Umm... hey there i guess...

lately ive been really down, i mean ive been sad before but this is different. i feel as though im not wanted by anyone around me... that my presence is annoying. im closing myself off from the people i love and i cant stop it. i feel so vulnerable and alone and its eating me from the inside out. theres no one i can talk to this about without it being brushed off like it doesnt matter. im just really hurting, im alone and some of the thoughts ive been having i know arent good, could anyone offer some help please?

See a doctor. If you have a regular doc you could go to them and ask if they think it's serious enough to have to go to a psychiatrist. Or you could just go right to a psychiatrist if you think you are really doing bad. Take some of the tests on this site and it will give you an idea of what level of depression you are at, but its not a substitute for going to a doctor. Are you sure you have no one to call? I have been depressed my whole life and i am still learning about it. Maybe try reading up on it some? Just get some help or it could get out of control. Hope you feel better soon.

Even though it is going to feel really hard, take action. Make an appointment with a couselor or therapist. Even a family doctor can help. As soon as the appointment is made you will start to feel more hopeful.

I'm sorry you are feeling like you are alone and have no one to talk to, Sephoxan. 'im unsure of what resources you have available to you, but I would third talking to a therapist or counselor, if you can, especially if you're concerned about the thoughts you're having. You can get a referral from your family doc, if you're unsure of who to contact.

I'm not sure where you are located, in the states there are a number of crisis lines you can contact, they can provide resources as well as a someone to talk to in a crisis.

Do either of those suggestions sound good to you?
