Is anyone depressed?? My life is just one freakin routine.?

Question

im 22, still living at home, i dont have a car, and all i do is go to work. this is something thatis really depressing me because i still have to depend on someone. i should be independent, dont ya think?? i don't really have friends. recently broke up with my long term boyfriend of 4 yrs,(which by the way was my fault). started seeing( sleeping) with this 37 yr old man and just broke things with him. he thought i looked/ acted too young and we weren't going anywhere.this is also depressing me..this all happened in the matter of one month (last month). i feel so unwanted by everybody. i don't know what to do with myself. i can't be alone. is anyone going through a similar situation? i would like to talk to someone that is willing to listen..thanks

Answer 1

the thing is you are not unwated by everybody, just the guys you've dated. try having some new girlfriends and their activites could bring a change in your own routine. take up a passion of yours (something you always wanted to do as a lil girl) this should open new doors for you and your routine should change as a result and the new people yo meet should be a cure for your depression

Hey Kiki,
Sorry you are going through this situation. This may sound like crazy advice but if I were you I would join a local gym. Get into working out and feeling good about yourself and build up your self-esteem. You can also meet people there and make friends. It also helps with stress. You need to analyze your overall situation and think about what is making you unhappy. Look for quality friends and relationships. Consider getting your own place as it will empower you. Try to improve your job by training or going back to school. You are so young and have your whole life ahead of you. Keep your chin up and realize that you can fix this with a few life changes. Good luck.

Answer 3

I'm going through the same thing. I realized that I'm just dissatisfied with myself and I'm staying single for a while so I can figure my own stuff out. I mean first of all I beat myself up for being in my 20s and not really having direction in my life. But you know what? It's normal. We go through this stuff figuring ourselves out and it builds our character. Life is painful but never give up hope and things get better.

Exercise is good too. It will help you feel better. I started exercising and it has greatly improved how I feel about myself and how I relate to other people.

It increases endorphins and that helps combat depression. It is harder to feel sad when those endorphins are going. :)

Hang in there girl. You are not unwanted. Look in the mirror and love the wonderful person that you are.

Answer 4

Use the time you have to your advantage... and defeat depression at the same time.. I know since I was through it myself. Depression comes from an astrangement from your own Self... it's a spiritual problem.

Do this as a test. Lean some Yoga and do it for a while. If it helps you feel better, get into it more.

This online resource will explain the deeper aspects of this kind of personal growth. I am not talking religion here...

Answer 5

Im depressed also. Your not alone. I mean tonight I sat at home on Halloween and watched TV. You may want to try and join a club or start exercising. It really does make you feel better if you can start going consistently.

A pet will also help. If it wasnt for my dog I would prolly be dead.

Also you could try a dating site like match.com or something to find someone.

Answer 6

I completely understand. I'm 27 and I still live at home and some of the time I felt like a loser. What I do is that I started going to church and in there I found friends and people who care about me and for me to care for.

Try to search within yourself to see what to do with your life. Maybe you need to look to a higher place.

Don't worry, many adults still live with their parents because of financial issues.

Answer 10

i have depression. i am thirteen and was told by a phsycologyst that i was depressed. i have been taking medication for a while. This all was told to me after i started cutting myself.
i have scars on my arms and legs.
My teacher first found out.
she took me into her office and said "i want u to show me your arms."
i could have shat myself right there and then.
right now i am getting counselling at school.
I think that you should see a counsellor to help you get yourself together.
