Sighhh.

I feel so low and awful and depressed. I haven't yet ever felt so alone =[
Even though I have so many wonderful and kind people behind me. I'm still so unhappy, and the thought of being so selfish makes me feel even worse.
Wish everything would just go away. ='[

Everyone gets depressed from time to time, but usually it goes away.
I found some videos on depression and maybe they'll help you get through it.

Good luck and smile :)

Thanks May, I have suffered with depression for a few years. I recently tried taking anti-depressants for it, but it made me terribly ill and unable to sleep.
Nothing seems to work. I just want everything to go away. Unfortnately- no such luck.

Hey chocolateChip,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so low. I have been feeling like that for a long time and I have finally got myself some counselling. I dont know if you have tried it but I find it very useful

If you can, give it a try.

Best of luck

you have to think about "why" you want everything to just go away. If you have everything, but feel you have nothing, there must be a reason for it. I feel like this sometimes...although at my age (22) i think its just because i dont have a girlfriend! and most of my friends are getting into serious relationships, getting a house, thinking about babies and everything. I get jelous and that makes me a little depressed sometimes. At the end of the day, depression is there for a reason. Ive found, that once youve found the cause of it, you can start thinking about a way to rectifiy it. I wouldnt recommend seeing anyone professional personally....its you life, you need to find the answers youself, like i did, have done, and am still doing! At the end of the day, no doctor or psychologist, or psychiatrist is really ever gonna help, because they get paid for it. Theyll sit and listen, talk some ****, and get a nice paycheck. they dont really have an incentive. Id suggest talking to your friends or someone really close.

I know what you mean though. Sometimes i wish everyone would just disapear. even for a day. So i can roam the streets all alone!

Hey there Banjosister, sorry to hear you have been struggling too!
I have had some counselling in the past. But nothing working, only last week I saw a psychiatric nurse, who has referred me to a psychologist for cognitive behavourial therapy.
But I will have to wait a while for it, let alone for anything substancial to happen to my state of mind.
I have work tomorrow, and I am dreading it so!
I will get sacked if I spend anymore time away, and I need the money for college.

[ChocolatChip]

I do have pretty much everything. I have an absolutely amazing and supportive family (consisting of mother, father, aunt, and a little old grannie.)
And I have a wonderful, supportive boyfriend, who would go to the end of the earth for my,
I think I have friends, although I'm never sure, I used to. But my oldish friendship got destroyed, and completely ruined my life ( about 3/4 years ago this)
I can't make friends anymore, and any friends I do have either don't care anyway or just end in nothingness.
I don't have any best friends, my boyfriend is my best friend.
I've always put my problems down to bullying.

Hey CC,

its cognative therapy that I have, I find it so helpful, you may have to wait for it but it really will be worth it.

Though it is hard work as you have to trawl up so many painful memories but it is often because these have not been dealt with that we have problems in the now.

I'm already feeling better because I know I have taken the first step. Happiness comes from within and I think I had lost sight of that.

I agree that jumping around to music always helps (hey cuddles) always puts a smile on my face if nothing else!

Big hugs

Hey there cuddleme, yes I guess that dancing around would help, exercise is meant to help and whatnot.
I'm always on special diets and excercising to help with the depression and panic attacks, I have also began reading 'The Tibetan book of living and dying' which my aunt asked me to read. Since she has had similar problems to myself.
I have spoken to so many doctors and what have you, I am always having to bring up my memories to different people, yet I cannot seem to get any peace from it.
Such horrible thoughts.

I suffered from mild depression a few years ago. I took high strength St Johns Wort and high strength Evening Primrose Oil for a good 3-4 years and for me it really did work. Only when I really got into exercise did I feel confident enough to stop taking it although it's harmless anyway. Do give it a go but I warn you it may take a while to really work.
