Question

Answer 1

This is in my field of expertise.

What to do:
1. Exercise every day.
2. Always keep your mind clear of random thoughts.

What not to do:
1. Do not see a psychologist. All they do is take your money,
hear your personal secrets, and give you politically-biased advice.
Psychologists do not want you to know that.
2. If you intend to take an anti-depressant drug, then DO NOT take
an SSRI. SSRIs cause people with innately low serotonin (due to
certain serotonin-related genes) to have a drasticly and permanently
reduced capacity for physical sexual pleasure, a condition that is
called 'Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction'.

Answer 2

Depression can really have a devastating effect on your thoughts, but fortunately there are things you can do. First, see a doctor and get an evaluation; if medicine is prescribed give it a try, it can work wonders in only a few weeks. Also, go on a "mental diet", meaning avoid all negative and painful thoughts with all your strength. Especially avoid like the plague any resentful thoughts or thoughts of revenge, they only make your condition worse. Also, stay active, even if you just take a 30 minute walk each day, it can help a lot.
Best wishes for your rapid recovery...hang in there, this will pass sooner than you think!

Hey I know exactly what your going through. I move round so much its really hard to fit in at each new school, but you know what, its not them, its you, you have got to get some confidence and jump into the conversations. If those people were mentioning people in the other class and rankings and things you should have said 'Oh yeah and how about . . . . .. .' and just spark up a conversation about the common subject. Its hard at first but it gets easier trust me, and I know how depressing it can be, you basically feel like no one is there for you, noticing you, you feel very trapped inside yourself. Bring the confidence you have on the stage to the schoolyard if you get me. It wont be easy. Try talking to shy people at first and see what they are all about, then you might find its easier to join in conversation. hope this helps ok good luck xx

Answer 4

we are never alone. even if you were in the middle of a desert thousands of miles from the physical presence of another person. at sometime in our lives we've all sat and listened to a special person tell us about their troubles and then offered advise. most of the time the advise given is good, it doesn't matter weather or not it's the rite advise cos there is no rite or wrong. if it is loneliness that troubles you what would you tell a friend if they were to come to you with the same problem. talk to yourselves as if you were that Friend then give yourselves the same advise. inside are all the answers. but 1 thing be brave
look for good things and always smile , it's only the movement of mussels in the face but when done for along time it can change your world
oh an colour lots and lots of colour be bright
I wish you happiness.

Answer 5

I would recommend learning how to love yourself above all. How can you expect anyone to value you and appreciate you if you don't find what your great at? Prepare yourself to go down deeper in depression while exploring who you are. This is like when Luke Sky-walker was training with Yoda ... and had to go into that tree to face his fears. After Luke faced his fears, he was able to continue his mission!!!

Once you're able to face yourself truly for who you are then you can make a goal list (type of man, physical traits, qualities, spirituality) and get him. Usually you have to take a look at who you are to make the mental match. Say your a vegan ... well, will you pair well with a man who lives off of steak and potatoes? (U're call, not mine). How do you imagine the relationship: both work, time shared, and activities you'll do together.

After brain storming, build a foundation of friends (girls & boy) and explore what's out there. Don't let mis-matches set you back ... but rather be joyful they were recognized before you gave your heart away.

Answer 6

I have suffered from depression for many years but I always try to look at the positive things in my life and not dwell on the bad. There are many anti-depressants available to treat depression. The main thing is to keep active cos if you dont you will have too much time to think about things and negative thoughts are not good. You should join a club or meet friends and try and get yourself into social situations. Go and treat yourself to something special - you deserve it.

Answer 7

I'm single too, but rather than let it upset me I embrace it! I have a fab time with my girly mates, and can flirt with guys without having to worry about anyone being jealous.

You don't have to measure your self worth by what other people think of you. You have to remember that you are a great person as an individual and don't need to have a man by your side as some form of 'validation'.

Do you have any close friends or family you could talk to? I find having a good moan to my mum usually makes me feel better.

Answer 8

Well something must be making you like it so what you do is
go see your GP tell her or him how you are feeling
you may get something to help with how you are feeling
if you do get tablets they wouldn't start helping for 2 /4 weeks
once you have been there set your self some goals
1,what you want to do with your spare time
at the moment you may feel you want the world to go away but once you get help for your problem life will feel a whole lot better
2,treat your self to something a new hair style
something new
if you ever want a chat please E mail me i will chat to you
take care
Respect

Answer 9

See a Dr. and get some tests run to see if the problem is physical eg. low lithium?
If that is not the cause then check out the singles clubs and any groups that may be of interest to you. Art class, food club. animal shelter volunteer. Start thinking about others and you will meet others.

Answer 10

it's a tricky situation......as it depends on a lot of factors like ur age, status (u said ur single but if ur a single mum then u can't go out much etc) anyway, what i'd try is get out as much as possible, go 4 walks, london parks etc , treat urself, teach urself something, try getting fitter, most of all talk to ur doctor, go 4 counselling or even try learning something new like take up a music instrument, volunteer at the theatre/ be active. just take ur mind off these feelings and they'll disappear.
