1) i am human, so i have feelings, but the only feelings i got are of sadness, depression and sorrow
2) i am not happy with myself, not happy with the people around me
3) ya i have facebook, and im not really too isolated from people, but im still so lonely
4) depressed because of too many things
5) family love, or friends’ love isn’t that important to me anymore
6) i don’t care if i get bullied, it doesnt matter anymore…but i still care if people love me or not…no one “really loves me”…
7) my future is over…im 21 i cut myself to the extent where my whole left arm has been cut up, and I can’t bend one of my fingers (don’t know how cuts can affect bending a finger?)
9) im shallow, im boring,
10) working out and running are great…i have a great athletic body, but that doesnt matter
11) i cant explain how i feeling, except i can feel myself dying each day, but i dont…i wish i were dead, but i cant do it because i will go to hell…so whats worse than living the rest of your life in depression, knowing there is a temporary solution at least…my heart is destroyed, no hope, but my mind is still thinking, i wish i were brain dead so then i wouldn’t have to know whats happening to me…suicidal thoughts run in my mind the whole time, not a day passes by that i dont
11) tried meds = didnt work

so, in the end, im not loved (not even by the closest people to me), not successful in life and won’t be, natural-born failure, get bullied but got used to it (i’ll cry for abit and thats it)

it may seem weird, but i am actually one of the very rare people that you will find in life that don’t hurt anyone…i don’t talk behind anybody’s back (At least i try not to), i never make fun of people

so im just wondering, if god put me in a place where i don’t belong, then why won’t he take me back?
ps. its natural for people to not like me, you’ll see me, 2 days later you’ll just naturally hate me…its normal, so don’t feel bad if you hate me

James H asked:


I am a junior in college and have been working hard to get to medical school. However, I have been feeling depressed since I started college freshmen year. I worked so hard in college I haven’t really had a good social life (sometimes I just lock myself in my room or just sit in the library for hours just to study). I spend a lot of time studying since its really competitive. I really really really want to be a doctor since I can help others. Since freshmen year I have been having thoughts of suicide even in my dreams I see myself committing suicide. But this year its the worst my MCAT (medical test) is coming up and I am more stressed than ever. My GPA is fine but I know for a fact that this test will probably stop me from even getting into medical school. (And to be honest if I don’t get into medical school I really don’t know what to do with my life)
And this winter break it got really worse I got mad at something and actually took a knife and was about to cut myself I made a little mark but nothing too serious.

I mean I have thoughts of suicide but do you think it will actually happen? Is there a possibility I am depressed?

Kris asked:


I’ve been in Iraq for well over a year and while I have been pretty much out of harm’s way for the most part, it has been a rough year emotionally. I have not been diagnosed with depression before because I never saw a psychiatrist or anyone of that nature, however, I can tell you that for a good part of ten years, I’ve been having a series of depression which last for several days.

Here in Iraq, it’s been the most prominent. I would get depressed and feel empty inside and this will last for a week and then I would feel better for a week and get depressed for another week and feel better for three weeks. Usually, my depression is sudden. I would be at work and I will feel fine and then all of a sudden I would feel this uncontrollable saddness and empty feeling inside me. Almost like disappointment or like I lost something. Which would eventually turn into iritability and hostility and back to silence again.

I want to see a real psyciatrist but don’t know what to do. Thanks.

Not me, but some of my friends get upset and depressed (not depression) about life and their day. And I’ve noticed this among several of my classes as well (I teach high school).

What are some simple techniques to go from depressed to refreshed in a short time?

suzume asked:


I’m depressed or at least I think I am. I always feel empty and want to cry for no reason, when I don’t feel like crying I feel like screaming at people. None of things I enjoy doing are fun any more and all I want to do is be alone and listen to music. I keep waking up very early in the morning and have bad headaches all through the day, I can’t concentrate on anything. I try looking forward and telling myself it’ll get better. I know I should tell someone but I don’t know who. I don’t think my parents will sympathize as they will think I’m making excuses to not study for my upcoming exams, I don’t feel comfortable with any other adults and I feel that my friends won’t be able to do anything to help. If there’s no one I feel I can talk to, then what should I do?

dannychase59 asked:


Why do depressed people like to be mean and crude to others. I’ve known a few people who are depressed that take anti-depresants. One of them takes pain killers for recreation purposes. I’ve noticed they like to be crude to other people and not treat others right. Why is this?
I don’t mean to say that all depressed people are like this, I’ve noticed this behavior with the people that I’ve encountered.
