depreessed

I am always depressed. I just never feel happy, I'm always so stressed out. I don't know what to do with myself. I always feel isolated from my friends. The last time I hung out with a freind outside of school was three months ago, and most of the kids at my school have someone to hang out with every day and every weekend. I feel like my life has become hopless. Nothing I do is right, and I'm never going to be the pretty, popular, happy person I want to be. I need help getting back to normal! pLEASE help me!

Hi,

What is your home life like?
Problems like these can start from childhood memorys, and be triggered by changes to the current lifestyle.

I know how you feel, it is the worst feeling someone can ever have, while I dont have any solutions I do want to tell you, dont let your depression control you. I did let it control me and i dropped out of school and HAVE to go to a outpatient program. NO other school will take me cause of how bad my depression got. If you really want to maintain relationships with your friends fight against your depression. That is a step which will 110% benefit you later in life after your depression ends. YES IT WILL END eventually

Hey yea i know how you feel. I feel bad alot too And im really untalkative. So i get a little isolated from all my friends.
Bundy is 100% right. Try forcing your self to go to social events and to hang out with people i do it alot when i dont feel like doing anything. Doing something makes me feel better for a while.
Try lots of physical activity i hear it helps.
Try not to focus on being pretty and popular, pretty is a opion and i dont know how your school is but mine there is not popular kids every one just hands out in there own little groups.
Do you know what you are strested out about?

LOL maybe you should go on some long runs and maybe you should attend some national basketball association games

I'm depressed.

hey GummyFeet,

I know how you feel, I am also very depressed and havent hung out with my friends in a couple of months. I may sound like a hypecrit saying this, but I think you should try and force yourself to hang out with your friends even when your feeling down. I know it's easier said then done. I havent even accomplished it myself yet. I cant remember the last time I hung out with a friend, but one of my old friends called me a couple of days ago, normally I dont pick up the phone but for some reason I did this time, and I'm going to hang out with her on monday. Although you probably feel that you dont even want to leave your house, I find it helps to be around people to keep your mind off of being depressed. I normally hang out with my sister when I'm depressed to keep my mind off of things but my mom say's I should be hanging with people my own age. Depression is a hard thing to deal with, but it is easier when you have people there for you. I hope you feel better soon.
Take care,
Kayty

Hi GummyFeet,

With depression, from what I've read, it is always strongly recommended that you consistently remain occupied with something at hand. This might help you gain some relief from depression.

Despite not suffering from depression myself, I do find regular or casual workouts at the gym to be very effective. I'm most certain that it's probably been said a million times, but exercise increases the amount of endorphins produced in your body. In effect, it helps lift mood. Not only will exercise help mood but you're also helping out your body to stay healthy and fit.

If exercise isn't really for you, I would suggest firstly taking some time out and really getting down to the stem of your problem(s).

As Kayty mentioned, the best way to get around depression is to know that you have adequate support for your ordeal. Try to keep your friendships intact or try finding some new friends. This might not necessarily beat depression but it should help you nevertheless.

I hope this helps you.
