I feel depressed and lonely?
It's like all these changes keep happening In my life. I just wanna go back to my old life when i was happy and had no problems.. But I can't anymore, because I don't have any friends like I used to. I can't be myself around people anymore, it's like I have to put up a front. All these people I used to call my friends all have happy lives now, and I'm just bored with mines... Depressed.. It's hard right now because I don't have anybody to rely on. I can't trust no one. Ever since I transferred to a different school in a different city, it's like I went m.i.a on everyone. My old friends don't talk to me anymore, I don't go on social networks anymore, I don't really go out like I used to. I do have two "close friends" but they're more like acquaintances to me. I say that because I feel like I can't trust them. They live in the city i go to school at, but i Never really hang out with them, i live 20 mins away from the city. It's something telling me that they talk **** about me and use me for my car. And I can never feel comfortable or be myself around them. I used to have two bestfriends that I hung out with every single day and be my complete self around, but we fell apart ever since I left my old school. School is boring for me now. I go to a continuation school for only 5 hours, then go straight home and have nothing to do. It's hard for me to get a job, because I feel like I'm not emotionally stable yet to mature. You know? I'm not as close to my family anymore because they all live in different cities... Idk what to do anymore.
I feel so lonely/depressed all the time...?
You might have Social Anxiety Disorder, which is somewhat of an "umbrella" or catch-all term for the collection of symptoms you describe (among others). It is similar to depression, but with SAD, the emphasis is more on avoiding other people ... social withdrawl. Anti-depressants work well to treat the symptoms of SAD. Because SAD is so similar to depression, the same medications will work for both. Not every anti-depressant works well for everyone, though ... it can be hit-or-miss until you and your doctor find the one that works best for you, and the correct dosage. The good news is that, once you ARE getting the right medication, you will feel about a thousand percent better. You can try to force yourself to go out in public, spend time with friends, etc., but until you get the underlying problem treated, you won't feel much better. See your doctor as soon as you can (SAD is VERY common ... your doctor will understand) and Good Luck.
I am so lonely and depressed?
I"m a guy, 19 years old and I hate the way my life is right now. My first year of college just ended and I can't get a job anywhere because i have no expierence and never worked before. I have applied to so many places and got no response back, not even one interview. To this day I'm still applying. Everyone including my family looks at me as if i'm worthless and shouldn't even be alive because I'm not social, i'm not materialistic, i don't have a facebook, i don't have a girlfriend, and i don't work. They always tell me to make a facebook to speak to my friends. But i don't even know who my friends are anymore. They always ask to me don't you have any friends. My friends in highschool ditched me and don't care about me anymore even my best friend the one person who was dedicated to achievement in highschool now drinks and does drugs. They won't speak to me because I'm not a partier. Its really sad. Even my own brother, the person i wish who would actually care and understand whats going with me would instead of laugh at me and try to make himself look good in front of everyone else. All he cares about is partying and his girlfriend who doesn't even like me. My parents care and do whatever they can to support me but i'm the type of person who is independent and would rather live on my own. I feel like sometimes my cousins and everyone else talks about me behind back which is really wrong and think I'm stupid because I'm not like them. Its rediculous, my parents won't even let me dorm because they think its a waste of time and money. So now my parents are wasting time and money for me taking a train to college everyday which is a two hour ride.
I feel so lonely, depressed and suicidal. Help?
You should talk to a therapist. Everything in life is temporary. We've all been in bad places in life but they do make us stronger if we strive to make ourselves feel better. I can't resolve your problems for you, but I know they're there and weighing you down. If it is something that is still going on try to distance yourself from it if it's possible. If it's something that occured in the past, try cognitive behavioural therapy with a therapist. You're worth much more than you think and you're NOT alone. You're beautiful from the inside and out and people do care. Just take Yahoo Answers for example, we're people too even if it's just a text written on your screen. We're people that have all been through things and we as a human kind care about each other. I don't want you to commit suicide, I don't want you to feel sad. Nor do people here, or people in real life that love you. Your friends or family, we ALL care. Just reach out and keep holding on. There will be change when you take action, there will be hope if you allow it to be. Like you did just now, you wrote this question in hopes of feeling better, and I genuinely hope we've helped you. P.S Here are two quick tips to feeling better almost immediately: Fake your happiness. Try to be happy and do things you normally would not. It doesn't have to be something big, just say "Good morning, you look great!" to somebody, and that sort of thing will definitely brighten your day. Don't listen to depressing music. It will affect you, try to listen to upbeat music and most likely you'll feel better then as well. Good luck!
