Feeling depressed for no reason?
First of all, I used to be depressed. It was a long period in my life where I couldn't function normally, I was always so sad, thinking negative thoughts about myself and the world. It affected every aspect of my life... I was just a wreck. It was a gradual process, but eventually I got over this phase and the last couple months of my life have been pure joy. Today, and yesterday, I have started to feel sad again for no apparent reason. This feeling is strangely familiar and I can't understand why I suddenly feel this way. I just want to return to my positive state of mind, I feel so empty and am on the verge of tears right now. I don't want to be depressed again, I can't afford to be, and no matter what I do I can't talk myself out of this. So do you have any advice for me? Something to cheer me up?
I feel like im always on the verge of tears?
What happens when I am so lost and confused about who I am and where i belong that I feel like I am always on the verge of tears..... It conflicts with opportunities because i can not be social with many people and when I am i feel that im not being my full self. im just going thru a stage of sadness right now that makes me feel like I have no one, when i actually know i have a lot of people that care about me, why do i feel so hopeless and miserable all the time? Why do I feel like I don't know who I am in anyway. I feel so unconfident and I feel as if its taking away from so much of what my life could be and what if I knew that if i were to just relax, go with the flow, and just be my flipping self that everything would be okay? I know that's the truth and i am having such a hard time getting there. I feel closed off to people This isn't me and i know it and i can feel it. I have nothing to complain about in my life, i am very fortunate Im 19 and I think this might just be a self identity crisis but its been going on for 4 years. Its so hard. Please help me Tay ps yes i reposted this I need you guys please!! im trying to stay positive!
I can't cry, even though I'm depressed, do you know why?
I'm sorry for what's happened. I don't know if I can help, but I'll talk.I have similar happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not entirely sure why, but when I hit the stage you are describing something similar happens. The emotional pain doesn’t go away exactly, it just sort of shuts down.And I think that’s probably what it might be for you. The emotions you are feeling are stronger than you can handle. Most people hit the crying stage and they just let it go. And it all comes bursting out. People like yourself and possibly me as well can’t seem to let go so that internal pressure just keeps building and building.I can’t tell you how to fix it, but I will say that letting go does help. The times that I’ve managed to let go the internal pressure lessened considerably.
Why do I constantly feel frustrated and like I'm on the verge of tears?
Ok!Day before yesterday I played a lot and a lot. At the time I reached home, for some reason I shouted on my sister. For a moment my frustration and anger blurted out like that.I went into my room to sort out why I felt like that. Sooner I realised all that crap is just because of tiredness. When you are tired you crave for something you don't know what's that bothering you! You're wonderful mind goes out of your control, just like a car with airless tires.The only thing I could sort out is just sleep. Try remembering beautiful moments if things go worst.Maybe at a situation just take off all the feelings off your chest. Cry when you think your mind is clumsy. Believe me it relieves you a lot.But your situation seems different. You could try sleeping and if it runs out of your hands please consult a doctor.
College is leading to depression. I wake up every morning on the verge of tears. The value of life is quickly getting sucked out of me and I don't know what to do. I don't want to live if this is what life is like. What do I do?
I understand completely, been there done that. But now that I am out of college, I realised perhaps it was not my college but my prespective. It was me who made my life monotonous leading me to not enjoy anything. I only wish I could go back and maybe indulge into a few activities inside or outside the college. I wish I had focused on what I was doing and not what going on in my surroundings. I wish I had focused on my friendships and enjoyed where I was rather than thinking where I could be.You are in college, start thinking about what you wanna do after college or maybe next, start focusing on what do you want to built your career in and start taking initiative from now on. It is you who decide where you end up. Start accepting. Acceptance is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. Accept the situation and think what can be done to make the most out of it.If you want to do masters, if you want to go abroad or if you want to do a job start looking for internships in it.If you are really feeling that you are getting into depression, talk to someone, spend time people you are close with, indulge yourself into sports. I am sure, you will get out of this.This is one life you got, make the most out of every situation, this moment will never return. We are trapped into materialism, if we get out of our comfort zone we realise that we have not seen the W of this mighty and huge world.Remember time never stops for nobody!Thank you,I hope this was helpful!
Do people with depression often cry?
It's not sadness. It's dread, and paralysis.I never cried when I struggled with depression. For me, depression differed wildly from sadness. When I'm sad, I cry readily. Depression was altogether different—it was more akin to abject hopelessness—a feeling things would never, ever get less dreadful. I woke up every day not sad, but with a leaden feeling of dread that was immediate and soul-crushing. I wanted to die, but I did not want to kill myself. I wanted oblivion.Mostly, my depression was caused by a series of financial disasters. It is so profoundly sad to think that something like money can trigger a sincere desire to leave all that we love about life—which is a lot, in my case—behind. But it obliterates it, obscures it. You can't see the good anymore.It isn't sadness—in fact, I felt incredibly removed from emotion, and was constantly numb when I wasn't feeling dread. I actually couldn't cry, and am certain it would have been a sign of returning health when I could (in fact, a good cry did mark my gradual return to the surface).
Does anime/manga ever make you mad or depressed?
Yes, anime/manga makes me mad, mostly at the episodes that I can't stand how the episodes are done, etc. Or maybe a character I like is just being too out-of-character for me... 1. I'd consider Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji to be a little bit depressed about the death of his parents. He doesn't show it a lot, but in the anime when they come up he's definitely upset about it. EDIT: GAHHHH!!! HOW COULD I FORGET ZETSUBOU SENSEI?! *wah* 2. Occasionally, but isn't everybody sad or feel things are going wrong at one point or another? I'm not labeled medically as "depressed" though. Whenever I'm sad, I try to let it all out. Holding in tears or sadness just makes me feel worse, and crying does help sometimes :) Oh yeah! And whenever I'm upset, I watch and episode of Azumanga Daioh. It's ridiculously goofy, and really does help! It's vague too, so you can open up pretty much any episode because there isn't really a plot line. Dr. Bleach Girl ♥'s prescription: Go for a walk and then listen to the song "If You Were Gay" from Avenue Q. Do it now!
I am constantly on the verge of tears. whats wrong with me?
I know that feeling better after crying is defiantly a good thing. I don't know about the crying all the time. I can't say you are depressed because everyone deals with it differently. I do know that you should probably relieve it. It's probably stress (you might not know what) or something. It could be like bulimics. Their bodies get so used to it that they can't control it anymore. Try relieving the stress (or whatever it is). Maybe go for a run or listen to music (obviously not sad music.) Roll your shoulders and shake your arms. Read a book. BREATH. (So important) Have someone to talk so when you cry they'll be there for you. (Even if you don't know what it's about. Writing helps. You can message me if you want. I certainly won't mind. I want to help people when i grow up.) Just try finding things that make you happy and give you something to do. Avoid thinking of sad things or anything that could have potential to trigger this. I'm no doctor, and never will be, so I can't say too much. But sometimes the best people to ask aren't doctors. They understand better because they weren't trained.
