Living in texas makes me depressed and suicidal anyone else feel this way?
Texas is a miserable place I have no friends people here are two faced they are nice to your face then talk **** behind your back, Say something negative about the state they get pissed and spread it around so everyone knows about it. All the women here are either golddiggers or drugaddicts, the place is so segregated everyone sticks to their own kind. I am looking to move to another state before I hang myself anyone else feel the same?
Help My Stepmother thinks I am depressed how do I convince her that I am depressed?
I am 16 years old and, live with my dad and stepmother. My Stepmother has been in my life since I was 4 years old. She said that I stopped communicating with her and my dad overnight. she read something in my diary that i wrote out of anger and it really upset her than she showed it to my dad. Now my dad is convinced that i am depressed. They are talking about making me go to counseling and my stepmother wants us to go to family counseling. Something has been bothering me but I don't feel like talking about it at this time but I am not depressed. How can i convince her that I am not depressed? Should I just tell what is bothering me?
I hate where I live, could this be making me depressed?
I live in a area of a city that I really can't stand. My dream was to live in the country in a old farm house! My dream has not come true yet, and I cry a lot, and I hate to go outside, I hate to even take out the garbage. I want to move, but I don't have the money for the farm house in the country. I feel so sad all of the time, because my kids can't play safely where we live. I know that there ae people suffering far more than me, but I just need to know if this failed dream is making me feel so bad?
Should I Go to a Local University (Top 200 Ranking Internationally), However I am depressed here, or, Go study Abroad?
Some context; I'm living in Ireland, and In a year I'll be finishing my final state exams, Which afterwards, I'll have to decide what I want to study. My problem is that, I feel very depressed living here, The weather is much poorer, and the people my age don't seem to have the same interests as me, I don't have that many activities here but I try to keep myself occupied, yet, I still feel very much alone, and constantly sad. I want to study abroad, I have met people online and I've talked to them for roughly 4 years, I feel envious of what they do, and they ask me to visit. In Ireland, I'm really depressed, sometimes I feel like I have no energy to even get up in the mornings or talk to people or even feel like eating. I even stop doing my hobbies because I completely lose motivation. I really don't want to spend another 4-5 years in this country, I see why many people will be attracted here, but I'm just not happy, and I haven't been happy here for 4 years of my life already. My Issue; The Issue I'm having is that my local university is top 200 in the world, and my parents really want me to go there, However, I have met some people that seem to be interested in the same hobbies as I do, going to the beach, dining, going around the shops, hanging out, and I really want to study in Portugal, I've wanted to for a very long time now, But my parents disagree.. I want try things that may make me happy, but my parents want me to stay, What do I do? and what are your opinions?
