Hi,
i never thought i was depressed. i never was too happy and each year i´m becoming more of a loner. I was out of work for a while and felt so down and unhappy..if i´m not bust i´m unhappy.I´d like to talk to someone to see if i´´m alright. is there a recognised list of questions that i could answer to assess myself?

Hi Suzi,Thanks 4 your quick reply. I just would like to assess myself. I have been worried about myself in the past year and put it down to the usual things, splitting with girl friend, moving country(i moved to Spain at xmas) and find myself all alone most of the time with very little desire to interact and find myself making excuses so i can be alone..yet when i´m out i´m really good fun when i do go out and to all around i seen on top of the world. I am never happy where i am and keep moving on. Maybe im just an unhappy grump person and i shouldn´t be wasting your time.
what you think?

i think maybe you are under stress. sounds to me like you have had a hard year and alot of things have happened to you to make you feel this way.
sometimes when things are going sour you really have to just close your eyes and stop thinking.
the brain is the most powerful thing and can cause you to get stressed out and such. you need to take some time for your self and relax

sit back and anylize your life and what it is and whsat its becomming.
look at the good things happening and try to focus on one or two goals you have for yourself that you would like to obtain.

life is tough and things suck sometimes but as long as you trealize it wont be this way forever then things will be fine!

i recommend a great movie that may help you see what im trying to explain
its called elizabethtown and its literally a miracle worker.

and remeber "No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life"

Being happy
I think you need to take your mind off work and just relax for a while....Hang out with some friends...Have a good night sleep..Don't worry about too many things...Do something you love doing...And then go out there and look for a job. It seems like one of the main reasons that you feel bad is because you don't have work...

I know the feeling of unhappiness like you. I used to have a heap of friends in middle school and then year after year my friends get less and less and we become more and more distant to each other...I used to be confident because I had friends everywhere I went so I was never alone...But now that I'm in high school...Me and my friends are getting more and more distant from each other...We have no classes together whatsoever and I don't feel as confident as I did before... I feel more and more shy and even more lonely. I feel like everyone in my class are friends with each other and I'm the loner in the corner. I'm trying my best to cope with it...so I hope you cope with your loneliness too. Aja aja Fighting!

Lonely
I get so depressed that I hurt really really bad, I have no one to talk to that they don't understand. I just want to sleep and hold pillow really really tight, Now I get chest pains, and I think they are anxiety attacks , I had them long time ago, and thats what the doctor said they were . I am so alone and lonely , I need someone
