I have been in a low mood, and I have tried to find ways of helping myself. Ever since I was twelve I had an eating disorder. My weight fluctuates and I never feel happy with it. I have been feeling so horribly for feeling sad. I also feel what is technically known as existential despair, considering the ambiguties in life--and I maybe I do read to much--which is the reason my parents consider me to have my...abstract thinking processes. I always hear how it is your fault for not taking control of your life and not being positive, but nothing is enjoyable to me anymore. I feel I have caused this, and I feel so guilty. I don't want to sound like some sympathy plea. I disgust myself with my dependency on others, especially older men. I'm sixteen. Maybe it's because I feel no relation to boys my age. I want to talk to someone about their opinions on philosophical/historical figures, literature, morality.This is why I think I feel an affinity for some teachers, I feel guilt for my sadness.

Hello friend !
Now you have some one to talk.
You have passed the first step in getting over the situation. by accepting it.
Now you have to move ahead because there are lots of better things in this world you have read, which you have to share with other people- agreed.
acquiring knowledge is one of the ways of creating fear due to the fact that it has been accepted by you as you read the written topics of some person. but remember that they all need not be correct, it may be only their views.(philosophical/historical figures, literature, morality.)
What I suggest is that Kindly try to help others with the knowledge you have collected

When I need to pull myself out of a slump, which is what you're in I start to experience different things, even when I don't want to I just make myself. Reading can be a good thing but if that's all you do then you're wasting your life behind a book. You seem to be very inteligent. Are you a gunies? Anyway, ask your doc about anti anxiety or anti depression drugs and if they're right for you.

We choose to create our mood every moment, according to our thinking and by what we think about ourselves and our life.
When we feel thankful for all that we have received from life there is no way we can not feel joyful. The quickest mood uplifter is to think of people who don't even have what we do and yet do not acknowledge or celebrate it.

low and guilt are negative states of mind, why would you wish to have a negative state of mind when you can have a positive state?
I'm just telling you some logic, but seriously meditation helped me, and consolation of Philosophy by Boethius helped, I won't say anymore.
