Depressed with life?
well hun, im 17, and i've had very severe depression for 3 years and counting, and everyday for me is worthless. sometimes i wonder why i get out of bed in the morning since everything to me seems meaningless, everyone on this earth ignores me, and the only way things would get better is if i end my life. so why haven't i already? because there are very few moments in my life when i stop and realize that there are a few ppl out there who's lives i may have had an important impact on, like my best friend or my sister, and would miss me if i left them forever. plus, i would miss out on all the fun things in life, like my senior prom, a first kiss, learning how to drive, and making new friends in college. to me, suicide is the COWARD'S WAY OUT. ppl who commit suicide cant take a challenge in life because they feel that they will always fail no matter what. i used to feel like this, until i learned to try. there's a single tiny spark left in me that says "why not give it a try? you may find that you can get good at it. it might be fun, too." so hun, long story short, dont end your life right now. i guarantee that NOTHING good will come from it. you'll only be hurting the feelings of those who truly love you, like that guy said he did. do you really want to do that to them and him? if he loves you, then he really must believe you're a great person with a lot of potential. please believe that there is a purpose out there that needs to be fulfilled by you and you only. i hope you make the right decision and keep living life until you learn to love it.
Why do I feel so depressed and bored with life?
Here's one way to chase away your blues, if your routine has been lacking in action: 1. Get up earlier than usual and go for a slow morning walk for an hour or so. Find a nice place to eat your breakfast. Bring your camera along to capture any unusual shots of people, pets, Nature. 2. Pick up a simple skill -- playing the guitar, harmonica, flute, bagpipes,etc 3. Or take up sketching, cartooning, magic, a new language(Spanish, French, Mandarin?) It can be a most refreshing and inspiring thing to do something different for a change. Try it. You really have nothing to lose. Pull in a friend to enjoy with you. Blessing! :-))

I feel depressed, how do I improve my life?
It's hard to say for certain what the causes and remedies are for your situation but I guarantee you that tee following will help:Exercise - moderately and regularlyDiet - Cut out all sugar and starch and stick to veg, meat and fat. If possible, only drink alcohol moderately, to relax or socially. No beer, no sugary drinks. No fruit juice!Eliminate negative self talk - we say stuff to ourselves that we wouldn't dare tell other people (e.g. I lost my car keys so I'm a useless loser) because they'd leave us.Don't think positively, think accurately. This includes acknowledging your current state truthfully and setting realistic goals with realistic time frames.Stop thinking and start doing: you desire to be out there so just do it. Stop trying to understand the how and why and why not of everything and just do it. For example, Next time you feel the desire to strike up a conversation with someone don't give yourself time to think about it,just do it. Be present and engaged in the conversation (or whatever you've decided to do).Meditation or focus exercises can assist you with being present and being less analytical before making certain decisions. Make these changes in small steps, don't be hard on yourself. Be your own best friend and champion. Try to enjoy all that you're doing and stop taking it all so seriously - it all ends so fast anyway that it's best to enjoy the time you have.Hope this helps.
I'm so depressed?
I hate my life, I have a few friends, my parents tell me how hateful and negative I am and my life is boring. I can't take it anymore, I'm not on antidepressants and I am in my sister's shadow. I have everything I need materially but I'm just not happy. I can't remember the last time anyone made me truly smile or gave me a genuine compliment.
Why do I feel so depressed, despite my good life?
Depression can only be diagnosed by a competent professional so I won’t venture into this.But from what I read, you have no close friend & here would be the issue to me : you believe people wouldn’t like you if you were yourself around them.It is actually true. Some will distance themselves from you. Some will judge you. Which is ok, you cannot be friends with everyone you meet & you don’t want to be friends with them anyway. Don’t resent them.But it is as well very true that some won’t distance themselves. On the contrary. Not only they can understand how you feel, but they might be able to relate because they have been thru the same as you.There is amongst the people around you at least one other individual that is struggling with loneliness.I personally have never loved my friends more than when they were in need of emotional support. It’s an occasion for me to know them better, know myself better & that’s what make our relationship meaningful.Not the cool vacations in Barcelona, not the drunken nights in town … I could potentially have fun with anybody.But I cannot have bad times with everybody.Now you have two choices : going to see a competent professional that can help you understand why you believe you cannot show this part of yourself to others. Fear of being rejected ? Fear of being judged, misunderstood … Why are you so scared ?Or you can try to force yourself out of your comfort zone : amongst the people who like you, there are a few you get along quite well & enjoy the company more.Start seeing them more often & focus on getting to know them better.You start with a huge advantage : you seem to know how to make them laugh so you are already likeable & memorable.I promise you, a few of them will naturally, after a certain time, confide in you because they came to trust you. And you will realise by yourself that you still like them, even when they are not the funniest person in the room anymore.

Why am I depressed if my life is fine?
You are at a very unstable point in your life. You are 16. A lot is expected of you. You are in the middle right now. You are not quite a child and not quite an adult. That can lead to a lot of anxiety.... I'm glad to hear that your life is good and that you have good parents but, from what you have told me in your question, I think that you are suffering from anxiety and depression. Depression is so hard to put your finger on because you think that your life isn't so bad yet, you can't seem to stop the depression. Depression isn't just a state of mind. Depression can be the result of a chemical imbalance in your brain. Everyone's brain is suppose to produce a chemical called Serotonin. Some brains don't produce any or, they don't produce enough. Serotonin is critical for feeling balanced. If your brain doesn't produce it or enough of it, you will suffer from depression....I know what I'm talking about because I too suffer from depression. I take an antidepressant. It has changed everything for me. You should talk to your parents and to your doctor and see if an antidepressant could help you. Feeling depressed for no reason is not fun. If your brain isn't producing enough Serotonin, it isn't your fault and there is nothing you can do except to try medication. It could change your life. You said you just want to feel normal...Normal....I always felt I wasn't normal...Antidepressants make you feel normal. I think your problem is a combination of your age and uncontrollable depression (which isn't your fault). Just talk with your parents and doctor. I think it will be very helpful to you. I hope I could help
