Sounds like your standards are too low if you let the last few guys use you. You need some interesting, exciting hobbies to get rid of the stench of desperation.  Plus, you'll meet interesting, exciting men while you're at it.

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.

Don't let things get you down.  And don't beat yourself up because you are feeling badly about things.  It sometimes is easy to blame ourselves and to think we are alone.   I know it can sound easy to do, but just try changing your thinking.  Call a friend and arrange to go to a movie on the weekend, or just go for a walk.   I know it can be very hard at times and sometimes the loneliness can be rough, but just hang on and try to see beyond the rough day you've had.  Remember, today will pass.  Tomorrow can be very different.\n\nAlso, if you feel the need to speak with a doctor, go ahead and confide in one.  Perhaps the doctor can help you with some counselling.   Sometimes we don't see things as clearly as someone else -- the old saying, "can't see the forest for the trees" -- because we're not seeing things with the same perspective as somebody else.\n\nGood luck, and get a good night's rest, and a better day tomorrow.

Very possible.  You need to re-connect with the people you care about.  Could be beyond just a feeling too...meaning that perhaps it actually depression and maybe you need to see a doctor for "help" or medication.  \n\nEither way, I would address it as quickly as possible.  It can really impact everything around you.

i think u need 2 get more involved in life. take up a hobby(one that involves other people), tell ur friends and family so that they  can support u through this confusing and difficult time and so that they can intervene everytime u feel a little down. u'r not alone in this world, u need 2 tell urself this everytime u start 2 feel desperate. no situation is hopeless. there are lots of people going throgh depression, so maybe u could find a support group if u dont have an understanding family. but in most cases, we tend 2 believe that our families will laugh at us or will think that we are freaks but they turn 2 be really undersatnading and caring. best of luck!!!\nps if u need a friend, mail me at shreyalovesmusic@yahoo.com. i'll be happy 2 help.

Been there, done that, it will pass, have faith and perhaps see a doctor.  You seem to be depressed.

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.

Best thing I can tell you is to take it one day at a time. Don't allow yourself to feel so overwhelmed, honey. I too have suffered from depression and the very best thing you can do is to not get drowned in all the emotions. You have a man who loves you, who seems to understand what's going on, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you in the first place. Try and realize that love is one of those things you have to take a chance on and sometimes it'll help cure what hurts.

Hello. I am sorry you are feeling so low. We all go through rough patches from time to time. Generally we pull ourselves through it, but if you are struggling, maybe you should visit your doctor. You are not alone in this. There are thousands and thousands of people in the world feeling just as you do right now. Try to talk to a friend or family member about how you feel and ask for their support. I am sure you will get through this hard time.

Everyone's life is full of worries.  What makes yours more important?  Just deal with what you can as you can and don't worry about the small stuff.  Take life one day at a time and thank God that you woke up this morning.  We all feel hopeless.  I have a good cry and sulk for a few days.  Then I pick myself up and move on.  I have a family to think of.  Just think of how your loved ones would feel if you were not here.  Don't be selfish.

The worst symptom would likely be feeling suicidal. Other than that you have someone like me who has turned reclusive, has anxiety/panic problems, fear people and places, avoided family and friends, feel like crying yet can't or cry all the time and can't stop, feeling hopeless, useless, worthless, total despair, trust no one...Yup that's where I am now. And I'm battling it alone.

I feel for you,  you sound like you are going through a terrible deppresion.   Im glad you are seeing a counsellor.  hope you continue too.   I think you need a prescription from your doctor though to help you through this.  It is so sad all the trama you have been through in such a short time.   I am not preaching but I will definetly say a prayer for you I think you might need help from every angle.   Do you have a spouse or family to talk to?\nCrying is normal but not continuous and sleeping that much is not good for you either.  You are going to have to try very hard to face this and hold yourself up and believe you can do it!\nI have had times like this and you need to get interested in something even if it is on the computer you might be able to reach out to someone else.   Please try to discourage the suicide thoughts I know it is hard but there are people who need you somewhere and that is very final.  I want nothing but the best for you so please keep in touch and let me know how you are making it through your days.       \nLife is Beautiful hon.   keep your head up and spirits higher.

Keith, you are presenting with the symptoms of Depression.  What you are going through is not your fault and there is help for you.  I believe medication would be beneficial, but I also understand that going to a doctor right now may be more than you are able to manage.  I urge you to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-TALK.  I am truly concerned for you.  You may also e-mail me through Yahoo Answers. Take care and let me know how you are doing.\n\nKeith I wrote my response  to you yesterday evening but I have heard nothing from you.  Are you ok?  Please give an update.

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!

Maybe you need something to fill your soul. I felt powerless once and tried to do everything to make me feel better about life and myself but nothing worked. Then I found God and I'm a changed man. I'm still powerless without Him but through Him I can do anything. If you think this is silly, then when you run out of options, you might just give God a chance. Who knows, you may just find what you are looking for. I know I did.
