Why do i find myself depressed or "sad" so much?
Question:
Answers:
sounds like you have a tough time thru your life. going to a counselor or an adult you feel comforable with and talking about these things will help. sounds like you do have depression going on and a counselor (mental heath resource center) could get you the help you need they go on your ability or inabilty to pay so that would not be a big problem. but i would definitly seek out some help if you have a medical doctor you can also ask his /her advice on your options if nothing else things will get better if you seek some help. good luck and god bless!
Depression, go get it checked out.seriously...they have treatments for it...
well the short answer is you take life too serious
lack confidence that all of life will work out fine
throw yourself into your studies and let a few months flow past you ... its not your fault what happened
First, keeping things bottled in isnt going to help anything. Either talk to your dad about it, or find some one thats good for you. And no, not every single hot girl out there is the right one for you. Theres not to much WE can say to do about your problem. But let the past be the past and live your life from now and further. No reason to dread on whats happened and gone. Trust me, finding some one that trusts you and talks to you will make everything better.
If glass of water is dirty, change it. Meaning, change your thiking to positive one by talking to reliable person of your trouble.
find a cause that you really care about. we youths must regain inspiration. we could change the world. its sad and scary out there. hold strength. be sweet and hopefull but dont lose your gameface just in case. sensitivity in masculinity is a balance that is hard to hold. dont beleive the hype. be you. relax. good luck
first of u r not a b1tch the way u feel, it is a growing process, i went through it, and i am telling u by the time u hit 18, all this stuff u wil understand a little better, i don know the scentific notions to why u feel the way u do, my response might be pretty useless to u, the answers if i can tell u, r not written in any book, which is the worst part of it all, i am 18 to be 19, and i went through al this, i never really dated til this year, coz i felt i was not good enough and those thots showed and my relationship has not worked out, or lasted that long, but all i can say is, talking bout it or expressing it can help. u could try writing, that helped me, coz at times when u talk to people who have not experienced may think u r being negative, i could be an email buddy of yours, it could help maybe u could tell me, and i could help u where i can,i know that i didnt really answer ur question but i want to let u know, u do get over it and things do get to be a bit brighter,this is how life is u need bad experiences to get good ones, life cant all be sweet and it is never sour alwys if u get what i mean.
Don't feel like that. Sounds like you have a lot of unresolved stuff on your mind. Try writing in a journal about how you feel and situations you've experienced. Try to think about what you were supposed to learn from it and write that down. Commit to what you feel you should gain from the situation which is a more mature and realistic view of life. Write what you feel life should be about and how you will be different from your mother and possibly more supportive than your father in the future. Find a counselor or teacher at school that will let you talk to them when you need to. Just so you know, you could be feeling sad all the time because of hormones. Sometimes teenagers get strange mixtures of them while growing and it may pass if you can get some support through it. Try not to think too much about stuff that doesn't seem to be working out for you. Try to teach yourself that whatever's happening now is for the best and things will work out in the end. Try not to make everyone else happy, focus on what makes you happy and live for it. No one is going to know what will make you happy but you. Everything is unfolding as it should.
Some eastern philosophies suggests that suffering is the result of wanting. Thinking, also, things should be a certain way, that things are bad, that you are bad, that people are inherently bad and should be punished (rather than reasoned with) even as a preventative measure. Pursuing goals without enjoying life as it is. Waiting for things.
The key isn't to not have goals, and it isn't about being "greatful" for existence. I like goals, and gratitude comes on its own. The point is, though, that expectations and wants lead to dissapointment. It sounds very like slacker-theory when I try to explain it...
anyway
Don't listen to that Walter guy or whatever his name was. He doesn't know what he's talkin' about.
But it sounds to me like you basically answered the question yourself. (Your family, stressful situations in your life.)
Getting out will help, probably. Medication maybe will help. Therapy will almost definitely help (a little). But I've been there. Life is tough. And it doesn't help much, does it, having people telling you to cheer up, that you're dwelling, that you're making things harder than they are, that you're ungreatful, that there is something wrong with You for feeling angry or sad or even depressed, even well meaning things like: maybe just go ride a bike, why don't you just convince yourself you're happy, just change your mind, think on the bright side, etc. etc. Sound anything like the stuff your family, friends, teachers, (and even you) tell you?
There's this book I read. Sort of a zen approach to teenage issues called "There's Nothing Wrong With You: For Teens" it's not exactly Dr. Phil (which is great, because I read his books, too, and they didn't really help.) You might want to try reading it; I found it very insightful and not at all presuming, blaming, or demanding. I liked the teen version because it related particularly to teen issues, parents, school, even stuff like divorce. But it's not a Chicken Soup book, so to speak.
Really, I fully suggest it. Please try it? I'm also starting to read another one she wrote called Depression... but I don't know how it is yet.
Sadness is better than happiness .. Life is a constant struggle. The person to be depressed is the one who dont have any problems or struggle...
First of all, You have got to get things straightened out within you. Understand that you may have had a cruel childhood but your adulthood doesn't have to end up like that. Forget about your mom and think of the things you truly value..maybe you and your sister. after, think of what is best for you, going to college maybe because seriously, college is your only way out of life unless your a millionaire. Do you really want your life to be a waste? Imagine yourself working at the 7 eleven at 40 years old, making minimum wage, trying to pay the bills to support your family-your children. Life is so depressing that way especially if you had the opportunity to go to college. Don't drop out. It is extremely hard to get out of a difficult situation but trust me, if you do this, you will never regret it! Need money? Go to FAFSA.com or get a student loan. Life may seem really hard. Think of life as if you were laying down with a lots of rocks over you. The hardest part is getting up but once you are standing, it will be easier. And after you have straightened your life up, go seek a girl! And Don't do weed, that stuff is just killing you and bringing you even more down! Instead go take walks and just think of little ways to improve yourself! Hope I helped!
Deal with it quickly. Exercise and all that can help, but find someone to talk to. Start with your doctor, maybe he can refer you on to a youth councilor, but act fast, the nights crying is a huge flag, act now dont wait..sorry your mum bailed when you were so young... but fight this with all your energy and maybe you will get through it before it becomes the norm for you, good luck.act today/tomorrow no later
