I think you have been blaming youself too much for your failures. Look, there is no other choice but to do the best you can from now on. And that takes positive thinking. Once you have the right mindset, you feel relaxed and your mind will be more receptive to new idea and information. Your marks will improve soon.\n\nDont worry. Be interested in what you study. And don't blame yourself when you get bad marks! Tell yourself 'next time, i'm going to do better'.

Try and get out and do new things, things that you aren't bored with.  You say you go through this once a month, is it possibly a part of your menstral cycle that is affecting you?  Worth checking it out.  To be depressed you don't need to be sigh, sigh, sob, so that is worth looking into.  Good luck

Please, please, please don't kill yourself!  You may feel so hopeless and sad, but killing yourself is not the answer.  You are suffering from depression.  Depression is a disease, it is a chemical imbalance in your brain that can be fixed, sometimes with medication, sometimes just with counseling!  If you have health insurance, please go to your doctor right away and tell him or her how your feel.  He or she will send you to a psychiatrists who can help you.  \n\nYou put this question in religion and spirituality, so I assume you are religious.  If you can't get to a doctor please go to your place of worship and ask your rabbi/priest/etc to help you.  They may be a counselor, or they may know one who can help you for free or for very little cost.  Even if you do have health insurance, if you  are religious you should go to your place of worship because your rabbi/priest/etc might be able to help you by getting you more involved in church activities or other activities where you can make friends.\n\nIf you ever feel that you want to kill yourself, please call a suicide hot line instead.  The people on suicide hot lines can help you find hope, get help, and stay alive!\n\nGood luck, I hope you will keep posting so we know you are OK!

If you are that sad or depressed inside then eventually it will start to show on the outside as well. You need to try talking to someone about your thoughts and feelings right now and try to get out what's really bothering you or getting you down. If you get to feeling worse you  could see a doctor and maybe try medication to help you feel better like paxil or zoloft. Just don't let it drive you insane. Talk to someone.    Good luck.

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?

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.

Talk to your chaplain. Your conversations with him are confidential. He will probably recommend that you speak to a doctor, becuase it really does sound like you are severely depressed. It's not something to be embarassed about. It is a medical condition, and it can be treated.\n\nMy husband just got out of the Marines a few months ago. We went through a lot of deployments and it was really hard on both of us. I was severely depressed and it only made things worse for both of us. I got on medication, and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY. \n\nTake Care

Hi, I feel the same way, lost and broken.  You are suffering from depression.  That is the easy answer, the hard part is how to get rid of the depression.  Depression is anger turned inward.  Start by asking yourself Do I feel angry?  If this depressed feeling lasts for more than a few weeks you should see a doctor.  There are 2 kinds of depression situational (the dog dies so you are sad) or chemical depression, one of the brain chemicals is out of balance.  Not a very big deal just ask you doctor.  I wish you luck.  If you want someone to talk to I give great advice, and it is always good to talk to someone.

Not a doctor by any means, but the first thing I would determine is why I was depressed.  The solution depends on that.  Not to be mean, but just because it's V-Day is not a really good answer.  I would think that it might be something deeper.  Just a thought.  In addition, I think that the worst thing you could probably do would be to be alone.  Call up some friends.  Go out and have a good time.  Don't sit at home and pity yourself.  I don't know if this is what you're doing, but if it is, STOP :)

Go on the internet and take a depression survey.  I bet you are depressed.  If you are depressed, seek treatment.

You need to speak with a psychiatrist. There many drugs on the market for depression.\n\nBut I ask you this, what has been going on in your life? Why are you depressed?
