Depressed?

Jill

I'm not sure if i could really call what i have depression, but i know i'm not okay.I've been feeling horrible every single day lately. I feel like all my ambition and energy has been drained from me. My father past away last year, the four best friends that are still in my life lately haven't shown me in any way that i matter to them at all, no matter what i do for them. In fact, to be honest no one really has needed me, or shown me that i matter in quite some time, and what's really fantastic; i've manged to fall for a guy that i have no chance with, but in that department really what else is new? i just feel completely worthless. I had a councilor, but she just made everything seem worse to me. I've tried talking about how i feel with my mum, but i think i've tried talking to her so many times she just blocks it out now. Like, it goes through one ear and out the next. I feel like she's given up on this side of me because it's unexceptable. I think the only side of me she'd actually care about is the side that seems okay, so now i have to put up a front for everyone. I really have no where else to turn. Is there anything i can do to stop feeling this way?

I have felt so many times like this...I want you to know that no matter how many best friends or family you have, YOU are the only person who will ALWAYS be there for you or understand what your going through. Thats the ugly truth about life. Unfortanetely most friends are there through the good times and when they have problems because they dont really know how to deal with yours. Its easier to not think so much about it and just breath. When you get overwhelmed take a second. It would probably help to write in a journal too at least you will get it out...Good luck!

I can really relate. The best thing to do is to try and keep busy, do something you enjoy. I understand how it feels when friends act like they don't care, sometimes it can be that they do care, they just don't know how to help. Just tell people how you feel and if that doesn't work, try and find other people to connect with. I think you'll be alright, just don't stress too much and defenitely try and stay positive!!

I felt a sense of helplessness when I came home where I thought my life would be is not where it actually is, I have read all of the thoughts and feelings of others on here and the one fundenmental thing to remember is we are not alone even when we think we are, we all isolate ourselves because we think only of ourselves in the present moment which in a sense is selfish I wouldnt have said that about myself there is more to life than just you so look out of that if you can have courage and tomorrow is a better today and if it isnt then the hope of it being better and striving to change the way we think is the key to happiness hope this helps anyone who is feeling anxious and down and all the signs that are depression and also for me lack of stimulation. Love and light to you all.xx

So this is really difficult for me to even admit... But I'm gay & I hate it, I don't know when I realised it but now that I'm 17 its seems so obvious, I try so hard to hide it but it just bites me in the ass. I just want to be accepted as an individual, I just wish I could just be the hetreosexual young an I am. Everyday I have to act like I'm happy but I'm so unbelievably miserable. I don't the craziest things to get attention. My dad can't even stand being in the same room as me, he literally hates me,he even kicked me out his house and when I was living with him he'd beat me and tell me how worthless I am! I have never told any one about my sexuality because its just not worth it at school I am continually teases and made to feel like the lowest of lowest there are days when I just wanna take my lifr. I currently live with my aunt because my mum passed away. I just don't know how to carry on in life. I'm stuck in a rut, my grades are slipping & I just push anyone that try show me love away! I only have ONE true friend but our friendship isn't real it is based on what I can give to her! I just don't know what to do anymore! HELP
