I'm always feeling miserable.?!
Question: I always feel like I'm always miserable, and the feeling of sadness is always there in the background. its like, sometimes, when I'm happy, its like getting distracted for a while, but then i go back to the misery. I hate everything about myself; my looks, my personality. I hate my situation, I'm always wishing I was someone else. I'm always thinking I might be mentally ill, and I think I'm self obsessed. My mum doesn't believe that I'm depressed, and whenever I try to have a conversation with her she just gets angry and agitated and says stuff like 'its your own fault - only you can change yourself' and 'all teenagers feel like this'.
Sometimes I wish I was dead, or had never been born. I always think 'Why me? Why do I have to be the one that none of the boys like/ why do I have to be the fat one / why do I have to be the ugly one'
I think I could be bipolar or depressed or SOMETHING. Everyone always says I'm so negative.

Do you have any friends that you can talk to? It actually helps spilling it out, like what you're doing right now. Reading your problem here reminds me of how my teenhood was. I'd say you definitely have depression and it can be resolved with medications. You can go see your regular doctor if you can't afford a psychologist on your student allowance. Anti-depressants are not gonna make life simpler but it will make you feel better inside and when you feel better, you'd be more capable of handling your problems. Sometimes I still wish I never existed but it really gets nowhere. If you think you're fat, then try to lose weight. If you think you're not pretty enough then change your hair or do something about your looks. But seriously honey, if you're created by God, then how can you be ugly. =) You are beautiful when you can appreciate your own self before others can. If you need to talk to someone, juz email me. Sometimes strangers are exactly what you need in times of need.
whao...please dont. look, why dont you get some tests done at doctors eh? see the fundamental reason for it all. is there somethign in your life thats made you unhappy? some one or soemthing? are you menopausal age? have you recently had baby? or you might have low thyroid levels affecting hormones. it could be hormone imbalance. you might have PMS or PMT. it could be a mental health illness. theres lots of things that could be. Just go see doc and mention all these above, whichever link up to you. get it sorted and you will be happy knowing you went. please dont be silly and end it all. I know its easier that way but hey...a beautiful life ahead of you. you will see the light soon. just be patient.
First realize that what you are thinking is not true. When you do, you will realize that chemicals in your brain are misleading you.
Begin by calling your doctor and making an appointment to discuss this with him/her. Your regular family doctor will do for a start. You should also see your school counselor.
In the interim, you can answer some of your own questions with some self-assessment tests:

see your GP, if they think its a mental health problem they will refer you on to your community mental health team (cmht),
