Answer 1

hey...listen alot of people these days are feeling depressed without a real reason of why ..they just are.. i have been there and felt the same way.....maybe you are just really stressed out and dont think that you can amount to anything right now.. do you feel tired all the time and like you dont belong and that everything you do is wrong...all the time....you just want to be left alone........well here is something a friend of mine once told me when i was going through my hard time....dont give up....its hard to deal with depression..and your going to feel like you just want out...like you want everything to stop......try and do things to take your mind off of all these depressing and bad thoughts.. they arent good for you....and another thing that always helps me when i am down is i read my bible... i dotn know if you are a religious person or not but it really helps...God has all the answers...You say you want out..you cant go on..its too much to handle....do me a favor and read 2Corinthians 12:9 and Psalms 91:15......oo and about the cutting thing...its not a good idea.....harming yourself never solves any problems.....try surrounding your self with family members and friends to take your mind off of harming your self.....hurting your self only makes things worse....i hope you feel better soon...

The first thing that came to mind when reading your post is the following: You need to learn to be okay in your own body. No man is an island, true. But it is also unhealthy to be dependent. Interdependence is what we need as healthy human beings. This means that you are comfortable in your own bones but can interact with others. The minute you are not comfortable in your own bones you become dependent and the world can play you like a puppet. How do you become comfortable with yourself? This is something that is cultivated with time, but each small step feels great and it snowballs. Alright, so a major tool is reducing your anxiety. A simple yet powerful way of doing this is by breathing well. Did you know most people don't use their breathing apparatus well? That means that they don't get enough oxygen which powers you up baby (check out the electron transport chain on wikipedia if you're into science to see what i mean). Now breathing well and paying attention to your breath grounds you. You suddenly begin feeling a sense of wellness being your own body. See, you've learnt through advertisements that you need coca cola or mercedez to feel good, and subconsciously you've learnt that you need EXTERNAL input to feel well. Well that's simply not true. Focus on INTERNAL. Good friends will come your way when you are interdependent. Finally, as you cultivate your internal strength I pray you are able to bring acceptance when things don't turn out the way you wished.

Sorry you feel depressed today. It will pass, just like all emotions though if you try some different things.
Here are some good ideas:


1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.

6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.

Answer 4

you're right, only you know how it feels to be you, which is why it is very important for you to be gentle and kind to yourself.

you were created as an individual, an important addition to this world, whether you believe it or not. you have something to contribute, just by breathing.

i don't know how it feels to be you, but i know how it feels to be me. i know how it felt when i was sad and depressed and talked myself out of ODing several times a day because i didn't want to cause pain to my parents and friends. everyday, i forced myself to do four things: smile, write down a list of positive things i saw that day, breathe fresh air, and tell myself something positive about myself. 18 months later, i don't have to force myself any more. i've made it a habit and i don't want out anymore.

i pray for you, whether you believe or not. i hope that you will be kind to yourself and ask for help when you need it.

i've been very depressed recently. i've started to see a therapist... it helps a bit, but it's a slow process. i don't want to take medication, but if you see a doctor they'll probably give you a perscription for some anti-depressants if you think that'd help. for me sometimes being around pple helps, i try and spend a lot of time with family and friends or even just in public areas like malls or parks. or even just try to do things that make you feel a little better like eating or masturbating... i wouldn't suggest drugs or alcohol though. watch movies you like, listen to good music (not depressing music, i know it's nice to listen to music that suits your mood, but we're trying to change your mood). you don't leave yourself alone with your thoughts for too long.

Answer 6

Everyone goes through this sometimes so dont be afraid to talk about your feelings with someone you trust...(I know its cheesy but it helps) Just remind yourself that everything is alright and make proactive goals that will occupy your mind and give you somthing to look forward to. If nothing helps please consider speaking with a proffessional. Things can only get better :)

Answer 7

Answer 8

Dood. I don't know why you are depressed or idk. I dunno your stitch. But Maybe you should talk to someone. Hang out with some friends (possitive ones).Or just look for a reason to laugh by looking up jokes on the net or something - you know. Basically, just look on the brighter side of things. I hope that works.

Answer 9

Go get some sunshine!
