You are your own's best support. Even I was having that feeling earlier but then I find out what are my likes and I concentrate on that things. Whatever make me feel good I start doing that. Try to be positive towards life and enjoy whatever you Have. Something is not in your hand to change but you can create a way to be calm/happy in that bad time. Its all up to you to live happy or down. All the best

What you need is friends. Talk to them, hang out with them, etc. If you're upset, being alone is the worst thing. I guarantee you'll start feeling better if you build up close friendships.\n\nAnd by the way, if you're still upset, you can ask your friends for help! It's a win-win situation!

Sometimes it's good to feel lonely. Sometimes it's your heart's way of seeing you need some interaction with people.\n\nTake the rest of the day off and go walking where there are people. Call a friend or family member. Talk for an hour. Call up someone and offer to make dinner or take them out for lunch. Give of yourself and you'll find that the loneliness goes away as your gift is reciprocated.\n\nOh, hugs are nice, too. **HUG**

The best ways to rid yourself of sadness and loneliness:\n\nJoin clubs any hobby you are interested in (chess club, astronomy club, bridge club, womens club etc) you will make all kinds of friends.\n\nGet out of the HOUSE often. You need contact with people, any people (like at the store, library, swim center etc)\n\nGet lots of exercize, it promotes serotonin for good feelings (go swim at a pool, jazzercise, biking, hiking, walks, tae bo etc).\n\nEat healthy, very important to nourish the mind so you wont be depressed (lots of fruit and veggies and lean meat) Also take supplements (vitamins and minerals and herbs) Talk to someone at a herb shop or health food store. They have amazing stuff.\n\nRead Books (fiction for pleasure and non0fiction to learn about health, wellness, hobby, and more)\n\nGet involved (community service, find something you can help with) My best days were spent helping others. Very important for your well-being.\n\nMake contact with family and friends (make the effort to visit them, talk on phone and email them asap) See your child more often you are her mother and she needs you.\n\nHere is an important book I want you to read.

Dear Rebecca,\n           Take heart and know that you are not alone in your struggle with depression. I have the same problem too and understand how you feel. Please know that you are okay and sound like a very likable young girl. If your "friend" can't accept you with your problems as you are, then I'd say she isn't much of a friend and perhaps you should try for other friends who will appreciate you for all that you are. I am sorry that you have to be hurt this way and my thoughts go with you but also realize that there are people who really will like you as you, Rebecca! Take care of yourself and stay sweet!

I'm feeling really down right now too but my life isn't going good at all so that's my reason. As for you, try doing something that you like. Think about things that make you happy and make you smile. Everybody has moments when they are down. I'm sure yours will pass soon. Maybe you just need to clear your mind and get some rest and relaxation. I hope you feel better.

Perhaps I can help you out a little.  I have been dealing with a bout of depression for about a year now.  So I understand your situation.\n\nIf your friends seem to be distancing themselves from you, perhaps you should voice your concerns to them.  Ask them if you have done something to offend them, because you feel that they are shutting you out of their lives.  If they do not offer any answers, perhaps it is time to find some new friends.  \nPeople change over time, so do their opinions of others.  \n\nYou really should not allow it to hurt you physically.  True loosing a friendship is a traumatic event, but you have to be able to move on.  If you begin to dwell on why somebody dislikes you, you may miss out on forming another friendship with somebody else.\n\nI'm sorry you are feeling "down" from all of this.  All I can say is keep your head up, and live your life to suit YOU, and not those around you.\n\nI wish you all the best of luck in working through this situation.  If you ever need to just talk to somebody with a sympathetic ear, you can feel free to e-mail me anytime.  jam961@yahoo.com\n\nTake care, and God Bless You!

NO body? or just nobody you know? obviously you need to 1. get honest with yourself about who you are. is there an actual reason why "nobody" likes you? or is it just that you feel that way because you've got crap self-esteem and are depressed? 2. get out there and meet some new people. preferably people who don't already have preconcieved notions of who you are already. \n\n(i've had that experience, long ago when i was young--this sense that everyone already has put you in a box. that's when you either move or find a new circle of people to hang out with.)

just think you are "lonely" but not necessarily "alone" \ni know what loneliness and emptiness feel like, especially when i was younger. but what helped me through it was when i finally grew up and realized that the world does not revolve around me. we sometimes feel alone when we feel like we are being ignored... that's how i used to think. but now, i don't care anymore if nobody pays attention to me. you will get more positive feedbacks if you were to help other people in need -- and in return, that actually gets you noticed even more. compared to sulking in your own sadness. so try to go out and help out... it's a wonderful feeling.

I have almost the same problem,, and I know that even sometimes I help people so much and NEVER get something back,, most of the time i do not feel good! what I am doing now is I do say YES only to the people who deserve it,, my friends, family ,... people who really care for me,, try it step by step,, and keep in your mind,, NO BODY CARE FOR YOU AS MUCH AS YOU CARE FOR YOURSELF,, so put yourself first and all the others second,,

Go to a chat room, post questions, answer questions, go to sleep, and in the morning call a physician to see if medication for depression may help.\nAlot of people that spend alot of time on the net are bored or lonely or have some other problem and are seeking love and approval from others...people that don't know you anyways. And if you are lonely, speak with someone in your family or call a friend.

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.
