If people legitimately are depressed, you will not be able to help them. It's like if someone has a broken arm and you tell them to do weight training, it won't work.

A great many things. 1) neither my antidepressants, nor my antipsychotics seem to be working. My doctor won't give stronger doses of them to someone under 18 2) my family hate me. They have told me, in person, that they hate me. They talk to me as little as possible coz they think I'm clinically insane. 3) I hurt everywhere. Absolutely everywhere, and have done so for about a week or two. If I eat any food, it gets puked back up. My doctor also says he can't do anything about either of these. To pick 3 of them.

im bored of life, i have no motivation, my only friend is imaginary and she ignores me a lot.

I suppose a second opinion couldn't hurt. Copy/pasted: I got caught doing drugs, among other things, last year. I've never felt so low and pathetic in my life. So I stopped talking to friends, because my dad is always worried about me doing drugs. I can't do anything, except see my girlfriend. Me and her we want to start a life together. But society thinks that all we want is sex, I suppose. (We haven't yet) So, my life went from awesome to me sitting home, playing a damn game collecting virtual loot that won't mean anything in a year from now. And that's another thing! Society.. Most people say recreational marijuana is good and bad, obviously. It has pros and cons. There is no definite who is right, who is wrong. Same with a lot of things. Who IS right? Was I wrong for experimenting? Who knows.. I wasn't out to hurt anyone. Just take care of an old curiosity I had. Was I right to get punished as badly as I did? Maybe. It's somewhere in the middle. Same can be said of religion, gay marriage, anything. Right now, my life consists of going into Highschool as a junior, looking at all the naive and ignorant people, acting like morons, feeling no place in society. Always feeling so useless. I'm a disappointment to most people I know, and much of society. My grades are shit, caught with drugs, anti-social now, and I log 8 hours minimum a day on Xbox, unless I go to see my girlfriend, the main reason I have a little bit of sanity left in me. Where's the good in me? Seemingly, there is none. My girlfriends mom is the worst of it all. Majority of her family. They always talk shit about me. It's not fair. Telling her to find someone else. Telling her she doesn't think we'll last. Telling her we're not good for each other. I'm just the 'boyfriend'. As if All I wanted was sex. I want more, but of course, with my age, most people just let their dicks do their thinking. We both want a life together. No one thinks we will. Is it really so stupid to want this? In 1 1/2 years to be together, and start something together? If I'm not 'ready' to make this decision, why am I ready to make the decision of the career I'll have until my dying day? I know what she's like. What a job is like? No clue. As if we're always together, holding hands, talking about our problems, as a joke. 'For the lolz', me and her tell each other, as a joke that really kills both of us. Xbox helps distract me from bullshit I have to deal with. Distracts me from having no purpose yet. Distracts me from the thought of being a disappointment. So that is another large prt of my life. I've tried to find a job, and no luck. Maybe at 18. So I go in with my dad for $13.75 an hour until then. TLDR: I have disappointed people, I have no place in society yet (for a few years), 8 hours gaming a day, I'm in a relationship where we want something but everyone thinks that we only want sex. And I've never been so unhappy with my life. My life: Sleep: 25% School: 20% Gaming: 30% GF: 25% Hard to get more accuracy than that. EDIT/UPDATE: Drove GF 70 miles because her Mom can't plan anything. No 'thank you' was spoken (except from GF) Yesterday drove her around for her too. Us guys can never catch a break xD Over time, things will get better, I think.

I can't get thorn. I try and try but I always lose my points in the crucible. I tried the pills and smoking weed erry day but it's not helping. I can't even get to 200 points. I just keep getting rekt. I feel like my life is going in a down spiral because of this thorn bounty. I'm considering suicide if it's not finished this Friday.

I dont even know where to begin. I cant even make it to school most of the time. Im suicidal, yet no one knows. Everyone thinks im wasting my life away playing xbox. I sleep a lot. I used to do drugs too, all just to escape reality for as long as I can..

I'm not really depressed but I guess scared about the future. I'm in my second semester of college and I'll hopefully be moving out of my house to move in with my friends into a townhouse somewhere near school. We all want to go into the film industry but I guess I'm just worried about how me or any of us will get there making videos locally, because we live in a small city in Florida where nothing ever happens. I don't have a job but I need to get one to even move out in the first place but I'm kinda skill-less and don't really know any place that would be good to work at that I wouldn't suck at. To make matters more complicated, by would-be girlfriend's at a christian college in town so I can never really see her (I talk to her all the time though) and she says that if she does end up quitting her school she wants to move out to Atlanta for an opportunity to be an actress and just not go to college (which I think is a big mistake) but I don't really know how to tell her that in a way that doesn't make me seem overtly attached and emotional. But she really gets me and I don't want to lose her because she turned down going to my school because of her stupid religious beliefs (which I begrudgingly respect) or because she wants a career that she might not get without a degree. She's a stubborn girl and I don't know how to talk to her about these kinds of things in a way that doesn't make me seem like a needy asshole. I guess I'm just afraid of leaving this middle class white privilege nest - and despite being fairly mature for my age, I'm still kinda just a kid who's afraid of failing and doesn't know how to succeed. I know what I want to do and I know I'm good at it and smart and talented - but I don't know how to obtain success, and I want to do it while I'm young and have time to accomplish as much as I possibly can because life's short, ya'know? I don't want to die knowing I could've done more than I did but I was just tied down by being born in a small city in the middle of nowhere with a degree from a University no one cares about but I don't want to confront the big bad world alone after getting that nowheresville degree... Sorry for the length, or the fact that my case isn't even that big a deal. I'm just whining. :/

I'm a little obsessed but I think its because I'm new to this. Summary: I met a girl I worked with, told her she was beautiful in a letter, she said it was sweet but she was starting seeing someone else. A few days passed I decided to ask her out (she said it wasn't serious and I figured what if I never do) and she said she thought it was cute and that she would say yes but she was starting to see someone else. We hugged and she walked on to her car. A week has passed and we haven't said anything to each other other than hey, hi, or the occasional awkward we caught each other looking at each other. I've already posted this before several times but the thing is that its kind of awkward now. When I told her I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen she told me something about knowing someone before I ask them out. Since then everything that I have come to know about her is kind of all the bad things. We talked about each other when I gave her the letter and I know what kind of person she is and I think she's amazing. After a week of not talking I feel like a douche. I wish I hadn't asked her out because now I feel like I just made things awkward. I'm afraid of her hating me so I don't want to try anything else. At the same time I don't want to let her go. I want her to be happy is all. How do I at least return this to normal. Obviously I can't tell her to forget the other guy. I feel stuck and don't know what to do. Love is strange. Its playing with me. Edit: The thing that really has me confused is that when she says no its in a but she wants to say yes way. Is it just me? That's kind of what I get from her telling me she kept the letter in her book she reads and saying that if things don't work out she would gladly go on a date with me.

8 years of intensive depression. 3 years on anti depressants and sleeping pills . Saw tens of shrinks. I appreciate what you trying to do , but come on give it a shot and help . So ??? Help man

Hi everyone Im an MD and have treated a lot of people for depression. Feel free to ask me if you have questions about different kinds of treatment.

Yes

Lots of things. Nothing empty words of advice could fix.

I'm a lazy piece of shit and I can't express my true self to people I know irl.

My wife kissed my friend

Yes, I am. It's about people in my life and what I've been doing myself. If I say why, it'll only make things worse for me. People I know read my posts, so I can't let them know. You can try to help based off of my very miniscule description. Good luck, trying.

Not really o .o
