Am i depresed

Babu797 · Feb 08, 2013, 06:15 PM

I've been crying for over a year now but in a way i can't understand. It's like I can't stop . I wake up red eyed and teary.I hate living.

I'm 19 and never had a girlfriend. I have no real friends. I have no job. Basically nothing

It sounds like you are, but only a doctor can diagnose you. Your distress may not be depression, but just things going on in your life that you are not happy with. You could have a talk with your family doctor. A therapist or psychiatrist will be able to tell you more about depression.

Well I have to usually imagine myself cuddling with someone to fall asleep.I get depressed sitting at home on weekends. But it was like after some event happened around december last year i just snapped and all my emotions came out.

You have a clean slate then Babu if you have nothing. I can hear the despair and imagine the fear your going thru but we all have to build a life at some time and it is hugely scary. Most of my friends were people Ive worked with even tho I didnt hit it off with all of them and quite often I felt terrible about myself being with them but at least I was learning who I am as it went. Growing means learning. This isnt meant to make you feel that you can just snap out of your feelings cause I know its not that easy. What I am trying to say is that you are 19. Give yourself a chance.

I hope you can find a good therapist.

It sounds like there is stuff missing in your life that is upsetting you. Have you tried looking for a job somewhere? Having something to do to keep you busy may help make you feel better. Also making some money could help with your gf problem. Not having a job or any money makes it difficult to go out on a date. College may be another thing to make you feel better. To be around people with similar interest makes it easier to make friends.
