Q: Severly Depressed
asked by: forbsey on September 11th, 2005

I am at breaking point!

I am only 18 years old and my life is a complete mess. I have no friends what so ever, I am crying constantly, I suffer from several panic attacks in public, I am constantly laughed at by people because of my apearance and I cant stop thinking about death and suicide and how this pain would be ended if I was dead.

I cant even get out of the house to see a doctor because I am so terrified to leave the house for long time.

Please please please help me

Honestly what are you so scared of? You really need help trust me on this one. I am 20yrs old and I am bypolar. I have been depressed my whole life and it suked. I lost all my friends and I was just down right misserable. I lost my mom when I was 16 then the next yr my best friend died in a house fire then the next yr I lost a baby then the next my grandmother died. I was seriously thinking the same things as you but I got help about two yrs ago and now I am happly married and a baby on the way.

Seriously what is going on talk to me. I would hate to see another teenager dead bc everyone in this messed up world couldnt take time to help them. Well I am here for you. I will do my best to help you in any way I can.

Thanks for replying. Sorry to hear about the unfortunate things which have happened to you. Nice to see you getting on well now and all the best with the new baby :)

the main thing I am scared of is people. I was serverly bullied at school and I cant trust anyone, not even family members. I used to have loads of friends and now most of them have drifted away and I find it very difficult to meet new people. I know that I need help and I am going to try and see a doctor as soon as pos, I know that if I dont i'll end up taking my life. I cant live like this anymore.

Its comforting to know that it is possible to get out of this mess as you did, good luck for the future and god bless :wink:

Trust
Ok yeah I understand what you mean. Put it this way I am just now starting to trust people that is not easy for me to do. But I do have to try. The worst thing is I dont trust my husband and I have no reason not to.

I can however say that I became a christian and yes I know not everyone feels the same and taht is ok. But it was the real thing that brought me out of this.

Well, what is wrong with your appearance? And are you sure that they're laughing and you might not just be suffering from extreme social anxiety(imagining people making judgements about you and laughing) being worm food won't help your situation by the way. However, don't listen to useless overused cliche's like things can only get better. You're going to have to make things get better by yourself because no one can help you except for yourself. If you don't do something soon, how you sound, things will only get worse. You're going to have to see a doctor no matter what because of your depression and social anxiety. This world sucks and you should try the make the best of what you have been given. See a doctor, get on something that'll help and maybe start working out. Exercise seriously helps when you are depressed. Find something you like though so you'll keep at it.
