Answer 1

You have pretty serious depression. I denied mine for years and had to go see a doctor after years of depression. I went last week as I was close to just having a nervous breakdown. I am now using anti-depressants, and they are beginning to work. Some people actually have a deficiency of the good chemicals in the brain that make you happy (serotonin). Anti-depressants gradually bring those chemicals into the proper balance.

I am not saying that is the case for you. Who knows? But you have to go in and see a professional who can diagnose what you need. It may be counseling or anti-depressants, or both. When you get yourself help and get rid of the negative feelings, everything else will begin to seem more manageable.

Please just go in and see a doctor. Be honest about your feelings and everything and they will help you. Don't wait as long as I did to reach out and ask for help.

Good luck!

I think you are in a severe depression! Stop and take a step back. If your best friend told you how they felt and described what you've written,what would you say?
How long has this feeling been with you? Is it getting worse over time? Get help! Parent, co-worker, clergy, friend, or call your nearest hospital. Don't let this persist in making you more negative and less energized.
No, you will never be who you used to be, but experience and learning should help you be better today than you were a year ago. Or at least put you on a path that makes you want more for yourself. I wish you the strength to make a change and be better!

The word itself almost has a negative connotation. Denial is a very common way of avoiding accepting responsibility for obvious personal wrong doing. I think it is often used with it's sister, "Justification." Both words can be used in a very positive light, but more often I see the them used to describe a failure to be open to personal growth. A positive thing would be to "deny" your baser urges, and not "justify" yourself when you slip up. Admit it, and quit it if it is harmful to yourself or others. Tee hee! Dr. Zapp has a kilt on. I read it last night, so it has to be true!

Answer 4

I think you need a new start, if you dont like the people or the places around you perhaps its time for drastic and exciting changes. New city, new job, perhaps take up a class in doing something completely different but challenging. If you can afford it take a group trip with people your age, change your hair style, change your wardrobe, be daring what have you got to loose, take a deep breath and "make a change".

Answer 5

Sounds like depression to me. Get help, or make a big change in your life or routine. Maybe get a hobby and definitely start exercising if you can. Find support online if you want http://www.dailystrength.org
