I understand what you are feeling. I am very much like that myself. I think it happens because I take everything and everyone overly serious and i take everything to heart. I have learned that a good way to cope with sudden mood changes is to write your throughts/emotions down. I used a journal like an emotional logbook....what was the situation, what emotions did it cause and how severe where the emotions and how did i react? How did others react to my reaction? Things like that can make you discover a deeper reason for your moodswings which can help you learn how to control them better. Of course, counceling can help tremendously. It sounds like you let your environment control your emotions.....maybe that can be helped through journaling and counceling. Try it out, and see if you can figure out what causes you to change moods so quickly.....you might need to take a more objective approach to yourself.

You are living in the past. Let go of it if you ever want to be happy. Cant cry over spilled milk. Shake it off and move on..it will not change anything if you sulk about it and are depressed. Will things change? No. Be happy instead

First off, it sounds like you have had a lot to deal with over the last few years..a lot that has made you feel down, and concerned.\n\nFirst you must take care of you. You can do this in little ways. Pampering yourself with a massage or a pedi/mani might help (sounds little..and of course expensive..but this is something you could do at home and make yourself feel better about you. In other words pamer yourself and remember that you alone are in control of your own destiny. You are only 29. You have TONS of time to find that "someone that loves you" (I have numerous friends who didn't reach that goal until they were in their late to mid 30s and 40s....so you have time!). \n\nLastly, do things that make you happy. You mentioned you wanted to be the fun person you were before your baggage. What did that mean? Where did you go to feel happy, were there hobbies or things you did that made you feel special, or in a great mood if so...go back to doing those. Find the "real" you again.\n\nOnce you feel stronger and more in control of your own happiness, the rest will work itself out. People will see the spark in you and want to be around you, go out with you etc.

Nope, I think that feeling comes from not being happy with your current situation. Change the situation and you will feel fulfilled.

Because you are experiencing a momentary/temporary feeling that everything is going wrong. Don't worry however, this feeling never lasts too long. It is in human nature to feel depressed, but not in human nature to feel depressed for very long.

These kind of feeling will come when you are not busy. Keep yourself busy doing something. Take your time to relax also. Go around. Find some good places with entertaining friends. Friends are the one who can make you feel good. Enjoy urself visiting new places if you feel so. Do some service oriented projects if you are willing for ? You can always learn from what others undergo..isnt it.. It is the world and it will be like that. What you think is what you are. If you are a fool, you are a fool. If you are  smart, you are smart. So, think and be focused as what you want to be.\n\nIn Seva

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

First, feel free to really mourn.  Don't wallow in it, of course, but let the feelings run their course.  They begin the healing process.  \n\nSecondly, begin doing things you know you used to enjoy, even if you don't feel like it.  You might not get the same kick out of things at first, but sometimes you have to act like you feel good before you actually do.  \n\nFinally, remember to count your blessings.  Focus on the good things in your life.  There are many more than you may see now, but you'll see more as time goes by.  The more you focus on the positive, the more positive your outlook and your life will become.\n\nGood luck.  We've all been there.

OK.. you confuse me... lonely? Ok Ok! Sometimes its good to be on your own, find out who you really are. Its always good to get back to your roots and the reason you feel lonely is because your not yourself. Remember... You dont need anyone to make you happy. Once you are happy and whole... Then youll stop being lonely and be able to make others happy and whole aswell. Take care. Heidi

Either you are a bit depressed or maybe just became a little lazier??? Try visiting a counselor.

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 feel this way.  First you might try to find out what is depressing you?  (Harder than it sounds)  Why aren't you happy?  I happen to be a person that loves change, and when I'm not getting change (at least every once in a while), I get very unhappy and depressed.  Medications don't always help...I tried them once...didn't work!  It's good that you have a boyfriend who is supportive...that's very important.  Having someone there to support you is something a lot of depressed people don't have.  If you'd like to talk details, feel free to contact me; I'd be happy to help with anything I can.

There's always a good side to everything, or there couldn't be a bad side.  Try focusing on the positive things that have happened because of it.\nYou can't change feeling hurt, that takes time.

The only person that can help you out of this situation is you. You have a mind set that everyone is leaving you behind and is going on with there own lives getting married gettin wraped up in there jobs. You should find what makes you happy and try not concentrating on what the people around you are doing. Be your own person.. and try to find the little things that make you happy. It also sounds like you might be a litte depressed... talk to some one if you can to help you release what your feeling inside.

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!
