Why are you depressed at the moment?

I’m not. I read Schopenhauer (or give it my best effort) when I’m depressed and it makes me feel much better.

I'm not depressed, I'm angry. Angry at myself that I can't embrace the world like so many other around me.

I'm depressed at the moment because I feel stuck. I can graduate in time this spring quarter but I have a blank resume so no one would hire me. Hell I wouldn't even hire myself. I don't even know what I want to do! I'm damn sure I'll have to stay another year to figure it all out, which is going to increase my debt and delay my wonderful plan of moving out, completely cutting off contact with my parents, and living in an apartment with everything furnished from Ikea. **** my life. :/

not being able to feel a deep connection with people.

Saaame. I have a vague idea on how I could eliminate my anxiety (by facing my triggers) and I have an idea on how to improve my self-esteem (affirmations).


But how in the heck do you improve your ability to connect with others?

younger online friends are upsetting me again and **** i feel like shooting myself in the ****ing head
but what choice do i have...them or no one offline

we're the same. i will graduate next year and the idea of job interviews and working awkwardly with people scares me big time. i dont know if i should pretend that im a cheerful person or pretend that im friendly in these interviews.
And also i hate my course and im not even good at it.
No capability + No personality=DOOM.

That's the exact reason why I'm depressed atm.

This is a good question to ask yourself. I've really been hiding from that question lately
Probably because I have begun to try and push away family, through being... not so nice, and highly reactive to my mom, along with pretty much just hiding in my room from the rest of them. Hence, loneliness increased to a new level. Although, I was pushing away because I felt like crap. I feel a lot better lately. Hopefully I can fix this

Because nothing makes sense to me this moment. I suffer being hurt.
I'm crying, I can't come out of this pain.

Because I really don't know what I want to do with my life. Recently got into an argument with my father about this - haven't spoken to him since. :🙁:

I'm just so unsure of myself right now.

I refuse to dwell on it, so I'm not saying.

was the post necessary then?

There is no such thing as an unnecessary post.

well, I dont know what, it's like saying, "I'm not going to answer this question."

I'm not sure how that helps or really contributes to the thread.

Actually, her post helped me, reminding me not to dwell on MY problems. 🙂

i am depressed because i am over the top lonely and do not know how to change it.

and that is not dwelling. just stating a glaring fact. 🙄

I am morbidly lonely, only have 2 friends, but can't cling to them 24/7 or I will end up having 0 friends. And I'm in college so every where I look I see other people having friends and being happy.

Tried to invite a few friends who i haven't spoken to in a while to an event tonight.

They invited me out last week and i couldn't go as i was ill.

When i texted one of them today to ask whether or not he was up for it, he replied 'i don't think so, matey'

To me the meaning of that is pretty obvious. Now there's really no one i can turn to, not from lectures, not from my residence.

I feel like ****...

I'm depressed because I'm so emotionally exhausted by my anxiety and panic. I feel like I'm never going to get better and I don't feel like I can put up with this forever and I don't want to any longer. Idk sihgsdjkgh

I can honestly say I haven't been depressed this last week.

Im feeling down at the moment because I have so much stuff built up inside me from over the years that I feel like Im going to explode. What makes it worst is I have no real way of getting it of my chest. Im doing my best to hide it and just get on with my daily life but its getting really hard to manage at this stage.
