I feel depressed all the time sometimes, for no reason. I feel worthless and like no one wants me, what should I do?

Hello. I am sorry you are feeling so low. We all go through rough patches from time to time. Generally we pull ourselves through it, but if you are struggling, maybe you should visit your doctor. You are not alone in this. There are thousands and thousands of people in the world feeling just as you do right now. Try to talk to a friend or family member about how you feel and ask for their support. I am sure you will get through this hard time.

perhaps admitting you have a problem and calling your doctor. Sometimes you cant help but feel depressed and have anxiaty (?) It may be a chemical imbalace. Might not have anything to do with you directly.

Gosh I feel bad for you...sounds like a hardcore case of depression.  It's so easy for other people to just tell you to seek therapy, isn't it?  I have lifelong bipolar disorder, so I know how it feels to have been down in the depths of depression...thankfully for me, I eventually snap out of it and go into "happy" mode.  In my experience, talking to a therapist has not helped.  They ask me a million questions, write them all down and make me feel like a science project, give me a prescription, and send me on my way -- all for $175 for a 30 minute appointment.  I have found that when there is a constant vague feeling of depression for seemingly no reason, it is because I have suppressed that reason.  Identify the sources of your unhappiness.  For me, I finally realized that it was about three different instances in my past that had changed my mindset or my innocence in some way -- made me jaded to the world.  I'm still working on it, but I'm hoping to confront and forgive or be forgiven by the people involved.  And yeah, I've had my heart broken and I still have feelings years later, so it's perfectly normal.  If you have self-esteem issues, work on something that you enjoy and that you are good at -- don't worry if you fail at first, practice makes perfect.  Help others or be a friend.  It's almost impossible to feel low about yourself if you know you are good at something or worth something to someone.  If your self-esteem is in the dumps because you are worried about what people think of you, then don't be.  Look at people who are stupid and unattractive and have confidence -- if they have it, then why shouldn't you?  Basically, you need to recognize meaning in your life.  It's already there, you just need to find it.  All right, enough Dr. Phil crap from me.  Good luck and bless you.

Is there someone in your family you can talk to about how you're feeling? A close friend? If not, there are hot lines you can call where they have experts available to help you, and help you find solutions to your problems. When people talk about killing themselves, it's usually a cry for help. You need to seek out that help (you've already taken the first step.) There are experts with a lot of experience that can honestly help you deal with whatever pressures, difficulties, or depression is causing you to feel this way. A lot of people have felt exactly the same way you are feeling, and have gotten through it. You're definitely not alone, and happiness is not something that is unattainable, even though it may seem that way now. I wish I could offer you better advice. I certainly know how you feel.

This seems a bit cold - and I apologize for that. But you need to really take a GOOD look around - you're typing on a computer about how depressed and upset you are. Atleast you have a house under you, which some people don't. Some people would literally kill just to have a roof over their head, and you definately would not hear those people complain that they were depressed. Life is short, yes, and sometimes it can be lonely, depressing, irritating, etc. But when you look at what you have, compared to the guy you see every day on your way home from work, or school if you're not as old as some of us, you have it pretty good. He holds a sign that reads "Homeless and Hungry - Please Help", and meanwhile you roll your window up and try not to make eye contact. Maybe turn the radio up a little to tune him out altogether. You get home and Mom or Dad, or both, cook dinner and sit down with you each night to hear all about your day. Or if you are old like us (relax, just mean over 18 or 21) you might be the one sitting down with your children to hear them talk excitedly about the day they had. Just thinking of my family can usually cheer me up when I am feeling down. Also, giving money to that guy helps to make me feel a little better. \n\nJust think about your family, friends, your car, your stereo system, your last good hook-up, whatever makes you feel happy and better, when you are feeling down.

You should DEFINATLEY go to a psychologist/psychiatris. They are very good at dealing with these things. You should go to your physician too because depression can be something chemical in your brain...and there is medication for that. So just do this as soon as you can and I hope you feel better about yourself and your life!

Most often people feel lonely because they haven't learned to love themselves very much. Often it's because they spend so much time trying to please others or to be all things to all people that they don't take the time to learn what THEY need themselves. It's hard, but you need to learn to be happy with yourself, about yourself, and by yourself. If you can do this, then you will not find yourself lonely, or needy. In turn, others won't be turned off by you because you seem lonely, and sad, and needy. You will suddenly appear more interesting and desirable to someone else. It may sound contradictory, but I think you will find many people will agree with me.

You need to talk to a Dr. you sound depressed. But no one but you can change your life. If you feel like your stuck and cant do anything about it it could be depression.

This happens when people are neglected. Find something you like to do and make friends who are positive. Sometimes, even having friends through the internet gives you something to look forward to, and it can help boost your confidence and self-esteem and not make you feel like you want to run away. And of course, make a personality of your own, so that your family can notice you and appreciate your inner beauty! :)

ive read your profile and previous questions and for whatever reasons i believe you are deeply unhappy within your self-depression if you like-actively find solitude,get comfortable and try to focus on one thought only-as your mind clears search for the root of your problem,try to identify the real source-elect a way to change it to your benefit-take action,no matter how small .you will then have begun to fight back and feel better about yourself and this in turn with each action you alone make to affect the path of your destiny-as is your right-will give you back the control you feel you may be losing-and hopefully have you feeling like smiling again-its worth a try,good luck.x -remember "a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step !"x

If you are depressed, I strongly suggest that you talk to a psychiatrist. You may have a chemical imbalance. If you go and seek help they might prescribe an antidepressant that will help you to feel like a real person again.

baby girl, if you start doing thing for yourself. you'll feel much better. you have a good surrounding but it's up to you to make yourself feel happy and belong. so start an activity. join some cause that you believe in.

'Everybody' does not hate you.  I am sorry if you are going through a time when it feels as though you are not appreciated or supported, not having fun, feeling left out...\n\nMaybe changing your circle of friends might help? Finding a new hobby or interest?\n\nDon't fall into the trap of believing that every person you meet hates you.  Give them a chance to see the real you and also, when you feel a bit more confident, show interest in others - people tend to like that, if you are being genuine :-)\n\nI do hope you have someone you trust that you can talk to about this.

Chances are though that a lot of it is just in your head. I bet they're are boys out there that find you cute, if not maybe you haven't me the right people yet. sounds like maybe your suffering from depression. We all get that sometimes. \n\nIts common to sometimes feel left out of the world and alone. If you feel these feelings to often maybe you should talk to someone.

Hello! Can understand what you mean. Have not got too much self-esteem neither... but I have come to accept that it is not okay for me to feel that way somehow. I want to change it. Think one really needs to decide deep within to change it. There are many beautiful suggestions here. A counsellour I saw some time ago told me that I should say out loud "I am a wrothwhile person and I deserve to be happy." ... and it worked. Just that I became kind of lazy :o) . What might help you as well is the link below. It might seem childish but it really does help. Enjoy it and good luck to feeling better toward yourself :-) !
