Hello I have been depressed for over more than 2 or 3 years. I'm 23 very less friends no boyfriend and my parents don't understand me. I have this crazy schedule at the university. It's tough everyday to put a happy brave face in front of everybody and deep inside I'm dying. Its like I'm waiting that one day this phase will pass but it never does. It remains the same. I don't know how to carry on feel like to end it all .....
Not easy feeling that way! Being at University is an amazing accomplishment; remind yourself of that. Seems like everyone these days is out to do better than the next person, which often leads one feeling unfulfilled for fear of not meeting the expectations of both themselves and others.
Everybody experiences depression throughout different periods of their life. But how we allow it to control us and the servility and length of time, is what determines how susceptible we are prone to it in our developing lives.
Accept the fact that just because your feeling sad, that this does not make you an outcast. Perhaps others, whom would much prefer to be bouncing of the walls with their seemingly inexhaustible high levels of energy, avoid those of us whom cannot jump as high.
The fact the your putting on a brave face, shows that you probably know how the dynamics of the way we feel can affect others around us. Being misunderstood is often a result.
I really don't know what to say, other than break down how depression affects us, and others around us. Re-evaluation can help ... Why and What are the root causes? Do I really want to be hear doing this, what other options do I have. Could thing be worse? .. and so on.

When feeling down for years at a time, we loose the strength to give ourselves the required push in order to open ourselves up to a higher state in which we are able to reason and discern what is going on around us ... During such times we should give ourselves a break and rid ourselves of whatever pressures keep us from treading water. Hence that re-evaluation I was talking about comes in good there.
I'm no shrink or wanabe ... I'm just someone who is depressed and often prone to suicidal thoughts struggling to get by in a world I wish I was never born in. None the less, I am do what I can to breath. I'm done with trying to "aspire" ... I am very "anti societal" ... I am done with all this striving to be more than we are ... to get that JOB and make the economy spin and bla bla bla
That's my story and I don't wish to drag you down ... I do know however, that whilst feeling there is no way out, that the air is getting thinner and life can seem so pointless, that it all comes down ... to what we allow ourselves to think.
When I can no longer think straight ... then something must give. For me I change my whole perception.
Take care and good luck. Even when we have nothing, there is always something to be thankful for. In many cases the less we have, the more we can be thankful for.
