My life has been pretty on track until 3 months ago. Now i dont give a damn about the things that were important to me back then, im flunking in most of my classes, i broke up with my bf and im seeing someone who i dont even know if i love him, my family relations are not good at all, im fighting with my friends, getting late to work and smoking and has lost interested in church. Most of the time i feel very unhappy with my life and with me. Thinking about the person i am now makes me down and makes me want to cry, its a deep feeling of unhappiness . I want to get my old life back and get right on track cause im graduating from my bach on may and now im way behind. Everything seems so difficult , help?

Without a doubt you are suffering from depression. Sounds like it has brought on a friend called anger. Depression can be a huge package.
I am a long time sufferer of long-term depression. I have currently fighting it for good!
I have been put on many medication etc throughout my last 10 years. This time I have taken a different approach.
first let me say that you may want to talk to a counselor or psychiatrist. They could put you on a medication as you go through the healing process.
I personally dumped my meds because the side effects were as bad or not worse than my actual symptoms. (NOT ALL MEDS). Just be sure and research them if you try.
I am reading a book right now and trust me I have read many!
I've never been a Dr. Phil fan, in fact I always thought he was over-board.
This book is really really truly helping me.
It's called self-matters.
It's all about you and getting rid of the weight of the world.
In my case I am just shocked at what I have learned about myself already.
Ok, I sound like a babbling idiot but the bottom line is, yes, you are suffering and with good reason.
Try either, try both, or try neither. It's your choice.
I think the one thing that stood out to me more than anything as I slowly travel down this road of healing, in this book was the phrase, "I want to be the star of My life"
Honey, depression will take control of you before you have a clue it's ruling you.
Read though my blog. I should be a poster child for depression but after YEARS wasted. It's my turn. take your turn NOW!
Email me if you need a friend. A true non-judge-mental friend.

You sound stressed and of course stress leads to depression. You don't seem to like yourself much anymore. Are you overwhelmed with something - maybe your job or running the household? Get help before things get out of hand. You are already doing some self-destructing things.
Take sometime off from work if you are working and just relax. You need a break, maybe go on holiday. Just grab whatever assistnce you can get.

Depression and anxiety are downward spirals. They feed on one another and grow faster like a whirlpool. You are caught in one of these and you need help to get out. Get in to see a qualified counselor you can trust immediately and start making a plan to support yourself with good advice and perhaps some medication. I did and I feel 100% better. You will too!

Welcome to real life. This is the way life is for most people, most people hate their jobs, hate their spouses, and don't really care about life that much in general. My advice is to find a life in VR or in some fantasy world cause real life just gets worse and worse as time goes on. Also counseling doesn't work so don't try that their just there to waste your time.

Hi, I might be able to help you. From what you asked, it sounds like your life is extremly clustered and not organized. You need to figure out what you want to be doing, then you should get yourself back onto your feet, and take it one step at a time. I have been told my health teachers and doctors, "Take Baby Steps."

please check out depressionhurts.com they have a assessment test, if you fail the chances are you may be depressed. Remember stress can also seem like depression.
