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!

I know what your going through, sometimes my life just completely sucks and i just wonder why? does the world or god have something against me or something. But when my life starts to be crap.But the world isn't against, it just seems that way when your life isn't going the way you want it. When i feel this way, I do this: Take a long hot bubble bath, then sit down and watch your favourite movie with a mug of hot chocolate, and just relax and forget about it all. That's what I do, try it. It may work.

I was out of work for a while and it was awful. I was so broke and so bored. I hope you will find something soon. Just don't give up and start hanging out. That is the slow road to more unhappiness.

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!

Your family sucks!  You have a low self esteem.  Probably broke, hugh?  You should go to a recreational center or church..and talk w/someone about finding a mentor..evade difficult persons.  They are hurting and find satisfaction with your discomfort!  There is hope..and it is not where you are buddy!

I'm sorry your depressed. What makes me feel better is watching my favorite movie and talking to friends. Friends always help me get my mind off of things and make me laugh (as does a movie).

If you feel depressed, talk to someone that you like and trust.  Don't hold it in and feel that you are alone and no one cares.  There are people that care and that person might just be looking to help someone like you.

No, it's not normal to "like" being depressed. You should seek help. Maybe talk to a parent (if you're close) or a good friend. Change the things in your life that are bothering you. (Easier said then done, I know) But it's worth a shot. Do you want to be this way for the rest of your life? I hope not. Seek help!  : )

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?

Of course you are depressed. Don't be hard on yourself. Your boyfriend leaving you for one of your friends is a double betrayal. If she was really a friend, she would never have paid attention to him and she wouldn't go out with him out of loyalty to you. If they started being together behind your back, that's even worse. If you are suicidal, go to a therapist immediately!! Try to go out for walks instead of eat. Eating and sleeping too much will get you more depressed. I know it's hard, but you have to force yourself to get out. Exercise is the best way to start getting over the depression. Also, talk about the problem with a trusted friend or a therapist. It helps to talk and get feedback from others instead of going over and over it in your mind. You need new information in your head; like maybe it was for the best if it got two disloyal and self-centered people out of your life. Take very good care of yourself right now. You deserve it!

it sounds to me that you are very lonely, depressed, isolated, unhappy and don't have any confidence.  Is there anything positive in your life.  Do you work, have friends, family, can you do volunteer work.  First of all you're not stupid, you know the english language, you know how to type, can use a computer and have the insight into yourself to even ask this question.  YOU ARE NOT STUPID!  I need more info about you to help you, but it sounds like you need something positive in your life or someone to talk to.

By all means, please don't kill yourself. Life is what you make it. I know this world can be a cruel place, but you can find solace in God. It sounds like you are a good person with a good heart. Don't despair. Pray for your life to be filled with happiness and love. I will pray for you and keep reminding yourself that your life will only get better. I have been a victim of all those things that you have mentioned, but it only made me stronger as a person. Go out more, spend time with your favorite family members, learn a new hobby, go for the job you always wanted,and find a place of worship where you can confess your heartaches to. Also, keep telling yourself that you are lovable, loving, and you are loved. It helped me and I hope it helps you. Feel better.

I found talking to a therapist very helpful.  There you can express your feeling and not be judged.  But the only way for things to really change is if you change.  If life feels that horrible, change your life!  Change schools, change friends, live with other relatives.  Sometimes a major change will help you see the world differently.  And remember, no matter how much life sucks sometimes, it's better than the alternative.
