I need help, I feel sad all the time. What is wrong with me?!


Question: I need help, I feel sad all the time. What is wrong with me?
I feel sad all the time. I have been crying myself to sleep every night for the past 2 months. I cry during the day as well. I have a great family, and friends, and a great boyfriend, who I have been with for a long time. I have a job and I go to college. My job nor college is stressing me out. Right now, it is fairly easy. I just feel like I am completely by myself, even though I have all these people around me. I just feel sad all the time and I cry and cry until I cant cry anymore. I've came close to cutting myself, because I thought that it would make me feel better, but did not. I've tried thinking about who I could tell that Im feeling this way, but no would understand or take it seriously. I constantly have a knot in my stomach and dont eat as much anymore. I dont have an eating disorder. Im just sad and I feel like I am completely alone. I dont want to go out and do things anymore. I just want to be at home and by myself. I feel so upset. Please help me. I dont know what to do. Theres nothing wrong in my life that will make me feel like this. I want to be happy again. I just feel alone. Please help me

lots of answers in this forum. do a search.

You are suffering from depression. I suggest meeting with a counselor, physchiatrist, physcologist, your doctor, and/or seeing a therapist regularly would be really helpful. I have seen all and I now take Cymbalta which works great for me, little side effects, and it's the only anti-depressant that doesn't make you gain weight.

It sounds as if you're suffering from acute depression, see a Psychiatrist and they will probably proscribe an anti depressant such as Citalopram whilst offering counselling or CBT

I'm studying for a PhD in Psychopharmacology

You said you have great family and friends. Talk to them. If anyone can help you, it's them.

Maybe look into depression it sounds like you might have it idk not a doctor but i would maybe see someone about it

Don't listen to "advisor" - he/she apparently is the expert on everything mental health or so he thinks. Yahoo Answers is here for exactly what you're doing - asking questions. It sounds like you're probably suffering from depression. This is something I too suffer from. It stinks - believe me. If you're very worried, try seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. You may need meds or you may just need therapy. For me nothing has worked so far, but my depression is very severe. You sound like you still have hope and that's good. Good luck.

I know exactly how u feel its the same with me I feel like my life is emotion less and pointless because I have everything that could make me happy good friends loving family a great life but I can't help feeling sad. I smile infront of everyone though because they r just so wonderful and I don't wana worry them. So your not alone in your feeling but my advice to you is break out of your routine go somewhere different not necessarily "fun" because you don't need to feel like you HAVE to be happy just go somewhere unexpected and see how that works out
