What should I do about my depression?

Question

Valentine's day is in two days and I am single. The guy I have liked for two years has a new girlfriend as of yesterday and I have been so depressed the past couple of days. I can't stand the depressed feeling I get when I see him now. Valentine's day, and my two year crush having a new girlfriend is making me so depressed. What should I do?

I dont have any friends that are single, they all have boyfriends. The hard thing is, I have school and I will have to see him. We're on the same bus to go home from school, we have have assigned seats, he is assigned in the seat right in front of me. I asked my mom about letting me stay home from school that day so I wont have to see him but she wont let me.

Answer 1

Girl forget about him because he is nothing. You better get over him and move on with your life, find another man that is better than him, really. I knew this girl who had the same problem but she was in love with that boy for 5 years since 6th grade til now in her sophomore year of high school and the boy did not only hate her so much that he hit her and hug the other girls at school but i can't believe she is still in love with him. something wrong with ya people. i understand what you going through but he aint your everything.I bet sooner or later you are gonna forget about that ******* jerk! GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Valentine's day is a hard day of the year for some. Many years I have gone through Valentine's Day without a special man in my life, and it does make you feel a little bit down. A way that a couple of my girlfriends and I deal with it, is we all go out to dinner together and give each other Valentine gifts. It sounds silly, but it is a lot of fun. And remember you don't need a man to make you feel worthy. You are great without one. It will take time, but you don't need to fiind that Mr Right tomorrow. Have fun being single!!

Answer 3

Gather your girlfriends who are also single and plan a night of dinner out or movie watching or something fun that doesn't require people to be paired off like Noah's Ark.

The most important thing you can do is locate your JOY. Smiling faces always get noticed by people WAY hotter, nicer and more available than Mr. Two Years of Looking From A Distance.
That's a helluva long time to have a crush on someone and not tell them straight out that you are interested. Men can be rather dense.
You do have to tell them. Unless you did and he wasn't interested.

I really wouldn't call what you are feeling "depression". I would call it "disappointment."

Listen honey- there are 6,000,000,000 people on this planet.
Half are men. There are about 100,000 perfect matches for you out there waiting to be found. They are not in your living room, or in your refrigerator.

If you sat on a river bank for two years without a fishing pole and now you are sad that a fish didn't jump into your lap in all that time, you need to rethink your strategy for next time.

Answer 4

move on

Unless he has been trifling with you and your emotions he owes you nothing.

Personally I hate Valentine Day. I kicked out a husband on that day and I also started a bad relationship on V Day. It is a manufactured holiday.

Give her lingerie and chocolate, a double-edged sword of a gift.

White and red, purity and passion.

This guy is not for you sweetheart. Crushes are so darn painful.

Without knowing the details I can sense you hurt. It is obvious that he is just not into you.

You have a lot to offer the right guy at the right time.

You don't want a guy who does not appreciate you. And you do not want a guy who wants you to beg.

For Valentine Day go out with a friend or do something fun at home. You do not have to follow the crowd every year.

Answer 5

Make a conscious decision right NOW that you are going to put this behind you and move on with your life. Whenever you find yourself thinking of him, say to yourself forcefully: (aloud, if appropriate) " I know this trick; GO AWAY FOR A WHILE!!!" You may care to use "ruse, tactic, ploy, game, or scam" instead of "trick".Keep this up and you will reprogram yourself, in time. Avoid places, times and situations where you are likely to see him for a week or several. Keep yourself open to the possibility of a new relationship with someone else, maybe going out with friends, or joining an internet dating agency or chatsite (be careful).

Answer 6

I think that it would help if you involve yourself in some activities and try to stay busy as much as you can. In the evening read a book to take your mind off the ex. Pamper yourself hot bubble bath, candles just totally relax. Close your eyes and imagine that you are at your favorite place laughing and having a wonderful time with all your friends. I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

By meditation and prayer you can tide over shyness.

Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation

Answer 8

You dont sound depressed, just really sad. Do something fun! Go out with some friends or visit family, go to a movie, do something you've been thinking about doing, go shopping, whatever will put a smile on your face!

Answer 9

The holidays are tough especially when you stuck at home with no man. I think you need to watch "Bridget Jones' Diary" and eat a pint of fudge tracks ice cream. After you have cried and laughed you will feel much better.

Answer 10

Get out and get active. Do something with a group of other people. Volunteer. Take up exercise. Start living life and stop thinking about living it. The cure (and cause) for depression is all in your mind.
