Hey, my heart goes out to you! the feelings you are experiencing are perfectly normal and happen to everyone sometime in their life. The difficult thing for you is to just get that little 'push' to take you up a gear and get back in tune with society. Okay, no magic pill to swallow here but what I do suggest is that you stop knocking yourself and start looking at yourself in a more positive light, note down your good points, learn to smile and laugh at and with yourself and after a while, just a little sunshine will rub off on you. Nothing will happen overnight but accept that day by day, each day will be happier for you and simply spread your happiness to others. Also, don't be afraid to tell others how you are feeling, share the burden and let others lighten it for you. each positive thing, however small, will build into a better picture for you. The important thing here is that no one is going to rescue you ...... so help yourself a bit! Just go out, smile at the world and invite others to come in ....

I'm sorry that you feel this way. It's really important that you speak to someone about this. It depends on what your life situation is... do you have access to a counsellor - either at work or college? If not, see your GP who can consider putting you on a short course of antidepressants or refer you to a counsellor. It's important that you can get you back on track again and lift your mood a bit then you can gain confidence to make a few friends. A counsellor can help you with this process. Once you are happy within yourself, you won't feel that you need someone else to make you happy. It helps to find a good hobby that requires that you join a group, such as a free reading group that local libraries set up. Do a search under your local council to see what's available.
All the best.

If you're unhappy and overstressed it sounds as if you should speak to you doctor -- perhaps there are "chemical" reasons for your problems and medication can help.
You doctor is the only one who can determine meds will be useful in this situation and may choose instead to suggest counseling -- or prescribe BOTH meds AND counseling!
The problems could be caused by your living situation -- whatever it is; OR perhaps it's something at your job; OR maybe you need to explore hobbies.
Good luck.

Develop a hobby and find people with similar interests.
20 years ago, we could not have had this conversation. Now it is easy to find people who share your tastes and interests.
Find something that genuinely interests you (which automatically makes you a more interesting person) and use this marvellous tool you have literally at your fingertips to develop new friendships.
It is surprisingly hard for people who are passionate about something (ANYTHING!) to find friends.
Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It is a handbook on how to have fulfilling relationships.

drink B-relaxed vitamin water. seriously tones down the stress levels, and makes you feel more energized and at ease. and you need to not lothe in your unhappiness. get out there and do something good for yourself. meet new people, go to a spa, drink vitamin water, and perhaps get a therapist who will help you find yourself again! good luck!

You need to watch the video/film...Wonderful Life. You'd be surprised at how many people love and care for you but don't say, as it's a 'given' in their minds

Prayer is the answer-it is for me. Unless we try getting to know our Creator then nothing can fill the emptiness and lack of purpose. He died in agony as our Messiah so that if we believe in Him we will be forgiven our sins. Have you been to Church recently? You will make friends there.

HOW TO BE HAPPY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps above all, be healthy. Nothing is more valuable than your health and little is more likely to make you unhappy than ill-health.
Most fundamentally, recognise that happiness is a state of mind and not something which can be defined objectively. You can change your state of mind in many ways including the following suggestions.
Keep in close touch with relatives and/or a small circle of friends. You can't beat their love and support.

Try helping people in need, try conforting someone else who is down, try giving rather than taking...there is much reward in this.
Try to aid others and all you seek for yourself will present itself.
...its not hard either...
By keeping your current state of mind, you will most certainly collapse.
