I'm really depressed, about everything! I can't help it, I cry everyday and it only gets worse!! Inside my heart is breaking and breaking! It's not my family, it's me! I can't stand myself, I can't live with myself! I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror! Lately I don't care what I look like!! I've just about given up on myself!! I put on a smile when my family is near, but it's fake!! Now I'm starting to cut my legs because it calms me down, I know I need to stop, but my depression takes over and I keep going! I can't sleep because I worry. My family pictures me as being happy, but I'm not. It's me, everything's wrong about me, inside and out sucks. I don't have the motivation to get a job and I need to get one, but people won't stand me! I'm not a people person, I can't talk to people normally, I get tongue tied, my mind goes blank and I just keep quiet. Now people are bugging me to talk, I have nothing to say, because what is there to say, nothing, that's what I am, nothing.

Please dont give up you are worth it to alot of people. You have found some right here. We dont think you are lazy or wrong and were more then ok with you not having a job right now. It seems to me like you can type to people normally without getting tongue tied and thats alot. These people bugging you to talk just want to help the false front put up can be very hard for other people to over come. People want to help if we can its in our nature but when a false front is put up it says they cant help. So I suggest you put down your false front when ever you can even if it hurts alot. I couldnt put down my false front untill I was able to trust others and I couldnt trust others untill I trusted myself. So maybe a good goal for you now is to do things that build trust in yourself and realize the things your already doing that should be building trust in you. I find that when I was relapsing being able to brush my teeth was a trust builder believe that or not. I love you and wish you the best luck with what ever you do. Its ok to cry even alot. You are the world to me and I dont even know you very well. If you dont believe that maybe consider the fact that I took all this time to type to you as a gift in hopes that you'll learn from it and become a better person because I have faith that you will. As long as you exist you are never nothing and dont let anyone ever tell you that you dont exist and believe it.

You sound like a very close friend of mine. I talk to her alot and she has so many problems inside her family I can understand why she fakes it around them also, I can't stand mine they would only judge me even more than they already do. I wish you could realize your worth. It's so hard to get out of such a deep cycle you are in. I use to be the same way. I felt like I had no worth and I didn't talk to people-but I got older and Now I don't give a damn what anybody thinks. I have the time of my life every chance I can. There is something out there you can do. You may want to seek professional help first -then push yourself to the local college and get involved in something that will put you out there with other people. I swear- I didn't want to go out- I didn't talk- I was a zombie, but now I'm a different person. Volunteer somewhere-get involved with people that are worse off than you and need a real friend.

Everyone at some point and time in their life needs help. It sounds like at this time you need help. If you are cutting on yourself and being self-destructive like that you need professional help.
There are medications to help you lift out of the depression your experiencing. You don't have to worry about being able to talk like anything to talk to a counselor about your state of mental health. The best part about using a professional is that unlike talking to a friend or family member the counselor is legally bound to keep your information private and confidential.
You know everyone experiences overwhelming feelings. The only difference between people who are abnormal and normal is how they react and deal with those feelings when they have them.
Get better soon hon.

You are only what you believe you are. If you tell yourself that you are depressed then in the end, all you will feel like is depressed. It's all mind-power. There are many moments in life where you will feel nothingness and that life is useless. But life is all about the pursuit of happiness.
Do something that will make you feel better about yourself. Donate to charity or go for a jog. People play sport because it makes them feel good about themselves that they are looking after their body. What makes you feel good about yourself? Don't say nothing because there is no such thing.
In then end it's all what you tell yourself. Just keep repeating "I am happy" in your head, but actually believe it and you might do yourself some good.
If all else fails talk to somebody about what runs through your mind. Without communication in life, everyone would be diagnosed mentally insane :).

I am not an expert on giving advises on these things but I think if you tried to calm yourself down and tried some meditation, it would be a good start. Think positively and make yourself believe that you have come to this world to do something. Face the world because by hiding yourself, it won't go away. FACE IT MAN !!

You sound very depressed and you need help to get through this awful patch, especially if you're now cutting yourself.
Step one is to go to your doctor and tell him honestly how you are feeling. He may well refer you to a psychiatrist who can evaluate you properly and organise some counselling. He may also prescribe anti depressants.
I think you should insist, in fact, that your doctor does refer you; you can get through these problems but you need a bit of help, as we all do at times.
Don't carry on suffering; call your doctor TODAY and take the first step to feeling much much better!

Aww bless you hunny! all you need to do is focus on the good things in your life for example your friends or what you like about yourself? maybe you have a talent such as paintin? Don't fake a smile in front of your family.. let them know how you ffeel and youll be surprised how much they can actually help you. As for cutting your legs - dont - it's not going to help you and later on in life you will regret it. If you don't want to talk to people then don't but try and they will love you for it! xxx Good luck sweetie! xx

Leah, You need help immediately. Get to a mental health clinic or have your doctor refer you to a therapist . Tell your family how you are feeling. There is no reason to scar your body like that. You just need to feel better about yourself. Therapy will teach you how to get along with other people and how to feel good about yourself. Please do this right away. Your family loves and needs you.
I felt like that at one time. It really helped me.

You need to talk to some one immediatly. Be it you priest, social worker, or a pshychiatrist. But you have to get help asap.
