Think about what you want to achieve in life. I am sure you have always had a big dream or goal you wanted to achieve. I know mine has been to go to medical school and become a doctor since I was a little kid. Think about a dream you want to accomplish and go for it. also, Think about all the hard time you are having right now a challenge that will make you stronger. That which doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

Do like I did once Leave every thing behind and Start over some where else. some where far and don't tell any one where you go just leave.

I wouldn't do xerxes said unless its really serious. Thats just running away from your problems and that doesn't solve anything.

Life is full of ups and downs it will get beeter somehow some way. Im glad to see you not thinking of killing yourself it is the cowards way out which means if you think like that it will definately get better for you one day

You know what, Life is always full of hard times and when hard times hit think of how lucky you are.

Go and volunteer and help people less fortunate than you, this should give you some perspective on life.

JUst remember that every good day is followed by a bad day.. goodluk and dont think negative.. we all get those times.. sumtimes it becomes too much but then b4 u know it.. sumthing exciting will happen in ur life and ur wories wil vanish..:) cheer up

Your probably catholic

dont commit suicide! you only live once.

Thank you all for your support. I've recently found a new hobby thats been keeping me busy. I'm still a little down, but things are starting to look better. Again, thank you.

Well obviously you have'nt lost all hope because you came here. So my suggestion would be to just tell people how you feel. Notin a screaming angry way but just tell people whats going on. Either that or go to therapy.

Sometimes I feel similar to this. It's not like you can just "Drop it and start over". And it just feels like you have NOTHING to achieve in life when your in this type of situation. And you feel that you can't tell anybody, or they'll send you somewhere. And to the many comments that say something like "Oh, every bad day is followed by a good day" - NO. It doesn't quite work that way. What helped me was a friend who was also in this position. She told me that if I stop sitting around all depressed and did something about what was happening around me, then things would change. It didn't work in an amazing amount of time, but after a while things began to clear up. I'm not sure if this would work for other people, but it helped me.

Ya, and it's a waste of time...

Meditate.
I know it sounds stupid, but trust me, getting time alone to refresh your thoughts is amazingly great. Go somewhere undistirbed, listen to soft relaxing music that doesnt speak anything you can understand, or nothing at all.
You will enter your mind to find what you're looking for. Sounds to me like you need someone close to help you go through life. Relax and think of how you will find this person. I want to help you :)
Find your dreams and what you want to achieve, where you want to be right now. Wright all this down, and forget your problems. Just enter a world of your happiness. Would you want to make love under the stars half-way across the world? Do you want to fly across the ocean in somebodies arms? Do you want to experience everything without having any guilt or worries? I know that's what we all want. Try to get there like all of us do.
Hope this helps. I love you! Be happy! And what hobby have you found?

Try moveing away to a different state, city, or town.
Get a fresh start on things...it might help

well my suggestion is to put more of your energy into something that you love to do, and i dont mean something that others can control the outcome of like gambling or dating. When i get down, i resort to writing. I have a passion for writing and its a huge release. So find a passion and change things up a little. Sometimes change is all u need :)
hope u feel better soon. hug.

Worship God, the only one. it will change your life.

Live for today. If you wanna run around the street naked with a can of beer and a big old bifta in your claws do it. There doesn't have to be a light. There are ways to make your life happier, not always better, just happier. You don't need a light. You have a life. Make of it what you will. Don't wallow in self pity and hate, go out, walk, join a golf club or just generally do something you wouldn't normally do.

My family fell apart when I was younger. I got into crime, violence, alcohol and hard drugs. I self harmed a lot during my time but I've come out the other end strong as an ox. Purely by living for today. I have the scars to prove my journey and when I look at them I think back to all the bad things that happened and then think of what I have now, my family back, a place in college, an exceptional group of friends that hold me up. Getting out and living for today is, in my opinion, the single most effective way of getting out the gutter.

This song influenced me to get my life on track.

(It's sang by a man btw so I won't grow a beard and no one's going to mother my children ;])

"One day when I'm older I will settle down
I'll buy a house in the Lake District a few miles out of town
I'll grow a beard and get myself a smoking pipe
I'll stop taking these drugs and go to sleep at night
I paint a pretty picture inside my head
And I'll think about the person who would share my bed
The mother of my children my one true love
Oh the picture starts to disappear and it all gets f***ed up
Because today is the tomorrow we thought about yesterday
And tryna plan the future is an awful way to spend a day
You can't describe magic using words..."

Congragulations! Your Depressed! See a Phyciatrist near you!

Well, it sounds to me like you have fair cause to be depressed.

Dont want to go all evangelical on you, but look into something that can connect you to some "higher" or "deeper" meaning in life beyond your temporary problems.

Something that can connect you with your good heart even while bad things are happening, that way you will always have some light to balance out the dark.

google Osho, or watch his videos on youtube..Osho was a guru. he wasn't some tacky guru u always hear about..he changed many lives. i'd really like u to watch his videos, or read some of his material on the internet..i sense that u will be drawn to his words like many people have been.

Really - talk to your family Dr. & look at some counseling, if you haven't. It does help & depression is treatable.

The words of encouragement about coping with life circumstances are good here. Keep making the best decisions you can, including the decision to keep dealing with these problems.

askmeforhelpnow:
you seem to be really stressed and really depressed.
1. you have to think good! it always helps! I understand that it might be really hard now b cuz you have family problems and friendship problems. but you have to think good... you are actually not that unlucky as you think! there are so many ppl in the world that suffer from worse problems.. SOO my advice think good
2. talk to your mom and dad.. explain them the situation. tell them how you feel about this! i am sure they will care about your opinion! they are ur family! :) they are with you all the time. (maybe you dont even realize it) but they are !
3. call some friends over, or talk to them online! i am sure it will make you come closer..
hope this helps!
