Has anyone been to a low point in your life where you were extremely depressed and had no one to turn to?

When you are this down then you do not usually see things rationally.\n\nTry doing something new and different, something that you have not done or tried for some time. Remember, the time and resources that you spend on this should actually benefit you emotionally, career wise or financially. \n\nIn essence, it should serve a goal of your life not just show as a loss of time and effort at the and of the day. You will feel much better since it would have increased your own worth, reinstated your pride, improved your emotional standing or add to your financial picture.

I'm in the same boat as you.  I'm broke most weeks and when I do have money it never is enough to get help.\n\nI finally got help after my last suicide attempt.  I probably had an easier time at it then you will..as I worked for the post office at the time and they offer counciling for free.\n\nI was directed to a place called ComCare.  They help broke people get the help they need fast so they don't hurt themselves.\n\nYou should try looking through your phone book for city help for depression.  (My help is coming from the city)  If your city has it and they probably do you will get discounted medication, therapy and other services.\n\nIt is really worth a looking for if you are seriously thinking of hurting yourself.\n\nI think the easiest way would be to look for a suicide hotline number and they can help you out there.  \n\nGood luck and stay strong.

Sweetie, you are not alone. If I was there with you I would give you a big hug and you could have a good cry. Then I'd feed you ice cream and just sit with you. Maybe we could go outside and enjoy the sunshine if you felt up to it.\n\nLook at all these people who care about you! Please reach out for help again--like you have here. There are community call centers run by caring people who can help people like you who feel suicidal. Please, look in your phone book. Or go to the hospital or urgent care health center.\n\nOr check out www.samaritans.org.uk/\n"Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide."\nhelp available via:\n-phone\n-text\n-email

This has got to be a horrible time for you, not to be able to go and be with the ones you love in this horrible time of need.  I have no words of wisdom to give you that will ease your pain, nor help you either.  Use the phone regularly to call home, use the computer t seek counsel, and pray that this to shall pass.  Pretty lame, huh?

If you are that sad or depressed inside then eventually it will start to show on the outside as well. You need to try talking to someone about your thoughts and feelings right now and try to get out what's really bothering you or getting you down. If you get to feeling worse you  could see a doctor and maybe try medication to help you feel better like paxil or zoloft. Just don't let it drive you insane. Talk to someone.    Good luck.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time but things can get better. You may want to speak to a therapist to sort through some things that are bothering you. No money for a therapist call your local Suicide Prevention phone line and see who they can recommend to treat for free or at a reduced cost. Not interested. Then you might want to try some vitamin B 12. In time it often helps lift a lot of people out of depression. Good luck.

I am in the same boat as you.  Trying to figure it out.  What cannot be cured must be endured.  Keep strong.  Looking at your life without that other person there feels so empty and cold.

First off, I think you should go and talk with someone. A leader in your church, someone from a group, your friends, someone who will just listen to you. If you don't want to actively seek out someone, you can pick up the phone and call many of the free lines out there, as they have very caring people on the other end of the phone that can help you out. \n\nYou sound like you are suffering from a severe depressive episode, and I think your best course of action would be to talk with someone who can help you through this. \n\nI hope you do the right thing and help yourself out. Don't hurt yourself; you still feel emotion and pain otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question right now.

To tell you the truth, I'm not depressed right now.  I was, though, very depressed for a long time.  It started in grade school and lasted until just about 1 1/2 yrs ago.  I'm 29 so it's been a while.  I was depressed because I was picked on in school and mentally/verbally abused by my father, grandmother, and a couple x-boyfriends.  I heard them tell me for so long that I was worthless.  I ended up starting to really believe it.  I started counseling a few years ago.  That made a world of change in my life...in addition to Wellbutrin.  Now, I'm with the best guy most women can only dream of meeting.  I'm a lot less shy and more open about what's on my mind.  I used to cry all the time and I don't do that anymore...unless, of course, it's something serious.

Hello there! I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. People are so quick to say someone has depression. You say that you act like you are the happiest person on earth, but you aren't happy on the inside. You just have to believe that you do deserve happiness! I believe that you just have low self-esteem and self worth. 17 is a hard age! Believe me...looking back I felt the same way and wondered what the heck was wrong with myself. Just the pressures nowadays that are being put on young people is enough to make someone want to give up! I know to be happy is easier said than done sometimes, and it is a lot of work sometimes. Once you start believing in yourself it will get more simple. Life is too short not to have fun--experience life. I am not saying go out there and do foolish things, but enjoy the silly stuff. I am an adult and I still like to go to toy stores and play with the puppets! Because it makes me happy. I am not here to make anyone happy but myself. It sounds selfish, but before we can help others, we have to help ourselves. Just the fact that you asked the question on here shows that you are ready and willing to make a change for yourself. I have done a lot of "stupid" things in my life, but I have learned that loved ones are there for you no matter what you do. If people really love you, they are there for you no matter what! You can make little changes in your life. Use positive affirmation..when you start to feel those thoughts of hopelessness creep in--say to yourself that you are not listening anymore. If you are still feeling beyond hopelessness, there are many people you can go to to talk about it. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for some help and guidance. It is you standing up and saying you are sick of being that way and taking control of your life. I wish you luck and hope that I helped a little! Take care!

Ya wanna hear something goofy? When I was a teenager, I felt just like you! I would wish to god I was a Siamese twin, just so I wouldn't feel so alone. It is hard to explain, I wasn't really lonely cause I had lots of friends and people who loved me, it's more a feeling that all of them and the whole human race belonged to this,(something) what ever it was except me! I could be in a room full of people yet feel all alone. Then one day I started asking myself: WHAT DO I WANT? As I lay in my dark bed   crying myself to sleep, I would ask: WHAT DO I WANT RIGHT NOW? WHAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL AND FILL THE VOID IN ME? Perhaps something that would make me a part of something! Well I don't really know what to tell you except I volunteered for a suicide hot line, I served underprivileged children dinners, I  worked at a mission, helping the homeless, I sat with the elderly etc. and as time passed, the awful feeling of being alone gradually went away! That was quite a few years ago and I haven't felt that way since. I don't know what happened, but what ever it was, it sure worked for me. Maybe it will work for you too! Good Luck!

No.When I was in my late teens I was suicidal all the time,and deeply depressed.I had no family at all in this world.I felt I had nothing to live for and no focus in my life.I always lacked affection.At one point totally starved of affection I felt if someone gave me a hug I would break down completely.I had my children at 21 and 22.They give me all the love and affection I need and more.
