Whats That About?

2007-02-19 10:13:56 · 15 answers · asked by Anonymous

I lack motivation in everything I do. I'm failing Uni because I can't even bring myself to get out of bed. I could sleep all day, even if i'm tired or not. I really don't think I'm lazy, I just don't see the point in anything. Everything is so much effort, and I feel happier when I'm asleep and don't have to think all the time. Is this normaly, do most people feel like this?

I left my old school, and my new school isn't working out. I'm not challenged at all, so i have absolutely no homework when i get home. Then i'm bored, so i spend more time watching TV and talking over AIM, which has started many fights with my parents. My parents also don't seem to appreciate that although its easy, it takes a fair amouint of work to get all A's. I'm still having a hard time making friends at school, because I don't want to change myself so people like me. Its getting to the point where I decide what grade i want to get in classes, and I'm getting more tempted to get worse grades for many reasons- 1) so maybe my parents will appreciate my efforts more, and 2) so people won't think i'm such a geek anymore. I'm feeling more and more depressed... so I guess I have 4 questions- 1) how do I make people like me without changing myself, 2) how can i make my parents appreciate me, 3) what are some things to keep me occupied after school, and 4) how can i stay un-depressed???

I only procrastinate on papers and projects at school, but it has become a bit of an issue with me. I have a hard time focusing and getting stuff done (this website is sooooo distracting). It is not that I am a bad writer or that I am dumb, I just can't finish stuff!!! I don't have any kind of disorder or ADD or anything either.

i've seen many mocked and betrayed and looked down upon on this site who have posted questions concerning suicide. im confused. im lost. it seems like my whole life is a blur. i live an almost "perfect" life. i have a good family and great friends who tell me they love me countless times a day. im smart and my family is well-off. i've always been there for everyone while i've never been the one that needed help; the one who had problems. i've always been a great listener, i've always been the one to make my friends smile and laugh. but it seems like this year, i havent been able to live up to that. i feel so much pain and hurt and i feel stupid for not having any significant reasons. i feel worthless, disgusting, horrible, ugly and fat. i can't even talk to my best friend anymore b/c i do not know what to say. i feel depressed almost every second of the day but i have never been diagnosed. i easily get angry with everyone and then hate myself. i want to die, to escape the confusion.

ok so i've had severe depression for about 8 years now and every year it gets worse...right now it's a whole lot worse than i thought it would be because i thought things would have fixed themself by now but things have only gotten worse as time goes by...since its been so long is it going to always be there? even if i get some pills all these things that bother me will be in my memories and i'll still think about my problems drugs or no drugs....so what do u do about it?

my daughter is 6 and i have had suspicions for a couple of years that there is something not quite right with her, she lacks social interaction with peers, although very bright, hates change in routine, cannot hold eye contact, follow simple instructions & throws tantrums. also very clumsy, has blank spells & sleepy. have had 1 referral to a psychology centre & saw a young girl on placement who spent next to no time with my daughter & came up with a diagnosis that made me laugh - basically my standards are too high!! i have since been back to the doctor & have spoken in depth with her teacher & both mentioned autistic spectrum disorder & aspergers. i am prepared to go private if it means my daughter gets the best treatment available.

I think I screwed up this weekend on my daughters visitation with her father and damaged my daughter more than he does. Her father will sit on my couch every other weekend and not really interact with her. She has to bring books and toys to him while just sits there. She throws a fit when I mention he is coming and will not go anywhere with him (he has denied her for 3 years) I bribe her to be nice to him. This time he brought his ex whom he is in a custody battle with unannounced.. He started playing with my daughter when he has never done that before. I felt he was showing off, playing dad of the year. I let it go for awhile then no longer could deal with him playing with my daughters emotions because next time if he comes alone he will sit on my couch and again not interact. I asked them to leave. I apologized to my daughter and explained why I did that. She replied, "I don't mind." then went on playing like nothing happened. I was wrong for asking them to leave wasn't I?

There's countless posts on here from people with depression, sometimes at the end of their rope (literally). If you've ever answered any of them, or have known someone in your life with depression, what have you found to be the best way to help them through, and what words have proven to be most encouraging?
