I'm so depressed, what can I do?
I want to die. Nothing about my life is worth any value to keep living. I am 16 and a senior in high school. I have literally like 2 friends. One of which is my brothers girlfriend now so we don't talk that much, I have like acquaintances but just the 2 that I feel comfortable really talking to. I don't even feel really comfortable talking to them. I feel like I am always just trapped in my house. I am home schooled, I don't have a job, and I share a car with my mom. I feel like maybe if I did stuff I would probably be less depressed but when I try to think of people to hang out with I realize I don't have any. I hang out with my one other friend (who is not dating my brother) and that's about it. I don't do anything. I try to go to church but even that depresses me now. I feel so out of place there, I have been to therapy and I am on medication but it just seems as if that isn't working anymore. I just feel so sad. I want to cry all the time. And for once in my life there is a boy who is not a stalker or a freak who is interested in talking to me and asked me out kind of. My dad said I couldn't go but we could hang out in groups of friends. I don't have a group of friends. I'm a friendly person, I try my hardest to be nice to people. But they always end up treating me like **** or bullying me. I have gained so much weight, I have no energy to even do physical activity. I feel like I can't be myself at home. I just feel so trapped. And like a complete waste of space. I just don't understand why God made me. I am worthless. I try so hard to do something with myself and my life and it just falls to pieces every time. I don't know what to do. We live out in the middle of nowhere basically anyway so even when I do have the car there isn't anyplace to go, and the places where something fun might actually be able to happen, my dad doesn't like me driving to because the traffic is bad. This is understandable. I am just so miserable though. I sound like such a pathetic person like I am just whining but I am so depressed, I don't know what to do. I just wish I had something that made me feel like I was doing something besides sitting on my miserable *** all the time. I don't know what to do. I just keep crying. I want out of this house, I want to meet people who treat me like I am something other than scum, and I want to be able to be myself with out restrictions. I just want to escape from my life. And I can't because its impossible.
Why do i feel so depressed after drinking?
This is your mind going "DRINKING IS NOT FOR YOU", but you are ignoring it. And so is everyone you know and likely everyone you will ever meet as well, and I certainly didn't. Listen to your mind. We think we are all that and we are always showing off to each other on the eternal competition that will never end how much fun and how brilliant we can be, but almost nobody ever listens to their minds. Your mind is not a party pooper by the way, your mind is your friend, but you are ignoring it. It says "drinking is not good for us". And it is saying that for a very good reason - you have other things in your subconscious that you want to do that you are more interested in than drinking. You ignore what your subconscious wants, you ignore your mind, an ignored mind = a tired/emotionally wrecked mind. The peer pressure of drinking, the fear is you quit drinking/you lose your friends, and that may very well happen, but the ones you lose, you'll be happy to lose. Your mind doesn't want to do this anymore - it wants to get started on other things IT REALLY WANTS because those things are what YOU REALLY WANT. The more you ignore, the harder it is to remember, the harder it is to see clearly. But you are never out of time, the longer you ignore the harder it is but it is never ever impossible. Get whatever help you need if you think you need help but you can do all this by yourself, you didn't always drink, you just got older in a society where drinking = acceptance, but it is not what you want. I like drinking too, but I like not drinking more. I'm actually getting started on things I want to do in my life and getting there. I am no one special, I just realized one day that I was doing all the things my mind was saying "you don't want to do that Dave". So I stopped, and as Scott says - it does get easier. This is just the psychology of why. Your brain is a part of you, in charge of every mental function you have, and it wants to be listened to.
Why do i feel so bad everyday? depressed.?
everyday i feel really bad, over nothing. i just feel bad and cry. i am like so depressed. i don't want to be like my dad and get on meds. and don't say its hormones or my age or whatever. cause its not. could it have something to do with my dad being bipolar and have depression? like i don't know, somethings wrong with me. im sad ALOT. well not really sad, more like depressed. like i'll be sitting there and about cry and look at my boyfriend and say "i'm never going to treat my kids badly" or "im never going to treat my kids like i was treated". ive been abused ever since i can remember. i called the cops on my dad one day, they blamed it on me and let my dad drive away high. hes always high and/or drunk. and you can tell. the other day he came to my school orientations high! and it was a brand new school!! him and my mom got divorced in april, ive wanted it since second grade. so its not that. i have an awesome boyfriend, hes the only way i can forget about my troubles. seriously, i know im young, but i want to marry him. ive never seen anyone treat anyone better than he treats me. he was abused when he was 3-like 6. his dad put him in the hospital when he was three. i hide everything inside. ive always wanted to call the cops on him, i just didn't want to let anyone down or have anyone hate me. in sixth grade he gave me a black eye. i don't know what to do. somethings wrong with me.
I'm feeling so depressed and I don't feel any interest in life. What should I do now?
