Q: Hate life

thankyou for clicking Smile

as you can tell im not great with words
but my doctor said this might help (and im ready to try anything), so...
im 20 and iv felt deppressed for over 3 years now i hate mylife, i hate the lives most peoples live, i look at happy people and envy them i look at sad people and just hate the world even more.
you know the glass half full half empty thing? im the guy whos glass tips over and falls on his crotch so it looks like iv wet myself. i cant help seeing every little thing as depressing

i live with my mum who wants to kick me out i cant go to my dads because he kicked me out 3 months ago, im unemployed living of off incapacity benefits (which makes me eel like scum) im a few peoples friend but none of them are ever there for me, i have a gf which is probably the best thing going for me at the moment.
the thought of getting a job makes me miserable i have tried a few jobs and they made me feel worse, nothing intrests me i have no hobbys, everything just seems boring and mundane, everything i touch seems to turn to crap.
i used to cut and im not sure why iv stopped, im on prozac which like councilling and every other drug does nothing for me, iv wrote about my feelings, iv talked about my feelings iv even tried meditating.

im not sure what im hoping posting this will acheive or what i expect really i guess a bit of support/advice

i do and sometimes it helps but mostly i just end up feeling weak i try not to trust people to much just because im scared of dissapointment so i only talk to her when im feeling really bad

and my mum wants to kick me out because she thinks im lazy she doesnt understand that if i dont enjoy the job then i just end up feeling worse all of my jobs have ended in my bloodshed and it isnt something i want to force myself through again

erm tried one hated it then tried to get 1 at hospital and they basically just ignored me which made me feel a lot worse

I see..well i think you need to go to the doctors maybe get your mum to go with you so she knows how bad your feeling then maybe she won't kick you out and that is a start...Then try and open up to your gf a bit more am sure you can trust her how long you been together?...

set a goal
Don't lose your will to prove the people who look down on you wrong. DO NOT define yourself by thier opinions.
First task: Set a goal and achieve it. Do whatever it takes. Working a crappy job sucks but earning the money will get you money to move out of the house. That accomplishment will give you pride and happiness. You are in a rut because you feel like you are going no where and everyone is noticing.
Alot of things in life are hard, but if you work hard you will feel better about yourself. Set any goal and achieve.

i really hope you try it! people with depression have lost a sense of purpose and setting a goal and working to achieve it is the perfect way to solve that problem.

perhaps you are not looking to achieve the right things. Maybe you are looking to achieve the goals you think you should want to achieve to please you family or friends. The pressure of achieving to meet standards can be very tiring and when met with failure depressing. Do not place you self worth on these achievements. In your case, I would try finding a hobby, anything, something you are interested in and try it. Instead of doing something because you think you must for others, do something for yourself. But at the same time do not do these things with the intention that they will make you feel better about yourself but do them to take care of yourself. You will learn to achieve for the right reasons.
