I am going through the same thing, my boyfriend has not cheated on me, but he makes me misserable, when I look at him I want to throwup. I just take it one day at a time, also exercise is a good way to realease endorphins, and those help make you happy, I probably spend to much time exercising, but at least it is productive. I wish I could give you some better advice, I would say break up with him, but sometimes that is hard to do, if you need someone to talk to let me know, I am always here to help.

Some people have a chemical imbalance that could cause them to feel this way.  If the doctors you have been dealing with have just been trying to figure out what the "outside problem" is (e.g. trauma in childhood, trauma in adulthood, etc.  ) Try finding someone who will address the entire issue.  You may have had events in your life that cause you to feel this way, but in addition to that you may have a chemical imbalance that adds to these feelings.  Please get help, don't settle on one doctor who doesn't help you, keep searching until you find the right person to give you the help you need.  It sounds like you have family who are willing to help, so take advantage of that.  Talk to your higher power and realize that life is worth living.  Best of luck to you.

Probably because you are not exactly happy where you are at in your life now. Things outside of you connot truly make you feel better, you should spend some time each day, even if it is just for a few minutes to allow yourself to think. Whenever I'm not feeling quite right ( whatever that is ) it is usually some unresolved issue that I've been avoiding!

I think a lot of people feel that way from time to time! I have felt that way when I was having anxiety or depression. It is kind of an detach feeling, or a feeling of unreality. If you are feeling this way often than you might want to talk to your doctor! \n\nI hope you feel better soon!!! Best wishes to you!

If you are that sad or depressed inside then eventually it will start to show on the outside as well. You need to try talking to someone about your thoughts and feelings right now and try to get out what's really bothering you or getting you down. If you get to feeling worse you  could see a doctor and maybe try medication to help you feel better like paxil or zoloft. Just don't let it drive you insane. Talk to someone.    Good luck.

You could be depressed.  It's nothing to be embarrassed about.  If you cry alot, and don't get joy from things you liked before, it could be.  Why do you think she is wrong?  \n\nLife is too short to feel so sad.  It might help you to be open minded about depression.  You have a computer - get more information, help yourself as much as you can.\n\nYour school counselor is probably concerned about you.  You can talk to your parents if you feel comfortable with that.  If you don't go do a teacher, friends mom, or other adult you can trust.  \n\nI have been depressed in my life, and it is so easily treated.  I should never have suffered as long as I did.  There's counselling, and or medications that can help tremendously.  Please don't give up.  \n\nI always remember life is too short, and I don't want to feel so sad.  Please help yourself so you can be a happy and content person.\n\nGod Bless

that is depression but dont take any meds, i suffer from depression, and ill have it forever cause is something i was born with, it runs in the family. The best way to know what is best for you is to go to a therapist, talking to someone really helps, there is also an herb calles Saint Johns Worth and you can find it at Henry's, it can really help you.\nI took meds and they made me feel worst, plus they are addictive.\nTry exercising! Since i started going to the gym i feel really happy, its really the best way to feel good.

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.

We are all victimised...\n\nI love those answers from pseudo-psychologists who say they need more info to be able to help you! LOL\n\nHow the hell can you help someone that is obviously feeling down and depressed,,, you will supply them with bullshit psychobabble that you've learnt through your "life-experience" that will probably add to their psychoses...\n\nListen mate,,, go to your doctor.. they know you best and also know how to help... if not... talk to a mate at least... but DO NOT rely on amateurs on Yahoo Answers

It sounds like depression probably caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.  If the feeling persists for much longer or keeps coming and going, I would speak with a doctor and maybe they would perscribe you some kind of medication to help.

Baby, if you ain't depressed, you're missing an awful good chance to be! You may have more than depression. Depression can be a symptom of another problem, anything from mental and emotional troubles to the physical. Insured or not, I strongly advise you to get a checkup at the local clinic (they usually have sliding fee, and sometimes can help for free). There is a questionairre they all have which will only take a few minutes to do, and they can refer you to a professional counselor if the meds don't help. (Alot of times it is just a chemical imbalance.) There is no shame in having a mental or emotional disease, only a shame if one doesn't get help for it!

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.

Honey, I've been exactly where you are now.  Please don't be so hard on yourself.  If you are depressed, see a professional, you may need an anti-depressant.  Sometimes the chemicals in your brain just get all messed up and meds can help that.  \n\nThink of how boring and empty the world would be w/o you in it.  No matter how bad things may seem, you were put here on earth for a reason, you just have to figure out why.  And even though life can be extremely hard most of the time, it is still worth fighting for.  Please don't give up yet.  You can feel better.  Your life can be better.  \n\nIf you ever need to talk seriously about this, email me anytime.  I know that I don't know you, but I am a good listener.  Plus, I do know what it's like to feel empty inside. A few weeks in an institution for attempting suicide really opened my eyes.  \n\nSurround yourself with good positive people that love you and keep telling yourself that your life is important.  My email address is on my profile if you need.  Write me anytime.   Take care of yourself and God bless!!!
