Am I Depressed?
I'm 18, I'm in college, i have a few friends & im single. I know usually people who suffer from depression have loss of appetit, always crying, barely has friends, etc. But for me, that's not the case. I eat, & im not always crying and yes i do have a couple friends. But when I get alone, even if it's just for a minute i become sad. I have no idea why im sad. i get sad at night also when I'm alone. I push my friends away when because i want to be alone but at the same time i feel lonely. at night when i think about how im lonely, i start to cry sometimes. I don't necessarily have a reason to be sad, but chest feels heavy and i feel like i have no one. im close with my family so i am definitely loved. but for some reason they're not enough. i get sad when im alone. & ny chest feels heavy throughout the day sometimes. I don't know where this sadness is coming from, nor do i know if im depressed. what do you think it is?
I am very depressed. What should I do?
First things first. Dont do anything stupid.Why? Because it wont help you in anyway. The situation you are facing now is what almost every plus 2 student goes through. But they are still going on. Aren't they? As for your 'love' life, its not love! I dont know what that feeling is called but i can assure you that its anything else but love. And i'm saying this out of experience. Even if you do find 'love', then what? You are just going to waste your time chatting or texting him. Of course you are gonna feel good. But thats just temporary. By the time you realise it, your two years up and you will have achieved nothing. And there is high chance that your 'love' life too has run its course. So now, you are not all prepared for your boards and entrance exams. Plus you have a broken heart to tend to. Whats gonna kill you more is that deep down you always knew what you could have done to avoid it but you didnt. Ultimately you ll start having crazy(stupid) ideas. So what must you do? Start DREAMING. Dream about where you want to see yourself 8-10 years from now. Start planning about how you are going to achieve that. Study for your exams. Instead of wasting time on facebook, read articles and blogs as per your interests(not articles about love). If you dont have people to talk to when you are down, go to the most secluded corner of your house and talk to your self. Trust me, it helps. Most importantly , keep your mind busy. I came across the following line when i was down - " you do whats right,let the pieces fall where they fall ". Good luck
I'm 13 and I'm depressed. What should I do?
As someone who's been struggling with depression for years, my best advice is simple, but the only thing that I've found that really works: Find something that makes you happy, something that you truly care about and take a lot of joy in doing. I'm 15 years old, and I've struggled with chronic depression since I was 11. It's something that runs in my family and that circumstances have made worse, and I know exactly how you feel.Coming from someone who still has to deal with it, believe me when I say that knowing others are there for you doesn't always help, and that's something that I've learned through experience. The only person who can make you happy is you, yourself. So find what makes you happy... everybody, and I mean everybody, has something out there for them. Spend time with your friends, watch funny videos, play video games, take some time for yourself... do anything to keep your mind busy, and try to make yourself laugh. I know that depression is one of the most painful things to deal with, especially when you feel alone in dealing with it... but just know that you have the power to make it better.I truly hope that you'll take what I say into consideration, because I know as well as you do that it seems like a hopeless situation, even though that's simply not true.Take care, pal.
My teacher thinks i am depressed?
the counselors are WAYYYY crazy. all of 'em. My counselor once thought that I *MADE* my cat scratch me because I enjoyed pain. I was like, "er, no? i picked him up and he didn't want to go to the vet....." It's pretty mental, but just keep sticking to your story, and eventually they'll find a REAL nutcase to harp on. Haha.
I am really depressed because of my accent.. what can i do?
I am 16 and at my school almost everyone is a native English speaker. I speak English pretty well, but I have a really bad Russian accent. Everytime someone mentions it I become sad and even cry... it is kust horrible, I am too old to lose it so it's even more depressing. And today this guy in my Spanish class said that it is impossible to mistake me for a Spanish/German/ etc because i "have a heavy russian accent"... He ruined my day((( What can I do to not get depressed so much???
