I've been that way for a long time, my equally depressed friend. Except I don't try to get rid of it, whether I'm just stubborn, or stupid, or what, I don't do anything about it. As far as I figure it, meds would never help anyway, people that don't understand can't do anything about it, and I'm just too much of a guy for yoga. I don't mind being different, it lets me have a realistic outlook on things that other people let their hope and emotions control. I have none, so its just raw. I used to cut, but then I stopped, because I realized that that just gets lame and kind of 14 year old like. I just learned to live with it, and things got somewhat better. So you're probably not a lost cause, if you can come to terms with your mindset, you'll have some of it solved. Feel free to email me, I'm always willing to talk to someone like me.

Have you tried prayer

its ok to think differently...but actually ur mind is just some where else....all u need to do is find someone who thinks like u talk 2 them..

Look at the friends and/or family you have around you. Are they good people? Or do they bring you down without you realizing it? That being said, you have to find something you enjoy....and that includes friends and family that don't bring you down. Toxic people are poison to your mind and state of sanity.

You are never a lost cause, you are here for a reason. Focus on fulfilling your destiny. The very best thing you can do is pray for guidance.

With the current state of things and mankind, who wants to be normal. Everyone's different and those that try to be like everyone else are fighting who they really are. No one has to find themselves, they just have to give themselves permission to be who they are.

No, you're not. You obviously continue to need therapy and meds, though. You have had a lot of trauma in your life and that is not easy to overcome...nor does it happen quickly. It takes hard work and a lot of it. Do it! You know you can! KJL

try stop playing the cello and go out and have some fun. get drunk, take some recreational drugs and have a one night stand. to alcohol, the problem and solution to all of lifes problems.

dude find people that you can relate to your not the only person in the world that thinks about stuff like that sometimes its good to be different from everyone like for example all the people that party in a couple years are going to be doing the same and you will prosper yourself in life you know sometimes talking to a stranger will help also but remember you were put on earth for a reason so to speak i learned a saying just do you and nothing will go wrong hope this helped

You don't say how old you are. I'm 52 and been dealing with depression since the age of 9, some times things are really great and I don't need much therapy and there are times when I need it badly for a few years at a time. YOU might not have found the correct combinations of theapist and medications. You might have to keep trying unitl you do. I've had therapist whom I deal with well before and made a lot of progress with. But it wasn't until I met my latest therapist that I felt I've finally found the one who'll be able to help me the most. He just seems to understand me the best, he knows when I'm close to being psychotic and he makes the changes necessary to make sure that I can stay out of the hospital and if that's not possible to make sure that, I go in and deal with someone he knows will deal well with me. He's a therapist who's willing to call me on it when he has to and to be empathic when that's called for. But he also knows how to keep you on track and focused on what you need to do to get better. That's what you need, You need to find someone that you truly feel that you can connect with so that you can truly deal with what ever your issues are. Try again until you can find that one person that you can really connect to.

No, you are not a lost cause. So, you see things differently than other people do. Don't you realize this makes you unique? Perhaps the reason nothing has helped is because you are the way you are meant to be.

Try trusting in God.. He made you and He is the only one who can fix you.

you shouldnt be depressed over that. I myself am one of the weirest and most different kind of person I know, and people do make fun of me, but just learn to not care and ignore. and you should stop cutting yourself. its hard i know, b/c its something thats actually enjoyful to do, ive done so myself, but the scars will remain forever, so try and stop, the scars will end up a huge problem like they now do w/ me. try reading a book. books are teh best thing in the world. they make the world go round...

No you are not a lost cause. I don't know if you believe in God or not but I do I believe and I will tell you why. I suffer from Depression also, When I first started I was about 20 and I had no idea what was wrong. Although I had a full time job and I was in school full time I look back and don't know how I made it. It seemed like my day consisted of crying and praying. I was diagnosed at about 22 and it took yrs for me to get on the correct meds. And once I started taking them regularly and got them in my system it was a huge relief and I was so amazed that I could really be happy again. Its just a chemical embalance and its nothing to be ashamed of. It may take a little while but go into a quite room and pray, ask people to pray for you and believe that your prayers will be answered and I truly believe that God will talk to you in what ever way you will let Him.

I am not a preacher or a saint I am probably no different than you, but this is what happen to me and it is a true story
I had gotten so desperate, probably as desperate as you are now. After taking all these different meds I thought that I would never feel better and I would have tried anything. Well I went to the book store and bought a book about mental health and common treatments. When I got home and set down to read, the book open up to this page that was the beginning of a chapter. Well me being human and not opening my mind, I turned to the table of contents. Then I dropped the book for some reason ( I don't remember why). When I picked It back up it was on the original page again. Thats when I thought that this could be some kind of a sign. And sure enough it was. When I started reading I was getting so excited because it was like that chapter was written directly to me. When I talked to my doctor about it, he wrote me a presciption and I have been taking it on and off for years now. My life is not perfect by any means, but I feel alot better and it feels good to only cry when something sad happens. I thank God everyday because that to me was a real miracle and I didn't feel worthy at all.

So take my advice if you surrender to God there is nothing that He can't do for you if you believe. Thats all I think He wants is for us to acknowlege that we need Him.

Hang in there. Believe me I know what you are going thru and alot of other people do too. You are definately not alone. Just be thankful that you live in these days. Doctors and Scientist know more about mental health now that they did even 10 or 20 years ago. I wish you all the best.
