Talk to someone you trust, either family or friends. If they cannot help, see a doctor, try psychotherapy support, ask the specialist if anti-depressants may help you. \nAlso try to enjoy yourself, go out, look for a hobby, there must be something of interest to you, go to the movies, mix with happy people that make you laugh. Try to laugh a lot even if you feel you can`t. Good luck!

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.

if you feel this way often, you should get professional help from a psychologist or a psychiatrist, the latter is a dr. who can prescribe anti-depressants if necessary--a psychologist can listen and guide you or offer you ways to deal with your saddness or ways to change some outlooks of yours to erase your saddness- get some help ASAP--also, consider talking to a minister, or priest, or rabbi who has some background in counseling. get help ASAP so you can feel better and enjoy life and not be sad any more--good luck to you !!!

Get out and make friend. Maybe you are depressed and need to see a doctor. What has changed in your life to make you feel this way?

try to keep yourself ocupied most of the time and avoid spending time alone!talk on the internet watch something interesting on tv,anything.Go out with your friends.\nAnother thing would be to keep some sort of a diary where you should write everything you feel with the most details.\nDon't listen to depresive music and try to stay away from the thing that initialy caused your depresion.

Oh, hon... I'm so sorry.  What should you do?  Well, obviously, its important to confront them (SO MUCH easier said than done, i know).  I think that maybe you need to spend some time with yourself.  Get to know yourself, love yourself again.  Its so easy to feel bad about yourself in these types of situations, but you shouldn't.  THEY are the ones who should feel bad about themselves.  Join a group, make some new friends.  Most of all, know that you will be, someday, treated the way that you deserve.

Hello there! I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. People are so quick to say someone has depression. You say that you act like you are the happiest person on earth, but you aren't happy on the inside. You just have to believe that you do deserve happiness! I believe that you just have low self-esteem and self worth. 17 is a hard age! Believe me...looking back I felt the same way and wondered what the heck was wrong with myself. Just the pressures nowadays that are being put on young people is enough to make someone want to give up! I know to be happy is easier said than done sometimes, and it is a lot of work sometimes. Once you start believing in yourself it will get more simple. Life is too short not to have fun--experience life. I am not saying go out there and do foolish things, but enjoy the silly stuff. I am an adult and I still like to go to toy stores and play with the puppets! Because it makes me happy. I am not here to make anyone happy but myself. It sounds selfish, but before we can help others, we have to help ourselves. Just the fact that you asked the question on here shows that you are ready and willing to make a change for yourself. I have done a lot of "stupid" things in my life, but I have learned that loved ones are there for you no matter what you do. If people really love you, they are there for you no matter what! You can make little changes in your life. Use positive affirmation..when you start to feel those thoughts of hopelessness creep in--say to yourself that you are not listening anymore. If you are still feeling beyond hopelessness, there are many people you can go to to talk about it. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for some help and guidance. It is you standing up and saying you are sick of being that way and taking control of your life. I wish you luck and hope that I helped a little! Take care!

many people find themselves depressed and fed up and some point during their lives.\n\nin some cases these feelings blow over in a few days; in others they can linger and make it difficult to function.\n\nthere are a number of things which may be helpful- you have asked us "what do it do?" and you may wish to dirrect that question at yourself in the form of "what do i want to do? how do i want to respond to my depression in ways that i'm not doing right now?" \n\nthere are many ways to approach depression positively. take up meaningful work or volunteer work, speak with a counselor, focus on your goals and positive assets as methods of healing... only you have the greatest insight into your personal situation, both inner and outer.\n\nwork with what you feel and what you would like to feel. look at avenues for change and growth (relationships, counseling, opportunities for enjoyment) and trust your heart.

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!

Maybe you should travel.  If you can't, try gong to the hospital or old folks home and volunteering your services.  Helping others always makes me feel better.

Ideally, you should eat a well-balanced diet. Eat as many natural foods as possible and excercise a little every day. You will feel better. : )

Everyone tells you to talk to a doctor or take pills. My advise to you is to figure out if something in your life is making you feel depressed, (your job, family, your outlook on life) Another thing to check is if you are on any medication that could be making you feel this way. A lot of Meds can have this effect on you, check out the side effects that it has.....Whether or not you know what is causing your depression or if you are on any medications....activity of some sort or exercise always works for me!! Do something active once a day, you can take a walk for a half hour or more.....run, swim, bicycle, think of it as "your time to get away"...keep doing it for a few weeks and see how you feel. If your spirits aren't up it may be time to really check into it. Good luck and keep your chin up!!!
