Is it normal to feel miserable, depressed and ugly/poor all the time?

[Anonymous]

I always feel this way and I'm only 21 😭

Yes

No

To be honest I feel that way a lot too. Is it normal? I don't know really. A lot of people might say they don't feel that way and that it isn't normal, but deep down they might feel that way but don't admit it.

As a side note, this is why I don't get or like cocky people, or why I never got into being cocky myself - because you never know when you'll meet your match, and when you do, you'll really feel small.

Anyway. I guess all we can really do is try to list all our problems and what we can do to solve them, one step at a time.

It has been 48 years of dealing with feelings like that for me. However, take heart that it gets--well, not better, but less relevant. Things that you thought were A Big Deal get less and less relevant as you get older.

Nice take, I have to agree, stop stressing about things you can't change, it never really gets better, and it could always be worse. Try doing 30-40 minutes a day of meditation in a closed, dark room, free from distraction or noise.

Why would you be?
There are a tons of poor people who cannot drink clean water or get enough enough nutrition or even no house.

You aren't miserable at all. That's ridiculous to feel in that way when you are living the lives which is normally wealthy.

If somebody told you you are ugly or worthless or mistreated you then it is possible.

It's normal, but it's sad if you feel that way and you should seek some help if you do.

You're like me, you're depressive and sadly probably always will be. I suppose us lot should stick together, it's not like we can't ever have happy times :)

No, that isn't normal. There's a good chance you're suffering from clinical depression. See your doctor for more info.

Already take meds and have been diagnosed with GAD, minor form of depression and PTSD.

There you go then :)

To feel like that sometimes is normal. To feel like that all the time isn't normal.

[Yanoa_Yanza]

all the time? no, not normal. That is a depression.

I'm 27 and you have just described me in perfect detail

[WhatTheHellAmy]

it's normal in the teen years lol

[es20490446e]

So what are you going to do to change it?

[Asker]

I changed my diet. Exercise. Will work on saving money. And so on.

[es20490446e]

I eat as the best, I exercise 6 times a week, and I coordinate a famous project worldwide. Because of that I can tell those are not cause but effect.

What if there was nothing to do at all?

[Asker]

So you are implying these methods will not really do anything to alleviate the situation? Or are these issues all in my head?

[es20490446e]

When do you thing you are getting to be happy?

[Asker]

How the hell am I supposed to know that?

[es20490446e]

Do you think that is going to happen at any point?

[Asker]

I don't have a crystal ball I don't know

[es20490446e]

I will put it in other way: what needs to happen for you to be happy?

[Asker]

I don't know myself

[es20490446e]

What don't you know?
