I feel like I'm not worthy of enjoying anything or having fun or basically living life. I'm not suicidal, but I feel like there's something "wrong" with me, like I'm missing something. I just feel so like worthless, like I should just stop trying. It sucks feeling this way. I pray all the time & I try to be as optimistic as possible, but then it's like...its always the same thing - it's like I'm going in circles and there's nothing I can do - no matter how hard I try, nothing good is going to happen to me. I know I sound ridiculous, but this is how I feel right now.
What can I do to help myself? I just feel so hopeless.
[[PLEASE don't be mean, & I'm not not fishing for compliments either.]]

I kinda feel that way too...like theres something u need to do but can't figure it out and everything is a waste of time. Just have some times to yourself...and focus on your goals and try and gret motivated. Maybe join a gym or class you would like.

It sounds like you are just experiencing life. Not everyday is going to be butterflies and rainbows. I am not trying to be mean, but you are still a teenager and maybe you are experiencing hormonal changes or maybe you do have depression. Depression is nothing to joke about and their are many options to help with the symptoms. I know you said you don't think you are depressed, but you sound like you are. You need to see a doctor so they can diagnose whether you are or aren't and the situation can be addressed. Good luck!

I'm sorry you're feeling this way...I've felt like that many times, myself. Come to find out, about five years ago, that I have mild to moderate depression. I take Zoloft for it. I'm not saying you have depression permanently, but it really sounds like you may be at least having a bout of it right now. I'm with the others, who said go to your doctor and talk to him/her about this. That's how I first was diagnosed, and then later on I began going to a therapist, b/c for me, depression is a combination of a chemical imbalance (which you may possibly have) and events that happened in my past. You may not have to go a therapist; medication may be the ticket for you. But please, try not to feel stupid or crazy for getting help. It's easy to let yourself think that you are "mental" for having these problems...but you're not. You're just human. Also, if you can start attending church somewhere, that may really help too. I hope things get better for ya...God bless. :)

Your age probably has something to do with it. I wouldn't go back to being a teenager for any money in the world. It sucks. The good news is that it gets better. There's nothing that you can do but mature. Other than getting older, you can try getting involved in a charity. Help others, and you will stop thinking about yourself so much.

Actually i believe there are many ppl who feel the same.. sometime i feel it too.. therez nothing wrong with.. it jus feels like nothin in happening in life and its jus not moving.. maybe all u need to do is something new.. something that really interests u.. for eg if u have interst in music why not join music classes and learn it.. or somthing similar or instead the other option would be like doing something new that u've neva done before.. hope that helps

Sounds like your having a bout of depression. I too have experienced those feelings. I now take Cembalta. It has helped me so much. It just takes the edge off of things. I suggest you go meet with your doctor and explain how you feel. I think it takes a smart person to stand up and say, I need help.

you may be have depression, or it may be that you are either bored with your career, relationship, if you are in one, or are just in a rut. think if there is anything you really want to do and try it. everybody is worth something, and has some good in them, so don't give up. i had a rut where i thought, okay i'm 32, getting divorced, gone as far as i can in my career, now what....is that it? is that all there is to life? i moved back to my home state, wound up meeting someone new, got married and have kids, and have a new career that is less stressful and more financially stable. noone said it will be easy, nothing is, but just hang in there and lean on family and friends when you need to. good luck!

You said the key word in your question. You said you pray. I am in that position now. keep on praying. The God we serve will come through for you. There are seasons in a person life that God will say yes, no and wait. You have plenty of time left on this earth to do what He want you too. Take your time. Don't let medicine do what you know only God can. Love you. Keep your prayer line open.

Think of the things that do make you happy and do those more often! Talk to someone... grab a cup of coffee with a friend and talk until the sun goes down.
Go for a walk- you will be amazed at what a little exercise does for the mind.
It WILL get better =)
