I am sad all the time. I dont like to do anything i used to do... or anything at all i dont even want to skateboard and a few months ago it was all i ever did and i am allways turning down invitations to hang out with my friends cause im never it the mood to hang out. I am having to force myself to eat cause im never wanting any food and when i do eat i get even more depressed. I am allways puting myself down i cant think of any good things about myself (probably cause there is nothing). I allways feel like life is pointless and most of the time i just wish i was dead. I cant pay attention in school and i fail a class for the first time. please i really want to know why im feeling like this.

Hey this happens to me all the time. I don't know why either, but sometimes I go into deep depressions like this and I completely ignore all my friends and coworkers. I'm sure they think I'm psycho sometimes...haha. It's really tough and it sucks when you are at school and you need to learn something and you simply can't concentrate on anything. The best thing that works for me is working out, talking with a good friend that will listen to you, play basketball, make yourself hang out with your friends, one's that will make you laugh, see a comedy or inspirational movie. Try and remember how lucky you are to be a free person in this country. I know I know, this may not be what you want to hear, but I go through the same thing all the time, and if some of these things do work, sometimes I have to try a few different things, and then I'm eventually out of it. Usually I hit the gym and school some people in basketball and then hit the weights. That works great for me, if that's not your thing then watch a good movie or put your headphones on and listen to some pink floyd or your favorite music. This stuff really works for me. I hope this can work for you. Make sure you eat though, that happened to me too. I was 6'3 and 150lbs...not good at all and this happened to my sis and her hair started failing out she'd get so depressed. It must run in the family unfortunately...so good luck. Just try and find something you enjoy. Oh another thing that works for me is going out in public, like the mall or a sporting event, a concert, seeing good looking girls or guys if you happen to be a girl. Seeing other people happy helps me too.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Just remember something: you are not alone out there!! Depression is out there and it so hard to admit having one, or know if you are suffering from one. We all go through something like this (at some point of our life).
Life is too busy, and we are the ones making it complicated. We are the ones who need to slow down and stop running.
One of the best things to do is to find a good listener, a good friend who is willing to help you emotionally. Go out with this friend and do something new (like trying a new ethnic food, or watch a movie-- I recommend Comedy!!)
Life is not pointless. You have a reason to be here. Make a positive mark in this life. I would still recommend you to see professional help, so they can guide you better.
Good Luck...

everybody has bad days, when you feel sad, unmotavated, etc. But if your having those days continously, you could be depressed. It's really hard for you to get out of this alone, so i would reccomend talking to someone you trust, such as a friend or parent. Also, it would be a wise idea to talk to a guidance counsellar at your school or even a doctor, someone who is trained to help you with your problems. Make sure you take time to dig deep and think, "why am i feeling this way" Has something happend in your life that is causing this? But the most important thing of all, something that you always have to remember is this: Your life is wonderfull, and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.=) I hope i helped. Please get that help.
stay strong<3

It sounds like you're going through depression.. don't worry.. I am too.. talk to your doctor or a friend about it. It's always easier to let it out and even though you might not want to it could do you a lot of good. I know what you're feeling and I know it sucks. I'm going through this I think as well.. Life sucks, it's boring, and pointless and I just want it to be over but I'm trying to get over it.. just hang tight..

It might be a good idea to see a counselor. You'd be surprised what they can pull out of you. Thing is, I'm guessing you are pretty young and I don't think they are too quick to put young people on anti-depressants. My son went through this when he was about 16-17 and he went to counseling and it really helped him and he didn't need any medication. See if you can get an appointment. If you get the right counselor, they can help.

Sounds like a case of clinical depression. If you are turning down friends, and wishing harm on yourself, you gotta get help. Talk to a school counselor, doctor, parent. whoever. If people telling you that your are a good person isnt enough, you need some professional aid. And no, you are not crazy.

You sound very depressed. See if there is a school counsel you can talk to or someone who can get you to a psychiatrist or a psychologist. You may need help to get better, and you don't want to be like this always. Get some help..
Then you will start feeling enthusiastic about you life again.

Sounds as if you are growing up. Right now you are going through so many changes both physically and mentally. It's normal to be confused and withdrawn. Find a friend to talk to, share each others problems. Get out and find something to do. Go to the mall, do something active. You can choose to be positive. Changing your attitude is not easy, it takes conscious effort. Being alone is not the answer. Get out and you'll find new things you'll like to do. Enjoy growing up. Once grown you'll be there a long time - take it from one that has been grown forever!

How old are you? Maybe you are going thru some puberty changes! You need to speak to someone about some of these issues because it is not good to be thinking so negatively. You need to try to find new things to stimulate you. A favorite song a new interest. Boredom lack of interest... You need to check with your family doctor and then if thats okay... you need to start understanding you would need new inspirations that you need to expand your horizons in a positive way. Try joining a club or a dance group, a photo club ... something that will help you get thru this uninspired time.

you have all the symtoms of depression.
go see a doctor,psychologist or councelor. DOnt wait because the longer you wait the worse it gets.
They will give you a prescription for an anti depressant,and after about a month, you will feel a whole lot better.
It takes time for the medication to build up in you body and to actually get you to the right dose to where you are feeling better.....
