I Think I Need Help
Posted: 09-14-04 22:40pm

Hi!! I think might need help. I am usually sad. Even though I hide it well. I can't remember the last time I was truely happy. I am always tired. I seem to let little things bother me. I sleep all the time. I hate myself. I hate my life.
I want to be happy. How do I do this??

Hi!! Congradulations on helping yourself. I think thats great. I have tried that. I am almost 100 lbs overweight and hate myself. I worry about what people think, or what I believe they are thinking. I am never happy, I can't seem to shake this feeling, I feel like I am worthless and have no real friends. I always believe that propel are just putting up with me, not that they really want to be around me. I don't know what is worse what people think of me or what I believe they think. I have tried to do this myself but can't . What can I do???

Making a choice to be happy is certainly a start,but sometimes there are physiological reasons for depression and a complete exam by a doctor is a good place to start to rule that out.It is true that sometimes,you can choose whether or not you are going to let something bother you,but sometimes it is not something you can control.If someone is suffering from clinical depression,you need medical attention,sometimes meds amd therapy.Please see your doctor and tell her/him what you just told us.Don't feel embarassed or ashamed,we all need help from time to time.Please see your doc soon!Patty

Bigman,i said physiological-meaning being caused by a physical problem(chemical imbalance,genetic predisposition,etc.).It is sad to see people with a mental ilness talking to themselves,but it is even sadder to see others making fun of them.No one would choose to live as they do and many have no means to get medical attention.Mental illness is every bit a disease just like diabetes and cancer and people with it need treatment and compassion,not to be laughed at or teased.Good for you on not joining in on their childish games.Patty
