I am 17 years old and I have a life that
some only dream of.
I have wonderful parents who are very
supportive, a boyfriend who loves me who
wants nothing more then to make me smile,
a bed to sleep in, and food in the fridge.
But for some reason Im still not happy.
I am very mature for my age. I know it and
many people have told me.
I understand life, and everything that
goes with it. But I am always sad.
I relized that I do not know who I am
..
I dont know what I want out of life
I dont know where I want to be
I dont know what I like and dis-like
I dont even know what my favorite color
is..
Everybody knows there favorite color..
right?
I know that everyone goes through this in
life, and I am sure it will take a long
time to figure myself out. I see people,
like my parents and my boyfriend, who know
what they want to do in life, and what
they want out of it. My Father said it
took him a while to figure it all out, but
my boyfriend is only 22 and he has it all
figured out. I just have a strong urge to
get this all figured out, right now, at
this point in my life.
I need a hobby
I need a career choice
I need some wants
I just dont know where to start looking.
I have been so upset about this latly,
that all I can do is lay in bed, or sit
infront of the t.v
I have lost all interest in anything
I really do need a hobby. But I have tryed
so many different things and none of them
fit me
I dont have a creative mind
I dont have an orginized mind
I dont have a physical body
I am just so... soo.... BLAH

Tanis,,
I just thought about this the other day
what really is my favorite color.. and I
could not come up with just one color, so
I don't know my favorite color either. And
I way older than you..
I do think you may have some sort of
depression. Did you use to have a hobby
you liked and now just don't do it? Or
have you never one.
All the things you say you never had, did
you once have? If so then yes you are
going through some form of depression.. If
not, I would say just try and thing of
something you might like and give it a
try. If it isn't for you think of another
one to try.
Though out my years of life. I have tried
several things just to find out it was not
for me.
I do think it might be a good idea to talk
to a consular. May at school. Don't keep
if bottled up talk about it.. even in here
will help!

Depression... Posted: 05-14-07 01:10am
Very common feelings you have. Lots of
anxiety, which leads to depression. Can
stem from uncertainty, etc.
Like most chronic conditions and their
symptoms, there is not one single cause
for depression. Rather, there are several
different factors which can contribute to
and cause depression. When depression is
not a by-product of external events, it is
called endogenous, meaning “originating
from within.” This kind of depression is
believed to be fundamentally due to
biochemical abnormalities,specifically an
altered balance of the neurotransmitters
serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
This imbalance may occur in a number of
different ways.
