Me and my best frnd have had the best relationship ever......we've known eachother for a long time and we have been so tight......now that im depressed, i dont like talking to her anymore or telling her how i feel or anything....she has been there for me, but sometimes she gives me my space....i know shes always going to be there for me, but i feel like shes changed.......shes always with other girls now and shes getting very close with them......it makes me more depressed to see me loosing or already have lost my best friend, or that i have been replaced with someone else.......how am i supposed to deal with that on top of my depression? shes very considerate but she also does not fully understand depression......like she thinks its easy to snap out of it or just talk to her............?

Right now, I feel so hopeless and depressed. I am 19 years old. I am attending a local community college while living at home. I have no friends anymore, and I spend most of my time alone. Right now, I can't seem to think positive and I feel very hopeless. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever been in a similar situation and gotten out of it??

But i got the results of my blood tests and they were nomral, does that mean i cant take antidepressants? Please answer me that would be so appreciated..thanks!

I have no one to talk to anymore. everyone one in my life is gone or i have detached myself from them. the last two years of my life have been extremely rough and my childhood was practically non existant. I need help so bad, no doctors will get me in for a month even though i said that my depression and anxiety are at the lowest they've ever been.
I am only 21 and feel like I'm dying. I am scared and don't know what to do. I feel very suicidal lately and almost feel like I am going to go out of control and do something even though I don't want to. I think I'm going crazy. what do i do?

Ok in the past, I've cut myself about 3 times in 6th grade and 4 times in 7th and once in 8th and I've overdoced twice and cut myself 5 times last summer. I also have a plan of how to die and I know it'll work, but my question is... Can I still be suicidal if I think about cutting myself and imagine the cuts and lots of blood on my arm/wrist? After a while of the thought of cutting, I will actually cut myself... it's the only way to get it out of my mind. Oh and I've never been sent to a hospital, close, but no.

Do u guys know why we get numbness on our head? I have this problem for several years now but my neurologist said it's nothing to worry about, when we are stressed and/lack of physical activities brain will have difficult to transform the blood (flow of blood) to all the sections, because i'm the type who hates to do exericise/physical activites so she recommended me to go to gym, take healthy food and relax. Then it stopped even though i rarely get....but i still get it when i'm stressed and tensioned and when i get angry! I try hard to keep myself happy and calm, but there are times that i can't control myself, esp.when i get mad i don't really know what i'm doing, i simply loose my control over myself. What can i do for this?

I am 17 years old. Sometimes I really do sleep the recommended hours that the CDC conveys for my age, whenever I get the chance. However, I have a very hectic lifestyle. I have to go to college, religious services, chores, and keep in touch with my friends and family. And with college I have homework to do and internship. But when I have a chance to sleep like 8 or 9 hours I wake up still feeling tired. What is wrong with me? Also, when I watch television I fall asleep and also when my mother is driving I tend to also fall asleep.

I've been so busy lately with my educational pursuits, that one day it occured to me that I haven't done anything personally for me in a long time. Whenever I'm done with one chore and I know that I have some time where I could focus on myself and do what makes me happy, automatically I think of all the other responsibilities that await me, and I feel guilty stopping to take out time for myself. It's gotten to the point where the only "me" time I get is when I go to sleep, and that's about it - every other minute of my day is mainly focused on running errands and doing all kinds of chores. Unless I really pace myself and do a week's worth of work in a few days, I feel guilty for adverting my attention to me. I know this is not good and not healthy, but I'm not sure how to break this cycle of feeling guilt every time I'm thinking of getting some "me" time. I need advice.

Latley, i have been experiancing a change in my sleep, two weeks ago i couldnt keep my eyes open past 4 o'clock and now i cant fall asleep till about 5 in the morning, i easily start crying and get very worked up to the point i have an anxiety attack, my eating has been thrown off aswell... to eating alot to eating nothing . I have been feeling really depressed latley and I was on anti-depressants but they just made it worse, so my doctor took me off of them and referred me to a mental health clinic. I havent been yet becuase im very scared about doing so and dont know if i should go back on the medications. Is there a chance i am bi-polar? it doesnt run in my family though and im 18??? Please help .. its appreciated

I used to live in a neighborhood where i was friends with everybody, everybody knew me. i spent 95% of the time outside and would only go home to sleep. I had friends everywhere.

About 4 years ago i moved from that neighborhood and everythings been going down hill. It seems i took everything for granted. I cant make any freinds anymore and ive been going through things i've never thought i'de go through. I like this girl but i dont have the confidence to talk to her.

Now where im living the roles mostly changed, im in my house 95% of the time and hardly never outside. i dont want to turn into a lazy guy with no social skills............What do i do?
