I have so much stress in my life that sometimes its bearable but sometimes i just cry and i cant stop. Some days i feel like i can do it and some days i feel i like i want to run away for awhile. Some days i feel like i just want to be my myself... better off not loading others with my drama. I try hard to live my life: go to school to graduate and do better, be better at my job.. but somehow i feel like i cant anymore that i lack strength to keep going. Sometimes i feel that i have everything i need in life, enough to survive and be happy but i am not happy. I have the car i always wanted, i am cleaning my debt, i have a great family that loves me, i have a great job that prefers to give me a raise than to let me go... i have best friends.. why? why do i feel this way? I just want to be happy.

I don't know what makes people feel that way, but I feel the same way most of the time. In high school my English teacher, Bob, told me I was to emotional and it was standing in my way of school, relationships and life. He suggested to take B-complex vitamins. After I started to take those vitamins and write at least weekly in my journal I started to feel better. Now people can tell when I forget my vitamins or didn't write in my book. I really hope hearing this helps you as much as it has helped me. It a shame that great people feel this way and the scums always feel great. Get well soon.

I know what your feeling. Going to your family doctor could make the world of difference for you. It did for me! Our hormones are little creatures that can cause a lot of unneeded grief. When I went in too see my doctor she would just look at me or say how are you, and I'd start to cry. I was like this for a long time and just hated it. My doctor said you have a chemical in balance. She started me on Effexor and my life has changed so much. No more stress, anxiety, or hopeless feelings. Every day when I get up I'm so ready to tackle anything in life. I've been taking courses and receiving excellent grades,which before I'd just want to give up. My outlook now is positive and happy go lucky! Look into this and I hope it will be some help to you.

The key to diagnosing depression is asking yourself, "Is this interfering with my daily activities?" In other words, do you stay in bed for days at a time or even call off work because of these feelings you're having? Are you avoiding the things you used to love doing? If so, these are symptoms of depression.
Everyone is different, of course, so it's best to talk to your doctor about these feelings you've been having. My advice is to make an appointment with a psychotherapist or councelor. Sometimes all you need is to get your feelings out on the table and sort them out from there. Talking to friends and family can be more complicated than it's worth (been there!) so that's why I recommend talking to a councelor at least once to to see if it can be beneficial.
From my experience, I would try to avoid going on any medication if you can help it. Antidepressants tend to be overprescribed by doctors and they sometimes cause a whole slew of problems all their own.
I say your first step should be getting in touch with a councelor in your area. That could mean a psychotherapist, a clinical psychologist, a licenced clinical social worker, or a psychiatrist--any of these options is better than nothing :)
Hope you feel better soon!
