I think most ppl go through that, but if it lasts, something may need to be changed somewhere. \nTry to find something that you enjoy or something new you wanted to try.\n \nGoing for walks or exercise can help.\nDoing enjoyable things and exercise release feel good endorphins.You may not feel like doing it, but you have to force yourself to try something in order to make the change in how you feel. \nThe alternative is to stay feeling crappy. \n\nIf you have tried making changes like these to no avail, you may need to your doctor or some other professional about how you feel.

For a little while yes but you cannot let anger overtake your life. You think you are alone now then wait until you alienate all your friends, family and anyone who tries to help you. The best thing you can do is try get a hobby or do something that makes you happy. You also might try talking to someone. A friend, or a professional or both. I don't know how you feel about it but antidepressants helped get me out of depression and then one day I could not afford them anymore so I dropped them cold turkey. Now that was not the right way to go but to this day when I feel down or depressed I just think about my willpower. Depression won't get me today! So far it works. My life is back on track. Once I looked up and saw that not everything is bad. I was just too involved in my own mess to understand that. Everything happens for a reason and I know that now. I have grown from everything I have been through and even learned from my depression. I wish you the best. And also if you are thinking about doing dangerous to yourself or someone else please get help... call a hotline if you have to. Just get info on the internet. Try webmd or doing a search for depression. If you have signs of it then maybe you have it and need to get help. No one should have to suffer through depression when there are people to help. Good luck!

You need to speak with a psychiatrist. There many drugs on the market for depression.\n\nBut I ask you this, what has been going on in your life? Why are you depressed?

i've battled bouts of depression for years.this weekend i figured out that i probably should live in a warm climate in the winter, because from the holidays until the weather starts getting warm i just hate everything.   it took years to figure this out.  but sit down and try and feel why you are so down.  if it's not because of what is going on in your life, it could be something chemically going on in your brain.  and there are meds to help that.  just tell your doctor .  i know my doc gave me a couple of books to read about life,etc. and a prescription.  i analyzed myself and i think i know what the problem is now.  next step is what can i do about it.?  as much as i'd like to i can't go to florida every winter.  but i can make it a goal for myself.  please talk to your doctor.  especially if something is going on in your life.  doctors don't judge you.  they are there to help you.

You need to get out and do something...anything.  You may need medications to help with the depression, but go out and volunteer somewhere.   Help somebody else.  For me, and others I know, it is the best way to forget about your problems and do something that will make you feel good about yourself.  I don't know about your friends and family, but you should get involved with them or join a church or some social group so that you get out of your own little world and stop pitying yourself.  I am sorry that you are feeling so alone and depressed, but you need to do something about it, not just wallow in it.  Blessings.

Take a walk in the sunshine. The sunlight increases serotonin levels. Focus on good things either in your past or things you want to happen in the future.  Also drink a couple of glasses of water it seems to help pep you up.\n\nWhen I feel this way, I tell myself I can have a one day pity party and tomorrow when I wake up I am going to start the day with a brand new attitude.\n\n\nGood Luck:)

You might try exercise, if you don't already do that regularly. I've read studies about exercise being just as good as medication for moderate depression symptoms. You can always ask the doctor next time you go for some medical advice, they might give you samples of some anti-depressants in case you do decide to go that route. Good luck and take care!

You should DEFINATLEY go to a psychologist/psychiatris. They are very good at dealing with these things. You should go to your physician too because depression can be something chemical in your brain...and there is medication for that. So just do this as soon as you can and I hope you feel better about yourself and your life!

Stay busy. Keep moving. Treat yourself to a pedicure. Just don't stop moving or your situation will consume you.\nFind ONE great friend and you will NEVER be alone. If depression is a factor, I suggest you seek counseling that would fit your personal beliefs. I have suffered from depression my whole life which makes you afraid of being alone and scared all the time. Counseling was the best step I ever took, but you have to implement what you learn into your life.

