I know this sounds silly, but actually, it is! And that's the point! In the Bible it speaks of 'leaping' or 'jumping' for joy. It really works! Try it! If you don't laugh at yourself first, your blood will get to moving and send certain chemicals through your body that can release emotions and make you feel happy even after you've stopped laughing at yourself from looking silly jumping up and down!
P.S. ...A merry heart doeth good like a medicine... Why go on something that may cost a fortune and not be good for you? Laughter is free, and healthy! I will pray for you also! Speedy recovery!

I know how you feel because I have been there as well. The best thing to do is just focus on yourself and what makes you happy. Maybe go somewhere or get online and start talking to people - make some new friends, ones that care about you.
But either way, if you focus more on yourself and making YOU happy then other things will fall into place.

I've found that if you think of yourself a certain way, people will sense that and think of you and treat you that way. For example, in some social occasion, if you feel embarrassed by something you said and show you are embarrassed, others will feel it is an embarrassing situation to you and pity you. but if you act like it's not a big deal, people won't even notice it might be embarrassing. You really need to change your attitude about yourself first. If it's too hard to do it yourself, go to see a therapist for help.

You are correct but you need to be helped to see why friends and family make you an outcast. Keep learning and find own new friend who will teach you about the secrets of greeting and social interface. Try to connect to someone who has been there don't give up try to reach out more. You will be surprised. Don't get led astray by those who just want to trick you some more.

You really need to see a professional. See a councilor or doctor quickly. I was there at one time. I grew up thinking the very thoughts you had and had no one to turn to. The thoughts were suppressed somewhat as I got older, but then it all caught up with me and I tried to committ suicide. Now I am on Zoloft, for a chemical in balance in my brain, and I never have the thoughts how people use me.
So run, don't walk to a professional. Your life could depend on it.

Sounds like you are feeling sorry for yourself! Get a back bone honey and start telling those that use you NO it's not that hard.
In the mean time you consult your feelings with your doctor he can either refere you to someone that can help you or prescribe you some anti depressants which in my opinion you don't need.
You need to adjust your personallty and stop feeling sorry for yourself and try to love yourself and appriciate yourself so others won 't run all over you.

Anger and depression go together, tho we think we are just sad. What you describe isn't right, I know how it feels. Has it always been this way for you? I mean, when you were little, were you the one having to give up toys, treats, and such? They will never give up voluntarily, or even think they are wrong. Move, refuse no matter the protest, or you'll never be completely happy. Go to mental health expert you trust. Good luck.

I have two suggestions: Medication and therapy. Those are the only two surefire ways to combat depression. I know from experience how hard it is to recover from "emotional trauma." That's why, aside from medication, a good therapist is worth his/her weight in gold. Best of luck in your journey to recovery. I've been there before and it can be done.

girl, I am going through the same thing, with my family..you have to take a stand, and speak your mind, if they dont respect your feelings, leave them alone, as tough as it may be...also i am on cymbalta, which is excellent! It really helps! I hope that they stop using you, and only coming to you when its convenient for them...sounds like you need new people in your life...domt worry this too shall pass, if you allow it to, and take a stand for yourslef, but remember, you are responsible for your own happiness, otherwise, they will continue to treat you this way...also remmeber "We teach people how to treat us" by accepting this type of behavior....best of luck to you and I hope this helps you! Hugs!

ur a chick right. every chick i've EVER met was depressed. it's the nature of 21st century women. You need to realize that another nature of people is selfishness. once you understand that thats the way people are than you should be able to adapt and live with it. otherwise you'll just stay depressed.
best way to adapt is build a relationship with Jesus.
