I'm so sad all the time?

[Anonymous]

I feel like im depressed. Never been officially diagnosed but all the signs are there. I can't get up, no energy and I want to die. I don't harm myself physically but mentally I'm broken. Its hard to explain but I hope you get it.

Im not suicidal but I just don't want to live anymore. Everyone thinks I'm happy when I'm really not. Things get to me real fast. I fake the biggest smile but break down at home. I feel like if I died, nobody would miss me or notice. It hurts a lot to think about it. I'm in physical pain a lot lately. My whole body is sore and i get the worst headaches. I'm tired non-stop and the list goes on.

I really need this to stop because at this point, I'm scared I might hurt myself.
What do I do? I've reached the end of the line?

If anybody needs more information just ask

You might need some kind of professional diagnosis. You might have a genuine chemical imbalance or something of that sort. A lot of people don't take these kinds of things very seriously, confusing it for some sort of weakness, and that can fuel your depression.

Short of professional help, all I can suggest is that mental well-being and physical well-being go hand in hand. As much as it might be difficult with the constant headaches and such, it might be good to force yourself to exercise and try to fall in love with some kind of outdoor activity.

It's also just good to fall in love with anything. A hobby, anything -- something that motivates you to wake up and do something -- sport, art, music, whatever.

Ok so you are depressed. Get help. Get therapy. Get meds. Get good.
(formerly diagnosed with clinical depres).

Also the physical pain and tiredness if definitely a sign of depression or anxiety so I would definitely get help asap before it gets worse.

You know that the success rate isn't that high

[Jon_Gre_g]

@Dingsbums Better try and fail than not try at all?

[Dingsbums]

Sure but everyone just says get some help but I'm sure she won't go

[Jon_Gre_g]

@Dingsbums Although talking helps to a certain extent it is no real substitute for a professional diagnosis. It takes guts to actually seek help though I agree.

[Dingsbums]

Yeah talking doesn't help just wanted to talk with her because of personal interest. It's normally the parents who notice that there is something wrong with their kid but it's usually too late.. agree they already cut themselves

[Dingsbums]

Agree=after

I know how you feel, you should get help. If you can that would be great! I know I should get help too but I really don't want to as I can't face it so I understand if you struggle but it would be amazing if you do. If you don't I would just say that you should try to ride out the really bad times and just try to take things step by step. Ahh it's not good is it but I think you will be missed and you gotta take it as a challenge that you can get through it

1smooth28 the best thing to do when your sad is to keep yourself busy and do things for others

[1smooth28]

SunnyCaliGirl!! I think you are my guardian angel :)

[Dingsbums]

You need to talk and find something that motivates you

[Asker]

I find it really hard to stay motivated for longer periods of time. As for the talking, I wouldn't want to bother anyone because i feel like they wouldn't care anyways..

[Dingsbums]

I know it's difficult to find something that motivates you. Do you still have feelings?(like anger happiness sadness?)
And by the way I wouldn't mind talking to you. I already texted with a handful depressed girls because I find the topic interesting

[Asker]

Thats nice :) thanks. If you really dont mind talking about it, id like that a lot :)

[Dingsbums]

Just write me. I don't mind talking with you

[Asker]

[Dingsbums]

What emotion do you usually feel? I'm kinda in the same boat do to loneliness.

[Asker]

At school and with people I act really happy and forget my sadness for a while. Then I get home, im either bored with nothing to do or im alone, reflecting on how the day went. Probably overthinking too. At night all I feel is sadness and sometimes my heart actually hurts. I just feek really alone, empty, worthless and sad...

But when thinking. what's the thing you wish you had that would put a smile on your face. And please don't say "Nothing makes me smile." Because that's not true. think REAL hard. what do you want when you feel like this at night?

[Asker]

Im might sound very desperate but id like a boyfriend. Or a good male friend. Not for the physical things but just because it seems like a male's brain works differently from girls' brains. I want a guy to talk to. A nice, genuine person who won't hurt me after I opened up

[Opinion Owner]

Well. That's what we all want. So I hope there's some comfort in knowing that you're not alone in what you want. How old are you?
