Please see a doctor asap. You are depressed, and need medication. You are not alone in these feelings. Please get some help for yourself. Many people suffer with depression. Medicine can help you & bring you back to feeling more positive about life. Do this for yourself first & also for those who care for you. Nothing bad lasts forever. You just need a little help this time.

I have someone that I talk to when I don' t like myself very much. I don't know how old you are but you need to talk to someone in the medical field whether it be a councilor or a physician. From everything that I have read the main symptoms of depression are crying and sleeping. The person that I talk to said that sometimes St. Johns Wort helps mild cases. But more serious cases possibly will need something a little stronger like an antidepressant. You really need to talk to someone about your feelings of sadness and wishing you were dead.
I went through a social depression when I was in High school and thought that being dead would be the best thing for me. Then time went by and things just didn't seem so bad anymore. Looking back I was glad that I didn't act on my feelings. I would have missed so much, everything that is good in my life now wouldn't have been....it's scary to think back on that time.
Good luck to you.

I felt like that when I was in high school, I remember when it first started though, which was way back in the days probably when I was 7 years old. I went through my days thinking that everyday was gonna get better, and for a long time it didnt. I used to question my existance on this earth. Why am I here?? But you know what I surrounded myself with good people. I tried to do my best at whatever I do. I now find myself in a better place. I have more confidence. I want to say to you, hang in there. It sounds cliche but its true. I think that no matter how bad it is for you, there is someone out there who has it worse than you. It works the other way too. Some people think they are the best, but there is always someone better. Take care of yourself and love yourself (not to the extent where you think your a god) but love yourself, because nobody will love you, if you dont love yourself. Resorting to taking Prozac is a last resort. When you take drugs (no matter how small) it affects you for the rest of your life. It could affect your body for the rest of you life. Take Care!

Hey :) just so I dont come across as some pushy jerk Ill explain me a bit. Im a 20yr old psychology major. Just always been interested in it since I was introduced in my junior year of high school. Im also a very caring person, who cant seem to just let anything go.

I recently made friends with a very troubled girl. We lived across the country from each other but she has my phone number. We text call and write each other. She tried committing suicide and was caught in time. Since then she has realized even more that she is miserable and wants to get better.

Sometimes in situations you feel you dont have people to talk to about your sadness. And in some cases that is true because most dont know how to handle the information you are giving out. But it does sound like you have some form of depression.

Its very serious and I completely understand you feeling miserable. Honestly hun you need to get some kind of serious help. A counselor, maybe some medication to help with your moods, until you find happiness in life.

Im sure you deserve better than what you feel right now.

Just know that you can talk to me if you need anything.

This is a problem usually caused by low self esteem and by long working hours. But Your problem draws its origins from early childhood, you seem to be an insecurely avoidant attached individual, which means that your relationship with your primary caregiver wasn't the best one possible, you may have developed the feeling of hate towards your caregiver and this hate transcended into your adult life as hate towards yourself. This is very common nowadays and you aren't the only one suffering from this condition. One possible solution is to think about your childhood and analyse what things made you feel hate in the first place, then try and reconcile with those things, otherwise try and draw satisfaction from helping others feel good about themselves, chanel that feeling of good will and make it your own.
I hope this works, or else if nothing else wants to work have a pint of beer and try f*****g someone that always works.

Go au naturelle and take some St. Johns Wort its a natural anti depressant and Prozac is **** dont take it!!!!! Try going to an Acupuncturist! Find out what in your life is making you feel depressed is it a food allergy, how old were you when you started feeling this way? Is it someone or the place you live in? Is it hereditary? Maybe, you need to take meds maybe you dont but slap a smile on yer face and deal with it we all got problems. Eat ice cream it always makes me smile and feel good! Get a tattoo, die your hair!!!! Jump out of an airplane, travel do something to take your mind off of it!!!

"If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me."--Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Everyone stamps his own value on himself. Man is made great or little by his own will."--Schiller

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval."--Mark Twain

"The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else."--Arnold Bennett

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."--Leo Tolstoy

Find something that makes you feel productive, be it a job, volunteer work, or a hobby. It also sounds as if you may have a chemical imbalance of some sort, so you may want to seek professional help. Sometimes, the right medication can make a world of difference. In addition, a strong mind, body, and spirit go together, so do not discount exercise and meditation.

Seek professional help, you sound like you are suffering from depression. You are not a bad person or wierd or sick, you are simply suffering from an imbalance that many of us face and have dealt with, with help.

If you don't know where to turn for help, call a local crisis line for advice on who you can contact. Try 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)

Sounds like depression to me, its a chemical impalance in your brain, Clinical Depression is often said to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and this is what most drug treatments are based on. Certainly in many cases, there is a reduction in the amount of certain neurotransmitters found (monoamines such as serotonin and norepinephrine) in depressed people. You might want to consider getting on some anit-depressants and see a theripst, talk to your doctor, be honest with him/her about how your feeling.

hope this helps!

I used to be like that also.... its a chemical imbalance in your head.... bananas have something in them that will help with it, but dont rely only on bananas to help you... You should go see a phycologist and gets some depression meds..... i had to do that, i know its not something you really want to do, but it makes a big difference once you get on those meds.... i take celexa, it allows me to be myself, just not so sad..... give it a try hun..... if you are not willing to take that step yet, you can talk to me about anyting and i can try to help you ok..... fuknfukr2002@yahoo.com
