Answers:
It is okay it is not your fault. Your age is quite typical to have a depression come on. It is probably a biochemical thing. Go and get to a psychiatrist. They can help you with medication and counselling. They can help you and are there for you. Many people your age have this problem. It is not fair because you are right at your prime and busy, but this is a normal time for it to come on. Once you get these chemicals in your brain working for you the rest will settle out. You can work on coping in counselling and things will get so much better. You will be able to concentrate better and you will be able to make friends better.

talk to your councellor in medical school they will get you on some sort of treatment, you cant treat other people when you do that to yourself. I have one friend, the man i love. you dont need friends when you are in medical school you need to concentrate, people are not that important.
go and talk to your doctor, my freind recently hung himself and i wish he could see what hes left behind now !
go to the psyche doc quickly - get some meds and feel good -

Consult someone. They always have the help line for you to call and talk about why you are feeling that way. Exercising helps too. Try to think what is the best thing that have happen in your life and always stay happy.Do not think of the past.. Plan for the future because you can't change the past and you can't change the world. There is so much wonderful thing in this world to do... Sometimes you have to be selfish and think about yourself not others.Hope this help you not to think of ending it.. Life is great. Life is a journey not a race.. Take it the way it is....
Take a day off! Get all dressed up, go to a Starbucks and have a coffee.
Exercise today.
Sit down, and talk to some people with bigger problems than you think you have.
Be thankful for what you DO have rather than what you do not.
Your parents are not the world, you are the world to you.
Try to make a friends and just don't pour all of your troubles on him in one go. Let him understand you and your problem and then you will go along towards a happy life. If someone likes you and let him be with you. Friends always are a source of encouragement and sharing the good and bad times.
you said that you are a med student.If you are feeling this way than I don't understand why you don't seek professional help.Go to your doctor and see if you can get medical help and also some therapy.Trust me I am not in the medical field but I know that depression is a disease that can and should be treated.
I know how you feel, I felt relief cutting myslef in a situation I felt most people would have not survived.
it is seeing the pain inside on the outside.
we should meet.
dont do it anymore until we talk.
surviving yourself can be hard.

Might need to see a Psychiatrist for medication. Exercise also raises your dopamine & may make you feel better. I count my blessings, I call it gratitudes, but anytime these symtoms persist for more than 2 wks. you need to see a Dr. you have classic symptoms of Clinical Depression or Bipolar Disorder. Isolation, cutting,suicidal, loss of focus. Plz promise me you'll see a Doc ASAP!
tell your psychologist you're not coping and maybe they can change your treatment to help you more. try doing things that you enjoy or try something new. good luck!
I have a friend who do this all the time. Whenever she breaks up with her boyfriend, she cuts herself...According to her, she cuts herself to help her forget about the pain she is feeling in her heart. So instead of a heartache, she'll have cuts instead (ouch).
I think you're a bit lonely since both your friends and parents aren't always there. Its normal to feel alone and unwanted, I think everyone goes through that phase. But remember, you live for yourself, not for others. Your happiness is from within you not from others.
Try to find things that you like and enjoy. You don't always needs company to feel great. Spend sometime alone, watch tv or read a good book.
If you really need someone to talk to and your parents and friends are too busy go see a councilor, that's what they're there for. Don't blame your parents and your friends, they also have problems of their own.
This is just part of our battle in life. Don't lose this battle.
There are a number of steps for you:
1- Try getting a new hair cut, new clothes in short a new look.
2- Join an activity at or near your school, you will meet people and eventually make friends and you will at least enjoy the activity itself.
3- Do not let a day pass without doing something that you thoroughly enjoy, be it a movie, a meal or an outing, you choose!
4- Keep in touch with your old friends, just drop them a line every now and then.
Try concentrating on what you have to do day by day. limit the amount of pressure you put on yourself. Achieve small goals, limit the large goals. Isolation comes with intelligence, don't try to achieve what others have. Work out what you have in your life and what you want to achieve. Concentrate on yourself and limit your thoughts on what you believe others are thinking. Try not to over think life situations. Keep yourself busy, but leave time during the day to reflect. You are trying to cut something out of your mind, ask questions about how to overcome your past, deal with the present and live in the future. All good people are wanted and needed, stay healthy live and let the world love you for who you are. I will write if you do.
i'm 23 and feel the same way. i'm in therapy. my therapist called my cutting "extensive" last week in session. i'm being sent to a psychiatrist for more medication/evaluation. i'm on celexa currently, that's an antidepressant but it isn't doing anything. we also discussed last week that i may need to go inpatient. i've actually reached a point where i'm so tired i don't have the energy to plan suicide, i just wish someone would put me out of my misery. i guess i'm just sharing to let you know you are not alone and if you are not in therapy, get some. i feel like i currently just live for mondays, therapy day. good luck to you, i hope you find some relief.