We come alone in this world and go alone from this world. In this world nothing is permanent "Ma'am", its just a temporary part of existence. We can see around us, so many things get changed,not only thing but people,family,environment,culture,relationship,age,way of analysis even do get changed, right?. Live a life for yourself,enjoy every bit of it as if you don't know what is going to be in your future. No one can predict future, either it can be terrifically good or terrifically bad. Just have a smile on your face,you told your senior honestly about your past,only few people have guts to tell that and hear it. I think he was not made for you. Thank yourself that you're out of the storm, As First was your past and second was the senior proposal. Both of them are beast,at end if you could chose anyone of them,they good have sucked up your blood and leave you of no where. Fake love gives you temporary happiness,but the love which you carry for yourself is the only "permanent". Its completely your Life no one has the permission to tell you anything, unless you don't commit a crime. Before being a daughter,sister,girlfriend,wife,mother of someone,first is who you are?PS- I know its very easy to say and write it down.But, its breathtaking task for those who is actually going through it,only he/she may know very well about it. Like all of them,I can only tell and write about it. Its your life, you have to lead it. Enjoy your Life,Someone down the line is surely waiting for you or will come in your life as a surprise package.
I've been feeling so depressed for awhile. I don't wanna talk to anyone, I'm just always sad about everything. I feel like I don't belong anywhere what do I do?
It's ok to be depressed.To feel like life has lost its meaning, and that you don't belong anywhere.To feel like you care about nothing.Because, like Jim Carrey once said, "depression is deep rest from the character you've been trying to play."You're tired of your persona, and how fake everyone seems to be, because all you want, is to be who you want to be.Depression is a need to be understood. To see your goals and dreams be fulfilled.There's nothing wrong unnatural about feeling neglected. It's because you care so much that you've had enough of our immature lives, that makes you the most human.Because you can cry when you want to cry. You can feel, and it's not forced.But I'm not going to say that in the end it will all be alright. That you will come out stronger than the person you left behind. Because there's always the chance of you not coming out in the end, and leaving the rest of the world shocked and dismayed.But what I will say is that depression is not a feeling but a state. So it's not all doom and gloom, because there's a chance you can jump above to another state.For that, you'll need to do the unthinkable and stop blaming yourself.Stop blaming yourself that you were born in the wrong place, in the wrong time. That society doesn't need you because you feel excluded by it.There's no such thing as luck, so you're here because you're meant to be here.And you might say, "I can't, nobody (including myself) wants me here." But that's not quite right, you can but you just won't, because you are afraid.You're afraid to feel neglected and even shunned by society. You're afraid of that deep loneliness and that close call to death that comes with it.But the truth is, so is everyone else. We are all secretly scared of ending up lonely, that's why we spend most of our lives in our fake personalities.You're not the only one. You're one of the few that has acknowledge the fear behind many too scared to find out.Now that you found this fear, you can let go of it. You can let go of it because you've experienced a bit of it, and you don't want yourself and others to have to go through the same experience.You can use depression as fuel to rediscover your true self, the reason you fell into depression in the first place.
I'm so depressed I don't want to do anything?
I'm 15 and lately i've been so depressed. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning. It takes all my will power to get up, take a shower, go to school. I feel so alone. I have friends, and I know they love me but i don't know, i still feel alone. I don't even have a really bad life, but i can't shake the sense of hopelessness or self-loathing. I don't know what to do anymore. Yesterday I caught myself staring at a kitchen knife, and imagining stabbing myself with it. I'm scared. I don't want to scare my mom though, I've told her that I want to sleep all the time and she said that I was probably depressed and taht was that. The thing I don't get was just a few weeks ago I was so happy, I was looking into like a bunch of different careers, and really excited about school, and seeing my friends, and I painted my room. And now I just don't want to live anymore, even though just a few weeks ago I knew how my life was going to be planned out. I don't know what's happening to me, I hate feeling like I'm in a deep dark hole. Please help me. I'm scared. What should I do?

I'm depressed and I don't know why. Is that normal?
Well, it depends. Maybe you just haven't identified the source yet.If you're diagnosed with depression, then it's completely normal and it's just one of the charming little perks that come with the illness. If you aren't diagnosed with depression…Are you experiencing signs/symptoms of depression? Some warning signs might be:losing interest in things you previously enjoyedfeeling hopeless or apathetic; becoming aloof or distancing yourself from othersunstable weight with loss or increase in appetiteyou sleep too much or you have trouble falling asleepcrying for no apparent reason or from seemingly miniscule things like dropping a spoonyou have thoughts of or urges to hurt yourselfyou've been irritable/short-tempered lately and possibly find yourself taking it out on other people2. Are you trying out new medication?3. Has a loved one died recently (past few months)?4. Has there been a major change recently? For example: getting a new job, having a bad breakup, going through a divorce, moving to a new area…5. Is someone treating you badly? (A friend, classmate, co-worker, lover or ex-lover, family member…) Do you think someone might be hurting you, physically and/or emotionally? Are they being controlling or aggressive?6. Are you being excluded or belittled in some way? Are you socially isolating yourself?7. Do you engage in substance abuse?If you answered no to all of these, you might want to think about seeing a professional if it gets worse. There could be an underlying cause that isn't psychological……or maybe you've just been having a rough time lately!
