Why am I depressed?

Question

I can't understand why the hell i am depressed. i go to school everyday in the same routine, yet i cant shake off the feeling that theres nothing for me in life. im told to live a little, but when i do, people around me mock me for being such a freak. all i usually do is dance around cause it makes me happy, so y do people tell me to sit down? i get cousoling once a week, yet all the therapists does is her own nails, so i have to sit around all days doin nothing. most of my friends exist, i think. they try to talk to me about the things i think i like, yet i still feel so isolated. im going out to the internet for help for once, which was recommended to me by once of those people who dont like my dancing. please, any suggestions?

Answer 1

Hormonal imbalance....its normal to be depressed at times.
But over time u need to firgure a way to overcome it.

Maybe you should change yourself...instead of waiting for someone to accept who you are...maybe you need to accept everyone else. It is not easy to be alone.

Stop thinking that everyone and everything is not the way u want...because thats the way it is....the only thing u can change is yourself.

Accept your friends for who they are and try to listen when they talk...when it becomes too annoying then change to a topic which you like or politely just move away from them.

Get new friends...new company that you might be comfortable with.

Start accepting things around you..and changes will come slowly the way u see things.

I would be depressed to if someone wouldn't let me do the one thing that I enjoy doing!
Maybe it's not so much that they don't want you dancing, but maybe it's a problem of when and where you are dancing. Are you dancing in the middle of the living room when your mom is watching Oprah? Maybe your room is big enough to dance in, or if your bedroom is upstairs, it might annoy the people downstairs. Maybe you have a basement to dance in?
But If I were you, if there is some club that you can go to on the weekends, I would make sure I was there if I enjoyed dancing that much. It will help you wear off some of your extra energy. You might meet other people that enjoy dancing as much as you do. Hang out with them, instead of the people who call you a freak.
and if your therapist only does her nails, I would seek out a new therapist.

Answer 3

You are perfectly normal.

Try to take those difficulties/challenges in life and view them as an opportunity. change you outlook, from a different perspective.

Maybe you trying to change too much. For who? When you were young you were happy at one time or another, maybe it is not change that you need, maybe you need to observe yourself. "Change" back to how you felt like a kid.

Our experiences in life can sometimes be hard to accept and hard to move on. Keep those lessons close to heart, but don't let them dig you a hole around you.


If a person never questions himself and tries to improve oneself like what you are doing by asking this question, then we are moving backwards. No? Actually I see people who go to clubs and drinks to be heavily depressed and insecure with themselves.


I will tell you two points in life which my father taught me.

A. everyone has a good quality in them, learn this quality and ignore their flaws

B. everything good in life doesn't come easy (you will not change in one day, it may take time, but reward doesn't usually come right after a chore)


Learn that everyone has a different agenda, a different thinking. Accept them, unless it is weird like pedophile, discriminatory, basic humanity issues.


My grandma says, when a frog lives in a well, he thinks he knows the world. Well, don't allow others to put you inside this well, Go out, volunteer for a cause you feel strongly about.

Go see second world countries and how the people strive to be happy with very little. Climb a mountain, take a vacation. Do something which you accomplish by yourself, at least give it a try.

Nothing good comes easy sir.

Dude,

Clearly you are going through some very tough times in your life and from what i can deduct from your statement, you seem like a very sad person. It feels to me like you have an outward manifestation of sexual oppression.

Do you feel like others are different then you in their ways of talking and "hanging out"?

Do you feel left out of the popular circles?

Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

The first thing you need to do is get some good food in your system, it's amazing what a double double from In and Out burger can do to a man! Second, I would try to get laid... what i mean is go have sex with someone, ANYONE. make sure you use protection (gas mask and such if it's with a bum)

Go shopping and buy cool clothes and get some new freinds, maybe expirement with drugs, i have met many people that have come to revelations through the use of drugs! Just because it's illegal doen't make it bad! Try acid or shrooms, that might t just be your thing!

Good luck and may god and his bed buddies be with you!!

P.S.: if you get rich, get you loan me a couple grand, i need more shrooms....

Answer 5

sometimes breaking out of your routine can do the trick. i know because i was in the same situatuation you're in... and this isnt a thing you can just face. you have open yourself up, and really get to know yourself. i've felt that whole isolated thing for the longest time... and i still have times when i'm with my friends and i have a random moment where i just want to get away because i feel like i dont belong. but i'm working on it... if you want some other tips just send me a message. take care.

Answer 6

Get a different therapist who will evaluate you for clinical (chronic) depression instead of situational (finding out something bad that happened).
