Nothing is making me want to live? What do I do?!

Question: Nothing is making me want to live? What do I do?

I have been severely depressed since I was 7, and I'm 16 now. I have seen ALL kinds of people. My parents have spent thousands of dollars on trying to get me better. I am on medication ECT. I also have anxiety and borderline personality disorder. My REAL parents were drug addicts, which is why I have so many mental illnesses. I am still depressed though. It's been 10 years, and I'm over it. I am going to give up. I have a boyfriend, lot's of close friends, a sister, a house, pets ECT. My life is 'good' in that sense. But Inside I feel terrible. I hate the way things are, even though they're not bad. It's hard to explain really. I wasn't going to school for a while, and was unhappy about that. I'm going again now though, but still feel unhappy WORSE EVEN! What should I do ?

Answers:

You have a problem, thanks to your parents something that effects me, as I was a blue baby with lack of oxygen to my brain. I have a 132 IQ, but nothing sees to work for me. Having lots of people around, doesn't make me feel much different than being with 1 or none. I'm going on 60 now and I lived through this nothingness, and you can too. I'm not sad, just not very joyful. I surrounded my self with people that I could help. Like giving kids help with reading, math. and I had pets I had to take care of. I just had to shut off the bs going on inside and help other people that needed help. Volunteering was more rewarding than anything I did for myself. It helped to shut off my negative feelings. You get enjoyment when you can tell you have helped someone or something.

Since you have seen all kinds of people I am going to recommend some other options. Thought Field Therapy has been around a while and has seen a lot of success but is still considered "alternative". I have used it and one of my friends used it with great success to help his gambling addiction. There is no risk involved so I don't see why you don't give it a try.

Roger Callahan is the inventor and you can read all about it on his web site.

I will say a prayer for you too. Please don't give up.

DO NOT GIVE UP. You are still very young and it may take time for you to find yourself.
Don't dwell on negative stuff and things you have no control over. Stay in school and work hard. Set some goals for yourself. Look for a positive in everything. Also don't do as your parents did with the drugs. DRUGS and ALCOHOL will destroy you.
Maybe getting involved in church will help.

Dear friend, u are not alone. There are many people in the world who is facing similar problems. I don't think u have mental illness, it is just ur fear. If u had real illness u would not have been able to write down your feeling so clearly. I strongly believe u have a beautiful future.

Life is not full of happiness. We all have different kinds of problems in life. But we all suffer them and fight back to over come them. This is how life is.

Have u ever tried Jesus? He is my strength in all my troubles in life.

btw, I have a gift for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3XFnF8KBKU
