Question

ive been depressed lately crying all the time feel like im alone in the world feel that noone loves me i feel lost can someone help?

Answer 1

dont go to myspace...that is stupid...talk to a therapist

Answer 2

Cry Spells.


Been there done that. Oh wait, I am still there.

I haven't found a solution except I know the reason I am crying is because I am not happy with something happening. I try to find that out and fix it.

Most of the time I just feel lonely without my boyfriend, so I ask him to hold me until I stop. It has worked for some cases, but others I am having a real hard time.

I just try and let it pass.

Good Luck. And hey, if it means anything, your not alone, and I love you.

Answer 3

I don't have any friends either and my family has forsaken me. I am an adult so that means I have a job, and I use the future as my means of hope. I have big plans for the future. They don't always come true but they are what sustain me at least. So, at least you aren't alone in being alone. I get depressed, too, but I try to avoid blaming the world and only blame the few that are responsible for my woes. My mom was very mean to me, even to the last time we talked. It is easy to blame society along with her, but I realized that it really is only one person's fault. I also noticed someone posted up a MySpace link. I use that for a little bit of fellowship. It isn't super-great, but on there if you explain that you're depressed people usually respond en comfort.

Answer 4

Well, at first i pour out my feelings to a few friends, but i realised that instead of it making me feel better, i am scaring all my friends away. So i started reading self help books to "improve" myself. It helps elevates some of my feeling of helplessness. You might want to try out the books by Cheri Huber.

And sometimes when i really really feel very lonely, I will go sit and read a book in a crowded McDonalds, or any place that is lively and full of people (in my case i chose places with tennagers and young adults as i am around that age).

I will sit there reading and listening to the busy sound of people moving and talking around me and i will feel better, less lonely. I may not know those people, but just listening to their voices makes me feel that i am not alone in this world.

If you like, you can also email me, i'm available to chat. Don't stay depress forever, there is still tomorrow and the day after and you can still make more friends. Join some hobbyist club, attend night classes, find something to fill up that hole inside you and maybe one day you will realise for yourself that being depress or being happy is a choice you will have to make for yourself in your life. Other people can't make them for you.

=) You may be lonely now, that dosen't mean you will be lonely forever. People come and go, gather your courage and make new friends again.

Answer 5

This is going to sound really dumb but go to a mirror, look yourself squarely in the eye and start smiling. You'll feel so silly, you may just start to laugh and then, who knows what could happen from there! It works for me every time.

Of course, this will not work if you are truly, clinically depressed. For that, you would need to talk to a doctor or mental health professional and possibly get on some sort of medication. Good luck to you!

Answer 6

The page called "natural healing" on this site tells how a guy on 3 meds for depression cured it with diet. So click on that after reading this. This page "a new religion" is a fusion of religion and the new science of happiness from Positive Psychology. It has practical info you can use plus other surprises.

Also it tells why Bill Gates is getting out of the computer business.

Answer 7

When people feel alone and unloved the best thing you can do is to find someone who is in much worse shape than you and make it your goal to help them. It may be an elderly person who no one visits. Take her a rose, or a piece of cake, and visit with her for fifteen minutes. You will make her day. Ask her if she needs you to do anything for her....empty her trash, go get her groceries, go to the pharmacy for her medicine. It doesn't take much time but it means a lot to her and will help you too. Check on a neighbor who lives alone or is disabled. Run small errands for her/him. When you take your mind off yourself and focus on someone else who needs help, your depression will lift.

Answer 8

Well, its very common that when ur loved one doesn't mind u as much as u do.. Even in the most crowded place u may be feeling lonely.. Don't worry. things will be on track .. from my personal expericence. Try doing something that will take u away from such feelings. Do some hobby work or do something that really brings up ur passion. I worked that way and it really helped. Not just my mood but also my career. Good luck

Answer 9

I will go to the beach and listen to the waves. It is incrediblely soothing. If that doesn't work for you, go to the zoo and look at the animals. When I get close to animals they usually cheer me up right away. Their movements and the way they sense your presence, they are communicating with you with out words. Last but the most obvious choice is to talk to someone you like and trust. I will try to avoid crowds which will make you feel even more lonely.

Answer 10

I know that feeling, you must see a doctor and get a prescription! And meanwhile just take a relaxing bath and listen to your favourite music, then go out for a walk and have a hot chocolate. But remember to see a doctor, depression is not a joke!

Answer 11

well that is a tough one..But we've all been depressed...I would take some long walks...and just talk to strangers about what could be bothering you.....if you keep obsessing about some things you can do nothing about, maybe some medication from the doctor may help..(You should not tell people you are on meds anyway)..it is personal!!(Plus you know how some people are, they may make fun and are mean about it)) shuuuuu!!!
