Unexplained Depression/ Self-Loathing?!
Question: I have no reason to feel the way I do. I'm not an idiot- I have a great life... a family who loves and supports me, I go to one of the top universities in the US, I'm doing well in school... I could go on. But most of the time, I don't want to get out of bed and face the world.
I am always so self-concious and paranoid. I can feel people staring at me and juging me. I have little to no self-esteem except when I'm acting- which is actually very odd. I am very sad and upset with myself all the time. I think of little things that I should have done, could have done better and it nags at me...
Everyday I just want to disappear. I constantly feel like the world would be better off without me and I often wish that I would be taken from this life... for example, when I cross the road, I think, "It really wouldn't be so bad if I got hit by a semi..."
I struggle with eating and constantly berate myself for things I eat... as well as anything I do that makes me happy.
Help?

Ah yes, it sounds like you are struggling with depression and anxiety. Sounds like a sort of social anxiety. These disorders usually really manifest themselves when you reach adulthood, around 18 or so. You may have always felt this way, but it gets worse when you become an adult.
Everything is fine, yet you still feel bad, right? This means it's a chemical imbalance in your brain. Do you have a history of depression in your family? It can be inherited. The best thing for you to do is go see a counselor or therapist, tell them about your feelings. You don't have to take medication, there are other therapies out there. Definately start by talking to a professional. It IS all in your head, but you can fix it! Good luck!
ITS JUST A PHASE!!!
you'll get over it eventualy.
i would talk to a counselor i think you have some signs of depression or bipolar disorder.
breathe deeply.. and start off a new day afresh.. wear ur best clothes and promise urself today your nt goin down! o and dnt forget that grin!
First I would suggest to talk to a counselor about this. Maybe you need more sleep and and energy drinks. No one is judging you and if they are they are probably as insecure as you or worse! Do you have any friends you can hang out with? Try making some friends online or in class. Try taking up a new hobby.
mate i feel exactly the same i think its just normal depression and boredom of your life at this current time i would suggest take up something new and something you find new and interesting
My brother had severe depression and he committed suicide a month ago. No one realised. He seemed completely normal. Don't take medicine. It would ruin you.
You are not alone in the way that you feel, trust me. My fianc
