URGENT, Please help me: DEPRESSION?!?!
Question: URGENT, Please help me: DEPRESSION!?!!?
I've been feeling really worthless for the past couple months!.
I feel worthless, along with all the stress of college!.
I dred waking up in the morning, everytime I think about living like this forever I get butterflies and I feel like fainting
While I was on holiday all I did was stress about going home the whole time!.
I don't care about anyone anymore!.
I think about it and I realise that I don't care if I don't see anyone I know again!.
I wouldn't give a crap if I just came down with a serious illness!.
Latley I've just felt like I don't need college and I don't want college!. I'm much smarter than both my parents!.
I much happier alone!.
I don't care about my family or college at all, and I have not even got one friend!.
I feel tired all the time, even though I find it fine sleeping, I get 10 hours sleep a night!.
I can never get comfortable, no matter how hard I try!.
Things that I used to love doing, like watching movies and playing games, I just find stupid, pointless and annoying and I can never get into them!.
I just feel like I have nothing and no one to live for and if I just had someone to talk to, someone who cares about me as much as I care about everything, I'd feel better!.
I don't see the point in living anymore!. The world isn't big enough, I feel trapped!.
I don't see the point in my "future" because technically, none of us have a future, we all die in the end, so why take anything serious!?
I feel like I really want to !.!.!. die!.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I couldn't care less if I spend life alone!.
I feel like crap and I hate myself!.
I feel like I'm the same as everybody else!.
I feel like I'm never going to be happy!.
I cry all the time!.
I feel like the struggles are endless!.
I've already wrote a suicide note!.
I often feel like I will never be happy and I don't believe in myself!.
I'm seriously depressed and I seem to do the same thing everyday of my life and I spend all day in my room as the time goes by so fast!.
In my opinion theres no point in living, I wish I didn't feel like this but I can't help it!.
I feel sluggish all the time!.
I feel like I'm unwell when I'm not!.
I can't be bothered to do anything because doing something little like even doing my make up, taking a shower or cooking seems like such a BIG thing to me where as a few months back they seemed like nothing!.
I feel like I'm nothing and I feel like I'm not special!.
I feel like if I die nobody will come to my funeral!.
I have tried telling my parents millions of times!. And because I seem normal, and I hide it well because I laugh and smile alot!. They just don't seem to understand!.
I'M CRYING OUT FOR HELP BUT NOBODY IS HELPING SO I'M SUFFERING IN SILENCE, I can't wait until its over, It hurts so bad, not physically but mentally!.!.
I've already seen conselers and they don't seem to help me, should I just give up and kill myself!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have been there too!. Keep trying! It can get better!. For me the key was the correct medicine for depression and to finally sleep!. That doctor also recommended a Christian counseler, which has helped me even more in the long run!. I always thought of myself as religious and knew God loved me, and "all that stuff", but I've learned how things in my life have effected my perception!. Especially of what I think love is and how it should 'feel'!. I could go on and on about God and the Bible, because He has made a huge difference in my life, health, outlook, etc!. However, if you are not ready for that or receptive to him, I can understand that too!. This is my second episode (or battle) with depression, and the first time I did not ask God for his help!. This time I got better, and faster, and it happened with His help, without the energy sapping struggle battle and fight of the first time!!
So much for not going on and on about Him!
Anyway, I think the big steps are important, but there are lots of little things you can do too!. Sometimes if you just feel a little better, you'll be able to take the next step - or even have the energy to figure out what your body and mind need!.
Drink more water, eat more fresh food, walk for 10 minutes, write in a journal, sit in the sun, listen to less depressing music - the Carribean sound perks me up, list what you'll do when you feel better, don't watch TV or only watch TVland or selective sitcoms!.
I was also going to tell you that both times I have had depression nobody around me knew!. The few people I told at work ( to explain my abscences) all said "But you seem so happy" or "Your always smiling"!. I never did explain it to them, but I think part of my stress was keeping up the "happy" front to them and to the public!. It can be exhausting!!
Looking back at what I wrote, I think I made it sound like it is something you can fix, which would imply you are responsible!. That is not true!. Depression is an illness!. It is caused by chemicals (neurotransmitters) being out of balance!. It took a few tries to get a medicine that worked for me, and I am sure there is one for you!. If your doctor or counselors don't figure it out, then find somebody who will!. The above hints and thoughts have helped me get by until I got better!.
Above all, do not kill yourself!. That is a decision you can not change !.

