Im depressed. I think. I cant think a happy thought at all. Why?!
Question: Im 19 years old. I still live at home. I dont go out, i dont do anything fun. I dont have any friends in town, they all went off to college. Basically i have no friends. I go to a job i hate and i am so unhappy there. I live at home, where both my parents totally put my life under a microscope, and i dont do anything at all. i dont go out because of this. i just would rather stay home and do nothing and be bored than make them unhappy and go out, where im constantly questioned what im doing, where im going, why im going, who the people are, and etc. it is insanely annoying, and i just am so bothered and unhappy bc of it. I go to a job i hate five days a week and get teased by management bc i am recently new and dont know "the tricks of the trade" for god sakes its coca cola, and i just put cokes on a shelf. whoopty doo. i dont know what to do, and am i really depressed?

Look for a new job. That might make you happier. And do things by yourself, going out. See a movie. Eat tacos. Try to meet people. Maybe think about going to college and what you want to do with your life. Good luck! Have fun!
u need to read my questions and answers :-)
go to youtube and type in "crazy religious"...youll see some pretty funny videos of crazy religious people flipping out...
Well I would mabey try to find a nice boyfrind and mabey go see a movie with some friends, i don't think you are depressed, I feel the same way sometimes.
Yes you are. But your parents don't help at all.
Get up and do something just for you today!
Just going through a rough time. Move out, tell your parents you are an adult man, go to a local bar with some collegues, if you dont take any risk in life, you will have no life at all
I actually get depressed as well.I'm a country girl so I don't get out much.Just try to think of the future,try going to parties,or just try talking to some random people and make new friends (internet or the gym)) .As for your job,many noobs get teased.it's natural.
Good luck!
Damn... That sounds terrible. I'd say move out first and experience standing on your own two feet for a change. I too had very scrutinizing parents. This is why I disowned them.
You sound a little like it, but you should see the good things in your life. If you wake up in the morning and have the ability to choose what you wear or what you eat, you're better off than half the people in the world. Also, why didn't you go to college like the rest of your friends? Don't blame other people for the problems you brought on yourself. Get over it!
Try to make new friends, go out more, enjoy yourself while u can, and try not to think negative.
These bad times do pass.
Your parents watch your every move because they care about you. Maybe they don't the best way to show it but no ones perfect.
Do what you can to make small changes to better your life.
You think thats bad you should see what its like in my head.

Have you tried talking to Jesus? Can you find some open area near your house like a field where there are no others? If you haven't tried yet, find it, go there and talk to Him about your situation aloud.
I know it's hard but the worst thing you could do is do nothing and just sit here thinking about how much life sucks.
Do you go to college? You could live in a dorm away from your parents, graduate, and get a better job.
If you don't want to go to college, figure what kind of job you want. Try to find something else that you like and that will get you enough money to move out.
You sound like an intelligent 19 year old. Why not try to find another job where the atmosphere may be more fun and you can meet people, like the local recreation centre? I understand that you want to avoid the conflicts with the grumpies but they think they are protecting you. Even volunteer work that gets you out of the house will help. You need your independence. Find it! Good luck.
I think you are depressed, but it's because you lack a sense of self. Ask yourself: "what would I do if I had the ability to make 10 wishes?" If you ponder this question long enough, you will be surprised about what is really important to you, and where your true passions in life lie. Spend a couple weeks pondering this question and how you would like to transform your life. You will gain valuable insights about yourself. But, keep it a secret. Don't share it with your demanding parents, or with the ignorant people at work. After you know yourself better, start planning how to really reshape your life and to fulfill your true dreams. Don't be afraid to dream, because that's what life is all about.
Hey man, I know where you are coming from. First of all I want to say find another job, your only 19 so it makes no sense to stay in a job you hate especially when its not a "career" job. I personally hate my job also, but I am kind of stuck in it since it would be hard to find a better one.
You have to get over what your parents are doing to you, its definetley bringing you down and ruining what should be the best time of your life. Maybe you should tell them exactly what you wrote, that you feel you are under a mircoscope with them. If that doesnt work or you dont want to tell them, then you might be better off moving out, maybe finding a roommate if you cant afford to live on your own. You are not helping yourself by giving in to them, you are just limiting yourself and in the long run you will probally become more depressed and anti social. The best thing to do for depression is to take your mind off it, find something, anything that will occupy your mind. You could do volunteer activities, enroll at college, find a new job, join the gym and maybe pick up some new hobbies.
I know its really hard, ive been there, actually im pretty much still there. I have chronic depression that I cant shake, and recently I have been seeing a therapist and taking medication. You dont want to do that unless its a last resort though, your only 19 and I think its a normal thing your going through, and chances are you will get through it.
Good luck from someone whos been there.
I have been there...even though I am female I know what you are going through.
I started to write down everything I did everyday in a journal, I would write down how I feel about people and things.
Someone once told me "You have to plant your own garden" and they were so right! You have a choice everyday to be in the mood you want to be and I know how hard that is to get into a good one so what I did to make that happen was to go look at myself in the mirror and I know how stupid this sounds but it worked, look into the mirror and tell yourself how great you are and remind yourself of any good deeds you had done, just keep telling yourself all day long that you choose your mood and I choose to be happy keep doing it till it happens it really does work I promise! No matter what job you are in no matter where you are keep saying it to yourself.
Then when you see your garden flourishing you can be in apositive attitude to find that new job and find other ways to make yourself happy. Please try it.