Get lots of exercise.  It helps with all that stuff.  Also think about seeing a doctor or counselor, and make sure you talk to people about it, 'cause keeping it all inside only makes it worse.  Get yourself on a regualr sleeping and eating schedule and stick too it.  Less variables in your schedule tend to make you less depresssed when you DO get depressed.

Never let anyone or anything make you lose your faith. Hold on to that - it's valuable.\n\nFriends come and go, all throughout our lives. You can reach out to someone and be their friend whenever you choose to.\n\nAs for the depression, I think these tips are pretty useful. Take care and all the best.\n\n"GET OUT OF BED: \n\nOne of the most important things you can do is get up at about the same time every morning (even week-ends). Preferably, that means about 7 a.m. or earlier. You might not feel like it but Get Up. Such regularity helps your body function more normally so you're more likely to feel normal. \n\nLIGHTS: \n\nLight helps your body function better. So turn on a lot of lights as soon as you arise. Open curtains to get more sunlight. Better yet, go outdoors into the sunshine as soon as you can. Remove any eyewear so light will enter more readily (glass cuts out some of the sun's rays). But don't stare at the sun, of course. \n\nMOVE: \n\nBe active right away -- oxygenate! That means getting up and walking around your dwelling for five or 10 minutes, or perhaps riding an exercycle. Mild exercise gets the blood flowing and transports more oxygen throughout your body (especially to your brain), helping you feel mentally alert and alive. \n\nMUSIC: \n\nSelect and play some energetic, happy music as you dress and have your breakfast. The audiovisual department of most libraries has albums and tapes you can check out. \n  \n\nBREAKFAST: \n\nBegin your breakfast with protein (i.e., meat, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, cheese). When you get up, your body chemistry is ready to convert food, especially protein,into longlasting energy. To balance your most important meal of the day, add an orange or other fresh fruit and whole grain cereal or whole grain bread. \n\nTALK WITH SOMEONE: \n\nOne of the quickest ways to beat the blues is to interact with others. You might not feel like doing that - you'd rather avoid people when blue. So make lt easier on yourself. Talk with someone you enjoy about a subject you enjoy so there is definite give and take. \n\nAnd, force yourself to say "hello" to the persons next to you in class, those where you live, anyone around. \n\nLIMIT CAFFEINE: \n\nThe long-term (four hours or so) effects of caffeine are depression. Try to limit coffee to no more than one cup in the morning. Coffee can make you more alert for an hour or so, but later you get an opposite reaction. Caffeine tends to increase the release of insulin in the blood, and insulin lowers the blood sugar level. When you have low blood sugar levels, you begin to feel less sure of yourself, and have low energy levels, which can lead to the blues or depression. \n\nLIMIT SUGAR: \n\nSugar might give you an initial rush of energy, but within an hour or so the blood sugar level can become low, and when it's low you may feel low, too. \n\nThe caffeine/sugar cycle. It's easy to get caught in the caffeine and sugar cycle -- having coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, or something with sugar every two hours or so to "stay up." For example, cola contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar plus caffeine equal to about half a cup of coffee. In addition to bringing on the blues, this cycle can result in dependence, poor nutrition. and obesity -- reasons to get down on yourself even more and feel blue. \n\nMAINTAIN FIBER: \n\nFiber helps food go through your digestive system at a proper rate, giving a more constant energy supply. Highly processed foods merely provide a quick surge of energy which can be followed by depression. You can maintain fiber in your diet by eating an orange or grapefruit rather than just drinking the juice. Eat fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grain breads and cereals. \n\nSTRESS B COMPLEX: \n\nSome persons report receiving help by taking a concentrated vitamin B complex. You'll find these called something like "Stress B" or "B 50." This is controversial.

You have some very serious depression going on here, as well as extremely poor self esteem.  Find someone you can trust to talk to because you need to.  Go to your family doctor and he/she will refer you to someone who can help.
