I'm very depressed. I feel like no one cares about me. Like they'd be better off if I didn't exist. I can't even please my family. I'm useless. Right? A waste of space.
First of all, you don't need to please anyone girly. You are you, and you should be proud of that. Don't ever judge yourself based on the opinions of others. Be happy with yourself, and the others can shove it up there bootays.
Hey now, Mikasa Ackerman wouldn't let herself think this way. So you you shouldn't either. Everyone is important
Don't let it get to you. My mother would constantly tell me that I needed to lose weight as I was getting "fat" and that I needed to somehow miraculously clear up any blemishes I had on my face so that boys would go out with me ._. I weighed 120 and boys did actually like me, thank you very much. My point is: just figure out a way to rise above
To start with, ignore what other people say. That's the loop we always get caught up in, and that's all that ever matters in the end for most people. What other people think. Stop right there! Other people are garbage and should have no say in how you feel about yourself. The only opinion that matters is your own. Once you realise this, you need to train yourself to think positively. I am beautiful. I am capable. I am loveable. Etc. Repeat them over and over as many times as you need to. Do it every morning when you wake up, or whenever you look into a mirror. Push out the negative thoughts. Also, it doesn't hurt to apply yourself in your community. If you have free time, volunteer at your local library, set up a bake sale, see what community events are coming up that could use volunteers. As tempting as it may be to stay inside in a dark room and away from the outside world, you will never feel better about yourself unless you actually try to make yourself feel better. Going out and exercising is also good for your health. It gets your blood flowing and it releases endorphins that will make you feel happier. Plus the extra sunlight is beneficial as well. You need to push yourself, especially if you don't want to see a doctor about the problem. I wish you the best of luck, and please be safe.
Firstly go to a physician and get your vitamin levels checked if you're actually depressed. People who have deficiencies in vitamins B12 and D are susceptible to depression. Exercise daily, even if it's a stroll through a park or down the street. Spend a minimum of 30 minutes in the sun a day. Have a hobby, hobbies give a sense of fulfillment to life and make you less likely to feel useless. Surround yourself with positive people, surrounding yourself with negative and depressing personalities can bring you down. Sleep a minimum of 5 hours a night and a maximum of 8 as under sleeping and over sleeping can cause issues. If the depression gets severe enough where you have a complete lack of interest in things you enjoy, you start believing death is a good answer, you let your physical appearance go (aka you don't shower or get dressed), your body starts to hurt mysteriously (constant unexplainable muscle aches and pain), or you're chronically tired. Seek help from a physician and tell them, they will probably send you to a psychiatrist because those symptoms are indicative of major depression which is a psychological issue that's chemically based. Mild forms of depression can be treated through what I described above about vitamins and non medicinal ways of improving your mood. Medicine is not always the answer, sometimes psychiatrists are just legal drug dealers giving out medicine to people who don't need it.
Stop being dramatic try to be a good person everyone will like you them try to improve yourself first before complaining about how others don't care about you Or u can stop caring so much do whatever the hell u wanna do Being all sad about it is too depressing
Someone I can relate to, well listen up cause I'm saying this once. I once felt like that and from now and then I feel like that again, what I do is... Listen to music, if not talk to a stranger who doesn't know your problems, not just any stranger, make sure this person isn't a perv either u don't want none of those when ur going thru something like this. Talk about ur problems, it helps release from you and u don't have to carry all that weight. I personally would talk to someone I'm confident with or someone older than me that can give me advice. Many ignorants out there do not know what depression is, it can be very powerful if u allowed it and it can also cause you to isolate urself, I did that. But idk what ur going thru, just know that u r worth more than u think so, more than I can say. Learn to love yourself, be like me I was very low self steam n started posting pictures n ppl actually encouraged me by saying wow u look amazing, I never thought u looked like this. It boost up my spirit n I actually started loving n accepting myself for who I'm.
"Stop being dramatic." Really, dude? You don't know this girl. And you don't have enough information from a few simple sentences to determine her mental state. As someone who is just coming out of a major clinical depression, I can attest to the fact that it's not just being "dramatic." "Being all sad about it is too depressing." Do you think before you speak/type? Do you even know what depression is? It's pretty obvious that you've never experienced it. It's not just something you can snap your fingers and make stop. Even if you were trying to help, you just made yourself come across as being so ignorant and rude. OP, I second everything Cherry said. I would also suggest weekly sessions with a therapist. It may take some time to find one you like and who helps you. After going through several therapists for years, I finally found one that I look forward to talking to every week. Keep your chin up! You can beat this!
Honestly, sports really did help me get through a lot. Before a soccer or basketball game, I wouldn't feel nervous or dreadful of the chance at losing- I was only excited that I had something to lose myself in. I would take everything that was bothering me, and play my heart out with it. I love the two, but over the last couple of months they've became more than just sports
These threads create drama. No offense to the depression topic. But y'all think this is the right place? A public forum ?
