even better. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1886135/ - drew this a year ago, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2332075/ - one of my most recent SFW drawings)
You'll find, with practise, that you'll improve as well.

I can has cake and eat it.
I'm a rubbish drawer,
but I sketched a small thumbnail
and I've been working on that pic for two weeks,
Start small, build up, then run a few consepts.
No art is perfect, but if you feel that it is what it is
ment to be, it'll be okay. I'm on my twelth consept pic.
I wouldn't worry to much about proportion,
as a person I am out of proportion. It's just working
on your ideas that is required. Find something that inspires
you. I listen to music for insperation.

You don't need help from an artist, you need help from a therapist.

That's a good way to make someone feel better.

Well.. in this case I really want him to feel better, but with a pill, the BITTER TRUTH pill.

Unreal!
So step away from it for a little while, collect your thoughts, and return with a fresh mind to the art. I do that fairly frequently with my writing. It's not a race to put out a finished picture or story. There's no clock that's going to sound the "Buzzer of Fail" on you if you don't complete it in time. Hell, I've been working for three days on one small piece of writing and it's still not complete. But I don't care. As they say at id software, "It's done when it's done."

Have you ever considered that if you become good at something - like drawing - you might not be so depressed?
Just a thought.

Drawing takes time... if you've practically only just started drawing and that's how well you can draw a person, you're way ahead of me. It's taken me 7 years of constant drawing to get where I am with my art... I started out like this: http://fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Azerane/NalaCubAdolesent.jpg and now it's like this: http://fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Azerane/KovuNukaWhenIamKingAdjust.jpg
Yes, it will take time, for some people it comes more naturally than others. But no matter, you will get there. It's like, there are people who are gifted musically, can sit down at a piano at age 7 and play something magical. Then there's those people who are tone deaf or whatever and take lessons for years and years and become just as good. You will get there, I didn't think I ever would, but I did, and I'm still learning every day, I know I am. I find it to be part of the fun. There will always be times though when you get angry or annoyed at your art, I know I do, some days things draw themselves, other days I want to burn my sketchbook
But I don't, I put it aside, and come back later that day or a couple days later with a fresh outlook. Never stop practicing, and remember, not everything you draw is going to be a refined work of art. I have around 20 sketchbooks, full of some good, but mostly bad sketches that will probably never see the light of day, but hey, that's part of the process.
