How can I avoid this feeling?!
Question: I am clinicly depressed. And I have been to a hospital for suicide and depression. And life has been great since I left there....but lately..I'm not happy...I cry all the time. I take my anger out on my loved ones. I am frustrated with feeling this way. And i have a wonderful support system, I have terrific people that love me and I love them. But I don't feel like I'm loved. Why? Any tips? PLEASE! I don't want to go back to the hospital.

I do not think it is a matter of avoiding these feelings. If they keep coming back that means they need to be dealt with. I agree with alot of the others say. Coming out of the hospital can be traumatic and very shaky after. I was hospitalized 2 times. If you do not have a therapist and are not taking medication I definately recommend starting there. You said you have a loving support system. Take advantage of it. Ask them for help. Talk with them. Let them know that you are down and you need some help. Tell them you do not want to be hospitalized. Unless you are suicidal or homicidal the hospital will not be of use. See if they will take a walk with you or sit and talk or a be a distraction. A good thing is that you recognized that you are feeling unhappy and you can take some action to feel better. Many people with depression do not recognize that they are miserable and have no way of getting better. Feel free to email if you need someone to talk to.
I feel this way, except that I do not feel love and support from the people around me. I write out my feelings or just hold a knife right beside me to make me feel better when I am upset. Or sometimes I attempt suicide, just for that feeling you get afterwards that makes everything less stressful, or at least in my opinion. I don't know what's wrong with me either. But try writing or talking to someone. That should help.
Did they give you meds? If they did, get back on them. If they didnt go to your doc and get back on them. The right meds, and dosing will get you back to your normal self.
one thing you really learn is to love every one and try to be calm,when you feel angry or feel like shouting just concentrate on your heart beat and breath and take deep breath and drink a cup of water.
then take a spoon of sugar and chew for some time and enjoy the sweetness for some time and bring the same sweet ness to the environment and everything looks sweet and lovely. try this!!

Uh... I guess the most logical thing to do would be to go back, but since you don't wanna do that... Do you have any really close friends you can talk to? Maybe a brother or sister? Mom or Dad if you trust adults That's really all I can suggest. I'm the same, but talking to my friends about just anything at all for a long period of time tends to help me.
I don't know about you, but I was always a little rocky when I got out of the hospital...I'd be fine there, but when i got home i'd feel bad. What you are feeling may be that--and depression is usually caused by more than enviroment...so don't punish yourself for feeling bad...clinical depression usually has a biological part.
maybe becuse ur not as close to other people as you should be..maybe u have something to say to ppl but u just dont want to
I don't want to push religion on anyone but i used to be like you untill I started going to church. I turned to God and asked for help and now I'm great and don't even need any meds. Try it before you knock it.
You got to have hope and God gives you hope and love too!
You just contradicted yourself. You said you don't feel loved but you know they love you. The knowledge that your are loved should make you feel better. Avoid doing things that make you angry. That way you won't take out your anger on your loved ones. Try art. Listen to music, learn an instrument or start drawing. Whenever I play piano, listen to music or draw I always get more relaxed. Plus your family will be happy to see you doing something creative. And you will be happy too.
