Depression Understood Forums

Woah, woah...hey, I know it sucks in this world where everyone acts like happiness is what you need to have and you don't have anything if you don't have a romantic love life and happiness and everything...but that's not true. The point of life isn't to be happy. It's to make progress. And sometimes...

I hate to say it, (you probably don't want to hear this) but if she is acting that way(swearing, criticizing you, putting you down, etc.), maybe she is not so great after all. It's just you are attached to the idea of being with her in your mind. It seems like more, but that is all. Don't worry abou...

I've also lost myself puzzling over how unfair life is and how it all seems so unfair...but I don't think life was made to be particularly happy. Job said, "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble." But remember that many of the things that seem to matter so much really don't ...

Don't give up on yourself. You sound like a very strong person. Yeah, you might've made some mistakes in the past, but part of it is to blame on the people around you. Everyone is breakable. A lot of people would've caved and had to resort to something if they were under the circumstances you were. ...

...wow, I am sorry all this is going on. That is a lot to be dealing with on your own. You shouldn't have to deal with that also considering all the responsibility you have. Isn't there anyone you can tell about the abuse besides your mom? Because...really, if he is doing that, maybe he should have ...

Thanks Lisa...I've been thinking. I am not for sure where I want to go, but I suppose that could be true about finding people who share your interests. That's why I want to go somewhere really big because I go to a pretty small school now and it is hard considering also I'm kind of an eccentric pers...

You shouldn't think like that. The point of life isn't success or how high up you are class-wise. Those are just things that help add to the real purpose of life, which is being together and enjoying life while you still have it. Isn't it kind of defeating the purpose if all you do is obsess over wh...

Maybe...I think being restless, yeah, is a sign that you are not content with your life or maybe that you are nervous. If you really enjoyed any of the things in your day, you would not be so impatient to move on. I am restless a lot of the time as well.

Defectiveness...I can relate. I have been there. Just remember there are lots of people who feel good about themselves that are much worse than you are. Many of the things that you criticize yourself for are harsh things to pick out. Don't pray to die. If you are going to pray, ask why you are alive...

Hi, I'm actually new to this. I'm missvelia. It's late, and I should be working on the pile of homework I still have to do, but I have to get this off my chest. Please read and help in some way because I could seriously burn everything I loved and shoot myself into a hole right now. I've been depres...