PLEASE, do not do that!. there are soo many people out for you!. college is just the blooming of your adult life!. your parents might just be in denial!. really, throw the note away, you deserve life!. try something new!. talk to your most inspirational and closest college proffessor, they hav so much knowledge and wisdom they can give you!. try a change of wardrobe, one on one time with mom, go to a college party, hang with your dorm bud, chit chat with her and become good friends, cleanse negativity out!. take a long shower!. just LIVE, dont let anyone stand in your way (including yourself) be free and open minded!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Heya!.!.!. i can tell you that I've been where you are now and you're right!. We'll all die in the end, there's no real point in it really if we think about it like that!. But !.!.!. what i realised was exactly that!. We'll all die anyway!. No matter what!. So why rush it!? You're just robbing yourself of experiencing life!. Well that was my take on it anyway!.
Back when everything was so damned shitty and the experiences I was having weren't very good, I came to the conclusion that even those are better then oblivion!.!.!. because im going to see oblivion whether i like it or not!.
Truth is a lot of intelligent people come around into this dark side of thinking!.!.!. its unavoidable once you start putting things together!. All I can tell you is that I got passed it just by realising that there's no point in rushing it!. It's all the same in the end (or is it!? we don't know until we reach the end), so I might as well give it my best shot and improve that which I have complete control over!. Me!. I say experience what you can, good or bad!. Actually the bad might look very bad right now, but in retrospect having experienced the bad will make you a hell of a lot stronger/better/experienced then someone whose never been there!.
Moving away from the theolgical side of things!.!.!. Don't go to see councilors!. I think that everyone is capable of counciling themselves anyway if they're completely honest with themselves and have an open mind!. It's scary though cause the foundations of your beliefs can get rocked, but that's what it takes!. Don't waste your money on councilors (most of which have issues of their own)!.
10 hours of sleep a night!? Waay bad!.!. its nowhere near healthy, its way too much!. 7 is ideal, 8 is max and 6 is minimum for a health lifestyle!.
computer games and books n stuff!.!.!. well those things just wear off if you're not active!. the human body has been evolving for thousands of years and it reaches a certain age/time where if it's not getting the work it has been evolved for, you end up feeling like ****!.!.!. in short, take up jogging or something more active!. while you're jogging you might also want to exercise your mind on something new, like a new language, by listening to audio tapes!. I promise that'll work wonders!. A lot of our emotions/feelings are directly related to chemical balances in our bodies, and if our bodies are doing what they're sposed to!.!.!. it'll feel great!. if not, you'll feel useless and worthless!. It's natural!.
All the above is very well and good but doesn't help you out much immediately, so this is what I suggest you do!. In the next two weeks, get up at dawn, have some fresh fruit every day or even just a drink of fresh orange juice, go for a jog (or walk) around your block and pick up a new hobby!. Do this for two weeks and I guarentee you'll want to tear up that suicide note!. Just like I did!.
See you on the flip side!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

See a doctor!. If it's clinical depression, it may be time for some medication!. If you don't like the idea of medication (and i wouldn't blame you) see if there's any kind of semi-affordable therapy you could get involved in, look up cognitive or behavioral therapy!. You sound as if you need professional help!. If you want someone nonjudgemental to talk to, you can contact me, i think my profile has my email on it!.!.!.
either way, you're not alone, even when it feels like you are!. there is always somewhere for you to turn!. try reaching out to other college students, even if it seems painful to start!. building a support network of friends can make you feel a lot better and more in control of what's happening!. plus, with all the changes in your life as you work through college, it's common for students to be depressed!. really!. you aren't as alone as you feel you are!.
no matter what you do (besides killing yourself!) i hope you get feeling better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't fully understand what you're going through (sorry!) A very very good friend of mine is going through exactly the same thing and it kills me inside to see them like that!. I feel for you so much and wish there was something i could do to help you!. I think this is something that only gets better with time and help, you say you've told your parents!?! Maybe show them what you wrote or write them a letter (not a suicide note) to tell them exactly what you're going through!. There are books which can help you understand things clearer!. Don't kill yourself, stay strong and belive you can beat it xWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you are serious call the local suicide prevention line!.
If not , you still could benefit from some counseling!. Talk to the school counselor, or maybe your doctor, and see if they can get you someone good to talk to!.
You are special and you are obviously smart and sensitive!. Remember things change frequently as you get older, and things will change a surprising amount as you go through life!.

Maybe you need a break from school and re-group!. Some of your 'symptoms' made me think right away 'chemical imbalance;!.see a physician and omit that possibility!. You are reaching out, that is a positive!. You want to be better (although I am sure there are times you don't give a sh*t!. I've been there and it does/can get better!. If counselors haven't helped, try again!. KEEP trying till you get one that works!. a lot are freakazoids but a few are committed and know you cant always goby what you read in a book!. You can get very good counseling for free via your local mental health or family social services depts!. If you can't seem to tell them in the right words, show your parents this post (yours)!. Give them a chance to get help for you!. Hon, I am 60 yrs old and have had my share of wanting to give up and just not wanting to participate in life anymore but I did know to get help, just as you do!. Good luck and let me know how it goes!. Sunny circa_1948@hotmail!.com Www@Answer-Health@Com

In summation - you are depressed and lonely!. Now, just because that was simple stated - it doesn't mean that it's easy!. Someone could tell me, "Go lift that car"!. Simple, but not easy!. It hurts and things seem endless and hopeless!.!.!.!.!.!.!. find something or someone that needs you!. Be a hero to them!. Find a person with a terminal disease and befriend them!. See what it's like to daily face death and make the rest of their life better by your involvement!. Sometimes when you forget about yourself in order to concentrate on another person - you find a reason for living and find that your life is as worthwhile or as worthless as you make it!.
