No, if you breath there is hope.  Tomorrow can always be better.  True joy is having hope for a better future while going through hard times.  Believe me I am going through some now and I still have hope.\n\nHere are a few things that may help u:  Go outside for a walk sunshine help increase serotonin levels, drink lots of water helps increase metabolism and energizes u, focus on the positive things in your life, OTC med like St John's Wart may help you, praying, and even reading a book.  Hey, Yahoo Answers might even help u.\n\n:D\n\nDon't sweat the small stuff! \n\nSerenity Prayer\n \nGod grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change\nThe courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

I'll toss ya a shovel so you can dig your way out! It sounds like your having a wild ride! I know from some of my close friends how bad depresion can be! But there's not much you can do! I advise to ride it out, or try and think of all the good times you've had without guys, or just the good times ytou've had in general! You seem like a stong, intelligent, young girl, and i'm sure you can through it! Just don't give up, and keep on digging your way out!

wow I feel so connected to you right now cause i feel exactly the same way.  When i find myself in a situation where suicide becomes an option I always think about the people around me, how everyone goes through bad times (and probably worse than those I'm going through) and ask God for comfort and help...and he always answers. ;)

I feel you...when I am depressed...(which is usually every day ending in "y") I definately make myself more depressed by listening to depressing music...or something that makes me want to cry just by the way it sounds. I hate listening to love songs when I am depressed because they just make me want to scream...but yeah I definately get more in the depressed mood by the music I listen to. I think its human nature to want to have someone relate to how you feel and what better way to do it then by listening to music...

i've battled bouts of depression for years.this weekend i figured out that i probably should live in a warm climate in the winter, because from the holidays until the weather starts getting warm i just hate everything.   it took years to figure this out.  but sit down and try and feel why you are so down.  if it's not because of what is going on in your life, it could be something chemically going on in your brain.  and there are meds to help that.  just tell your doctor .  i know my doc gave me a couple of books to read about life,etc. and a prescription.  i analyzed myself and i think i know what the problem is now.  next step is what can i do about it.?  as much as i'd like to i can't go to florida every winter.  but i can make it a goal for myself.  please talk to your doctor.  especially if something is going on in your life.  doctors don't judge you.  they are there to help you.

I understand how you feel but you must not dwell on these kinds of feelings.... volunteer for a something that you enjoy....spend a lot of time outside, noticing all the beauty in the world, get active and try to exercise (that's always good for depression) try to spend your time with people who will bring you UP and not DOWN, most of all learn to LOVE yourself, this is so important....you truly can't be happy with someone else unless your happy with YOU!!  This took me a loooong time to attain but I finally got there and you can too!!  I'm 36 and I'm still looking to meet the right person or to have that person realize that they want me.....I don't know that I will ever "find" someone but I sure intend on enjoying my life in the meantime!!!\nGood luck!

I am sure that they will "be funny" again.  Your personality sticks...the depression might alter it a little but they will spring back to normal.  Support them, be there for them.  If this person you are talking about is you, confide in a friend.  It's okay to cry and be depressed for a while.  It might be almost embarrassing to let that vulnerable side show since you/they were always the "funny and happy" one.  Trust me, you will seem even more real and likable when people see your human and have bad days...even if these days last for awhile.  Also, no one is too good to seek professional advice.  I'm not saying run out there and get put on medication, but you might need an extra boost to get back and going..whether it's just medical advice or whatever.  Good Luck.

Not right now but I SOOOO know how you feel. You need to pursue something you're interested in. That's what keeps me from being down, I just make sure I always have something to work towards.

sounds like you have something in your sub-conscious which is troubling you, might be worth a chat with your Dr

To be honest, all that behavior is very common in people who are clinically depressed.\n\nIt is very hard to get back on track, I know because I have struggled with this in the past as well.  If you try your best to make a conscious effort to get up, go to class, study, eat properly, and exercise everyday and you still count, you may want to consider getting an evaluation through your university or at an outside health professional.  \n\nIf you are positive that this is not it, I would strongly suggest seeing your general physician for some blood work to be done to see what is making you feel so sluggish.

yes i find that as soon as Fall gets closer i start to feel very different and find myself saying the holidays are coming next, u can get thru it just for a couple of months then the sun will start shining again and it will get better. but it's so hard for some of us just to get thru those winter months. for me it's a time when family and friends get together and enjoy each other and express their love for one another. unfortunately, my parents and grandparents have all passed away and i live away from my other relatives so this time is especially hard. it seems that the two friends that i do have sometimes may not want to spend as much time with me cause they know i get the "blahs" during this time. sometimes u can't let urself think that way cause u know it's ur depressed mood that causes u to see things differently. i'm currently on disability which has helped me a great deal cause there are many days that i can't function properly and can not hold down a steady job. this has lead to isolation though cause i don't have a car currently so i spend allmost everyday in the house alone and this can cause the depression to get worse. what i find that helps is at least making contact with someone everyday whether it's on the phone or trying to get out of the house to run some errands. it's true that the more sunlight that shines into ur eyes helps decrease depression. i've had a doctor tell me before to lay in a tanning bed for the ultraviolet light with extra sun screen, but that costs money and unfortunately can cause skincancer if ur not careful. i also find that if i can at least go to church or watch spirital programs on tv that helps me get through it knowing that God will not place anything on u that u cannot bear. i'm not sure how spiritual u r. and believe it or not, i find that getting on here and responding to some people's questions has helped me alot cause if i can help someone with something due to something i've gone thru myself then that makes me feel better. hope i've helped u some. Good Luck and God Bless:)

i, too, can relate to this song.  i feel like this quite often, unfortunately:-(  i always snap out of it, though.  i realize how lucky and blessed i am and that i could ALWAYS be a lot worse off.

You could use the stress as you insperation. Might help with being depress too.
