Why do I even wake up? Please tell me.?!

Lets hope this gets better as you get older. You are surely very depressed. I don't know what is causing it, but you need to keep on trying. Don't kill yourself, my daughter did and a psychic said that she will have to come back and suffer all over again in order to learn what she has to learn. YOU have to learn something, something important. As you learn it, you will become happier. It's something about caring for other people. I know you say you have no religion, but once, long ago, I sat and asked God to reveal himself to me, and he did - I've been able to pray ever since. That can be helpful. Ask God what to do about this. Sit and pray. You need to have faith that even though you can't figure out what your purpose is, you have a purpose. Everyone does. So, for right now, you have two purposes. One is to be there for the people who love you, and Two is to find out what your purpose is. DON"T assume that you have none, because you were born a human being, and you do. Find out what it is - figure out our strengths, you talents, things you can do well, things you understand, where are your depths, what's in your heart.

Could you do me a favor now? There's a 17 year old who is dying from anorexia. For some reason, she asked for help on here. Could you please click on here and tell her that you have troubles, too, and that you know she needs to get to the hospital?

I have suffered from depression all my life and have found a path.

You are depressed. You need good clinicians who are willing to really listen to you and put you on the right medications and other treatments. Clearly, your clinicians are not listening to you...that is, IF you are 100% compliant with treatment and actually trying.

i know it sucks . you need a purpose .

i suggest maybe doing some volunteering jobs might , remotely help you . like helping those poor kids =( it would make you feel better perhaps .

you will feel more when you know that you have the power to actually change their life =))

You know before I wrote this answer I was trying to think of any reason you might want to live, but I don't know you.
All I can say is don't let your depression win.

it might be stress.

The only possible reason that you are still alive is that someone is thinking of you right now. It is next to impossible that you have exhausted every avenue, and if you are still here reading this when I post it, it means you have at least a partial understanding of this. If you're still around, even when you feel this way, you have something higher to do. This is one situation where destiny seems to make sense. I know, I've been where you are. The only thing I have to say is that death will not make it better. It is the cowards way out... Or at least that is what I kept being told. If it is any consolation, I, the faceless internet guy with a similar story, care about whether you die or not...

Experience... Please keep going.

There is a purpose on you. You come here because God wants to express sth through you. You are the expression channel of God's. You are made in God's perfection. You have your own speciality and uniqueness. Just let go, let God take over. Be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want to do, and achieve whatever you want to achieve, becaused you are loved and blessed by God. Just follow your heart, do anything you feel like now, God will show the purpose to you, and the way to achieve will be exhibited.

Learn better of yourself's true value, read some spiritual books, like Law of Attraction, or Dr. Joseph Murphy's the Power of Your Subconscious. Good luck.

Listen to this song. It made my cousin's friend completely re-think life. And it's catchy (;
(If the link doesn't work, it's called 'Katy Perry - Firework' )

Get a job? Even if it's something small like a shop assistant. You get some money and make friends. You're inside a vicious circle - you have no-one, so you feel sad, put yourself down, turning people away - and it'll get worse. I want to come and hug you, i really do. I want to tell you that everything will be ok, but I cant. Not face-to-face anyway. You need to stand up. Go on, do it, and say; "I AM SOMEBODY! I AM GOING TO ENJOY LIFE - I AM GOING TO BE HAPPY!" and you are going to say that every day, when you wake up, instead of thinking of death, you are going to say that. Then you are going to get a job. You cannot give up. As long as you are trying, 100% trying, you will not fail. Trust me. And also, Im sorry if this makes you sad, but once upon a time you must of had somebody. Hold them in your mind. Im sure they would have wanted you to be happy, and you can make them happy by living life to the full and not giving up. Good luck, Katy xxxxxxxx ?

just enjoy life... jump on trampolines, fall in love (and make them you're boyfriend), purchase bill gates (jk), start a business, get a job, go to atlantis, become a mermaid (jk), break a world record, own some guinea pigs, see a narwal, eat a waffle, dig for gold, imagine crazy things, do a backflip, go on the world fastest roller coaster (or just the regular ones), get a dog, win a million dollars, become a gold medal olympian, make some friends, invent a new language, get on a game show (ex. survivor, minute to win it, America's got talent, true beauty ect.) become famous, run a restaurant, go to an adventure camp, DANCE... anything that would make you happy... cuz im like 99% sure the purpose of life is to enjoy life itself...

Hi hun, I hope you get some help from these pages and find a way to turn your life around for the better. I truely believe that suicide isn't the answer but can fully see why you feel it's the only option at times.

First can i say that I had a nervous breakdown about 2 1/2 year ago. I saw counsellors and doctors etc and they all talked about depression (I also have a mood disorder so I knew alot about it before the breakdown). But I told them that if you look at all the stress and bad things that had happened to me in the previous year then I'd be mental not to be depressed and unhappy. Ppl can't expect to live a life with problems and not have them affect how they feel. I therefore refused meds and over a period of about 4 mths I mended myself.

And that's where you are hun - you're broken and you've recognised this and now you need to look at your life and see how you can fix it. How do you expect to feel happy when you have no joy in your life? Of course you're depressed - from how you've described things, who wouldn't be! I don't think you need meds or counselling, I think you need tools to making things better. You don't say how old you are but things can be adapted for any age. You need friends. you need hobbies and interests. You need either work or if at school you need to get the grades you deserve and work towards what you need for the future.

It's all easy to say but I know it's hard to do. While you're feeling so low you won't want to go out or get dressed up or take an interest in anything I know but if you can force yourself to then it'll help so much. I'd start with the basics - get active. Exercises give us happy hormones and this is exactly what you've been in short supply of. During my breakdown I started gardening and decorating, then I started to use the wii and would prance about for an hour a day then I started to go for long walks and the fresh air with exercise was great, finally I was able to join a gym and go about 3 times a week. This building up in activity really helped my mood. Sitting around is boring and creates lathergy. Even adding an activity like reading or drawing helps. Put on 'happy' music and get up and sing and dance -forbid any depressing, sad, slow music for the time being.

Once you're moving and motivated physically start to think about hobbies and friends. Look for either support groups in your area or some kind of activity group. What is it that you're interested in? Get involved and start talking to ppl. Go out and get new clothes, get your hair done, have a massage go to a spa for a day - basically treat yourself! Start telling yourself that you're worth the effort. Learn to like yourself. List the things you do well- whether it's suduko puzzles or tying showlaces. Do it once a week and see if you can get your list to be longer each time.

You came here cos you wanted change... I hope we have inspired you to be brave enough to do it!

Much love xx

I'm sure a lot of people feel like this at some point during their lives. If you start to look for a reason in life you're probably going to become even more depressed. Instead I'd think of change. You say you don't believe in anything yet you're afraid of an afterlife. So that can't be true.I think you should look towards things you never have before. Something with meaning. (yes, even religion) You'd probably be shocked at how much that could help you. Just change your life and meet people with a common interest who care. Don't over analyze everything, and try something completely new.

I wish you luck. :)
