I have been feeling depressed. I feel like carrying on and getting on with my work in lessons but I just feel like something is different. I dumped my boyfriend and maybe I feel depressed because it's weird without him. But on the other hand, I want to be free from the misery and paranoia and him lying to me. I have a very good friend who is there for me which I'm thankful for. I try to laugh and smile but still I get this depressed feeling inside of me. I'm not too depressed. I can still eat, sleep and work well. I just feel kinda depressed. Will this depression go away?

(((happycheeks)) - I'm sorry you're depressed ATM and yes breaking up with your BF can cause grief like symptoms. I think you made the right decision though and it will take time. Try to keep busy and do something you enjoy. Are you seeing a doctor for the depression? I hpe things start looking more sunny for you.

Will it go?
Well, I have no crystal ball but low moods tend to go away eventually. It often feels like it will never end though, so that may be little comfort if you feel very down right now.
If your low mood is persistent, you might think about talking to your GP about it, in case it is clinical depression requiring medical help.
Is there anyone else you can talk to? Often it helps to get somebody else's viewpoint, it can help put things in perspective.
Exercise can help too, or any other activity which makes you feel good and breaks the cycle of bad feelings - listening to music or watching your favourite TV show - anything that works for you. If you can use simple methods like that to lift your mood, it can be a great help in keeping you on track and out of the doctor's surgery.
If it is clinical depression though, don't try hiding away and hoping it will get better - if it is that serious, it will most likely get worse and make it harder to cope every day. In that situation, the sooner you seek help the better - it is a very difficult first step, but it will get you on the road to feeling better and it is much better to tackle it earlier in life than leave it for years to get worse.
Hope you start feeling better soon.

I know but for some strange reason I need people to tell me how to live my life.

Are you afraid to make mistakes?

Do you have a therapist?

Well, here are my little helps when I have a depressive episode..... I don't know if they will help you, but they sometimes help me when I'm in my pit.

*Sunshine. Try to go sit out on your porch or take a walk. The nutrients we get from the sun actually helps combat depression.
*Water. Make sure you are getting enough fluids into your system. If you (like me) don't like to drink water, then try getting those sugar free flavor packets to put into it. Your brain can't function properly if you're not giving it enough fluid.
*Eat. Not junk food, but real good for you food. Your body needs the nutrients to work properly.
*Journal or Blog. Just start typing or writing. Don't even think about it, just let the words flow. It doesn't have to make sense. Even if you stop halfway through a sentence to start the next. It makes me feel better to get all those words and thoughts out of my head. I'm able to actually relax without them bouncing around in there.

I really hope you feel better soon.

Hugs,
JJ

Trust me. I totally get how you feel. My adivice to you is that you should make a list of things you are good at that will make your heart feel warm inside and you dont need a/o to do these things, even your boyfriend who used to mean the world to you. stand in front of the mirror every night and say these sentences out loud to yourself. Then it would put a real smile on your face and whenever you feel broken, take out the list and read it. After a while, You dont need to pretend to be happy, you will be happy because of how talented you are and what a great person you are. Wherever you are able to see it, put pix of fun times with your friends that will make you smile (for real) and thik about that happy memory. A lot of artists make music that unleashes their pent up emotions about how they felt when certain things came thier way, such as Grenade by bruno mars. And try to do things with friends so it will distract u from being depressed. Remember: if your boyfriend is a loser, losing a loser is a good thing!!!
Keep smiling!!!
