So, part of me wants to date really really badly (because I feel like I"m missing everything, and I feel like I'm getting left behind and by the time I'm older no one will date me because I have no experience). But at the same time, I also suffer from depression, lonliness and desperation. What I was wondering is if there is anything that I can do to hide or get rid of the depression and desperation. Because I"m pretty sure that I'm going to have depression for the rest of my life (I've had it since I was a child), and I've been told that if I can't even get rid of that, then I can never have anyone because no one will want me (because I'm depressed). So, would people understand my situation and still want to date me or should I just not even bother dating? As for the desperation, my situation is this: if I'm desperate, I find guys attractive and want to date, but they have no interest in me. but if I'm not desperate (or not interested) they find me attractive but I want nothing to do with them. what can I do to change this?
~i've already tried therapy and meds and neither worked, so other suggestions would be helpful please
First of all, you're not alone by any means. There are a lot of people in your situation. So don't feel down on yourself.
Standard dating may not work for you.you need to find a group of people. Have you tried group therapy, for example? But I dont' just mean psychiatry. There are informal support groups for people with depression where you will 'fit in' and be accepted.
I would try to find a goal in life and devote yourself to achieving it. That's how a lot of famous people who had a tendency to be depressed escaped it. People will call you obsessive for it, but isn't that better than being depressed? And you will meet other people devoted to that goal.
I've never gone thru depression stretching so long.but surely have been thru small ones crossing a lifetime. The best way I found to release it was going on long walks (you really need to do a reality check on yourself), being with friends who are more close to others.and in a broader package deal try making myself happy.mood swings are quite often so you can really push desperation/lonliness/depression down for something that more livening.
More happier the mood, more easier you find ur predicament to be.either you can think on self the solution or you can look at more broad sense the answers people provide here.
