It could be depression, but when I feel sad, it REALLY helps to talk to someone. It's as if a weight has been lifted of your chest. What also helps is the arts. Music, Drama, Art, and Writing.

Yes sweetie, it does sound like you are suffering from depression. Please take these messages w/your email to the nearest doctor or clinic and get on some type of medication. Also, you MUST get out of the bed and start some kind of exercise. It will release endorphines in your brain and make you feel better. Keep me posted. Much love from someone who has been there.

sleeping too much or too little. anger, agitation, anxiety. gaining or losing weight. feeling sad for no reason. don't like being around people. You have to see a therapist who will presecrive an antidepressant and give you therapy to help you get over it. i'm doing that now. good luck

I would go to your primary care physician and be completely honest as you have been here.  It could be depression without your knowing it, it could also be hormonal or loads of other things.  Wouldn't you rather just feel better?  I went, and am so grateful I did.

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.

Registered Nurse Here; Well hun, I think most of us feel this way from time to time, however when this starts out numbering the good days.  It would benefit you greatly to see a Physician, your family doctor, he or she, may decide with you to try a medication or they may suggest a psychiatrist.  Not sleeping well and crying spells are two classical symptoms of depression.  I know  your having a hard time, and there is no need for you to suffer to this degree in the era of medication and modern technology, you can be helped and assisted to feel better.  Please seek medical/mental attention,  there is MHMR, or a family practice doctor.  Both of these can put you on the road to recovery.  Thank you for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.  Please seek some help.

Everyone has their ups and downs. What seems big to you may be the least of someone else's problems. Count your blessings! You may feel low now, but time has a way of distracting you with new things. Cheer up! Something great is bound to happen soon!

All these are intertwined, Its good that you have discussed to someone but more importantly , like most people have mentioned here; you need to seek professional help and also disclose this feeling to your near and dear one provided you trust them as many a times it can make matters worse. It is not unusual to feel down in dumps, depressed and anxious at times, most people do some of the times, but suicidal feeling are rare and indication that things have gone far enough. I would suggest you to seek professional help asap and make your feelings and thoughts aware to your near and dear ones, your colleagues or neighbours but go and see your GP today

It could be a psychological sort of thing. Have you ever been face with a disaster? Or have ur loved ones around you ever suffered from one? I think you can break that thought by finding WHY you feel this way first. ONce you found out why, u can work on it. You can do things to forget about this fear, e,g exercise regularly, learning a new skill, volunteer work etc. As long as the activities are meaningful and make you feel happy, go ahead! Talking it out with friends or simply hanging out together by watching a movie or joking arouund will help. XD Hope you'll feel better soon!

hey, hello :)\nseems like you know you have some issues to overcome, i say you are almost there!\ndon't be miserable. everyone goes through this kind of emotions @ least once in our lifetime.\ni know this feeling too. sometimes, you feel so empty, miserable & unworthy. and every time,when you try to take 1 step forward, you end up taking 2 steps backward.\ntry to start a routine of exercizing, mix with positive people & read joke books.\ndon't ever indulge in self-pity & regrets. the darkest hours are just before dawn. life is a grindstone; and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him depends on what stuff he's made of.\nif you really look around you, everyone has problems too. what makes them happy is that they try to overcome their problems one @ a time.

It is normal to feel down about yourself at this age and during your life. Everyone needs someone that they can be with and vent to on occasion but besides that you need a friend.  Not just someone to talk to but a genuine friend that will laugh with you, cry with you, and be there for you when you need them to be. Not some person that is jsut there because of something you have and or could give them. First you must find what is making you feel so depressed. Once you have found that think about why you feel this way and telling yourself "I don't know" isn't the answer.  I mean who can you be honest with but yourself first, huh? I did a journal when I felt really down and that nothing was going right and then I tried this.  It helped me so much that I started letting go the bad feelings and bad thoughts and started living without a care about those thoughts again.  If you still are depressed then you may want to find out why and instead of being unhappy start thinking of what got you to this point. Everyone has to hit rock bottom before they can start climbing outta the hole. You aren't there yet but I don't want you there. I want you to be able to be happy and content with everything you do.\n\nGood luck my dear!

Very kind of you to ask us Ladies, my Son. It's normal to feel depressed or as if life is passing you by. You're 22 years old and it seems that you have it all right where you want it. You just don't know what to do with it. Be happy that you have what you do. If you continue to be unhappy go and volunteer at a soup kitchen or a shelter. Trend towards doing something useful rather than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Give money to a library or to a humane society. Do something for someone else. You don't need medication. You need a purpose. You have "things" but you need to give of yourself to appreciate them. Good luck, child. I hope you find what you're looking for.

WHY do you want to kill yourself sometimes? Or do you have no logical reason for feeling depressed? I have found that it is always slightly better when there is an excuse that makes sense because you have something to blame.\n\nI was depressed for several years, and came close to attempting suicide several times. Nothing that should have made me THAT depressed, just lack of friends and upset about poor grades. Unfortunately, I found myself holding a pocketknife to my wrist just the same.\n\nThe trick, for me at least, was doing the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. I really just felt like shutting myself in my room and crying or sleeping or playing computer games all day. It was a cycle: I would do this, my life would suck, I would be so depressed about how I was such a loser that I would do this. I doubt you are in the same cycle, but most depressed people are in some sort of emotional feedback loop, whether they put themselves there or not.\n\nOne day I said "%$#@ THIS!". I gave away all my computer games. I began approaching people and attempting to socialize, even though I lacked social skills and this was incredibly painful in ways I can't begin to describe. The truth is I have still not completely cured my natural antisocial tendencies, but I am A LOT better than before.\n\nIdentify your feedback loop. Break it by any means necessary, and you will be free.
