What can I do about depression?!


Question: What can I do about depression?
I can't afford a therapist because I don't have a job, I can't seem to get a job, my parents would rather send me to job corps than set me up with some kind of help. I feel so lonely and sad and empty all the time and I'm starting to consider suicide more and more seriously. I can't stop torturing myself about my missed opportunities to ask out this girl I like. The fact that my friends are gradually growing distant from me feels horrible and I feel like I can change it progressively less. I also have social anxiety and probably what's called 'derealization' to make it worse. Is there any kind of self help that I could do that doesn't cost money?

First make a list of all your problems, then do something about each one, one at a time. You cannot move a mountain but can move one rock at a time until the mountain is gone. I too have social fear, it gets worse the longer you stay inside away from people. Go to the library, read some books, go back to school, learning anything makes serotonin and helps fight depression.

Take any kind of job you can, work at a pizza place, apply at any place where the people come and go alot, like the drug store. Start with any job and you will get a better job eventually. If you have a job you can get a job. Good luck.



For a start you need to get a grip of your situation, your low self esteam is whats probably stopping you from getting a job, if you go to an interveiw with the thought of failure then you most certainly will, Go with i will win frame of mind always helps we dont always get the first or second but we brush ourselfs down and start again, look in the mirror would you employ you are you shaven and groomed stood straight with the look of ambition in your eyes,if the answer is no then do whatever it takes to change your appearance and mind state,COME ON NOW WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT I WILL SHOW THEM ATTITUDE,get that job without being too picky and the rest is easy, the girls wont be a problem,



I've been out of work since July last year,i've got a job now in care,which i enjoy,you've got to help yourself in this world,it's not easy as I know,but the reason your depressed is because you've got nothing else to do,take it from someone who knows!!And has been there..Go back to college or start to do something you enjoy!!Only you can do it,no-one else!!!



There should be a Mental Health and Mental Retardation (MHMR) available to you in your County without funding. Also, some churches offer free therapist in some towns as a service to the community. Call 211 and ask for resources for therapy for those without insurance.



Why can't you get a job? Are you too overqualified for most jobs? Get ANYTHING that comes available and stop feeling so pathetic for yourself!

No wonder the world is getting more messed up if this is the generation thats meant to be governing the world soon



Depression requires repression.Repression is the will to just keep on moving forward!
