Answer 2

I really don't think that there is a way to beat depression and remain happy always. I don't really think i have meant someone that has always been happy. a lot of people feel lonely, and depressed at times., some feel that way all the time. You say you just feel that way some of the time. If you have a family or not you can be lonely, there are times when you just feel they don't really understand you , or that you can talk to them about what is happening, or you don't want to worry them. You need to learn to relax and try not to let everything get you down, or get you going, stress is a lot of the depression. It wears you down, and then you just start to feel like you can't do anything, cause you are too tired, or been too busy, and that stresses you out more. So here we have a cylce. So you need to take some stress management, and remember, it is going to be really hard to be happy all of the time. Everyone has their ups and downs, that is a part of life. No matter how hard you try to stay away from stress, it is there, and it will be waiting for you, so you need to learn some coping skill for the stress in your life. You need to take the time to relax and enjoy the family , and go do things, and just take a breather. That can help a lot. So take some classes, and remember, no one is happy all the time, might be a nice thought, but not true. So enjoy you family these hoildays, and have some fun.......

The significant part of your lonely and despairing statement is the fact that you want to beat your depression and have happiness in your life. I take very seriously the depth of your depressed feelings. I am also very happy about your courage and motivation to deal with it.

There are ways to overcome your despair.

First, be sure that your depression has not been brought on by physical disease. You should have a complete physical by a competent and thorough doctor. He should check out your thyroid function. He should look at your red blood count and check you for anemia. And he should check you for diabetes.

Secondly, if these and other tests are normal, then he or someone else should refer you to a psychiatrist, who is not only well trained as a medical doctor but who also is willing to do "talking therapy" with you or has someone who will. Other possibilities are to see, a clinical psychologist, a social worker
with training in psychotherapy, or a pastoral psychotherapist who has expertise in treating mood disorders. Any of these practitioners can assess your depression and begin to treat it.

Thirdly, if you are suffering from clinical depression, it does not mean you are mentally ill but have a problem in the mood centers of the brain. Then one of the newer antidepressants, such as lexapro, may be of help in bringing the depression under control, often within a month or so. Some psychotherapy will also help you with your personal relationships and with taking the steps toward greater happiness in your life.

Answer 4

Feeling lonely and depressed at times is normal. How to beat it? The thing about emotions and being human is we experience all of it. The good and the bad. Understand the reason for the depression and then detact from it and move on to the next emotion. If your in a winter type climate........lighten up the home a bit more and listen to happy music. Get involved with your hobbies.......don't have one? Start one :-) If you have been very social.......take time out to be by yourself and enjoy yourself. If you have been inside a lot........go outside and enjoy nature. Turn off anything connected with the media until you feel better :-)

Answer 5

Male depression is different from female depression. It can last for many years at a time, and be a more or less constant seasoning to our lives. Exercise, sunlight, affirmations, goals, balanced diet, rest and exercise all help. And get in touch with what is keeping your isolated from your family, and change the pattern. Best of luck.

Answer 6

do an internet we search on "depression" read several sites, some have more info than others ie: some sites list more indepth symptoms.

then reflect on things might that trigger your episodes. anything it might be. a spending spree? a guilt feeling, a sexual affair desire" morbit thoughts. etc include them in your key words, when using an internet search. trigges like i listed are indicators of being bipolar and maybe being remorseful of such thoughts/actions.

it much to much more complex to answer your questions. i've been there. turns out for me i am bipolar and didnt know it.


in short, you must realize yourself/ your makeup first in order to get on the path to recovery. learn every thing there is to know about depression. when you visit some sites and read them, you will see yourself, if its just trigges, avoid them at all means. if you can, if not get professional help to guide you through

Answer 7

You should try and do things to make you happy like.........
Exercise, doing something nice for yourself or someone else, hanging out with friends to help you feel not so lonely, meditation, and most of all.....RELAXING.
Or just do something that you find enjoyable (which doesn't harm you or any other people).
Hope this helps, but if you are really concerned about this then you should go see your local GP and they might beable to help more.

Answer 8

We don't ALWAYS feel happy, but there are a variety of things that we can do to fight off the blues. Exercise, getting out and volunteering, associating with other people (offline), making new friends, visiting old friends, and taking in some sun are a few.

Answer 9

just remembered that its only a phase in your life. If you think its really serious seek help.We all suffer from depression in our life. Just think that there are people out there suffering from the same thing as you are. It would help you if you could talk to some people that have the same problems as you too..therapy....Theres people out there that even though they dont show it they care about u, and think you're part of their life. I always say..if im in this world is because i'm something or going to be something in someones life..also dont take stuff to serious enjoy,laugh..have fun..exercise..and remember your ONE WORLD..nobody is like u thats what makes you be you and special...talk talk dont care too much! and enjoy life....

Answer 10

You can never be happy...you need to know sadness to appreciate times when you are happy.

if you are a teenager, it is normal. Just realize all bad things end/must end. As you grow older (by the time you are 30+) you will come to have fewer ups/downs (actually life become pretty boring).

Answer 11

i know this may sound blunt, but you could have it a lot worse, feeling lonley isn't a problem its a feeling, and feelings can go away in a flash, not having food and water isn't, just be happy with what you have, you have it for a reason and you most likely have to live with it.....its life... and you should be glad your alive
