I am always depressed. Nothing seems funny to me anymore. I wake up and don't feel like doing anything. I'm only 18, but I feel like my life is going no where. I am spoiled. I don't want to be spoiled, it just sort of happens. I feel depressed, but I shouldn't. I am more privileged than a lot of people. Then I get more depressed because I shouldn't have anything to be depressed about. It's like a bad cycle. I want to go out and exercise, but then I just say fudge it. Anybody else the same way? Any advice?

Sorry, but you won't get any good advice out of this form other than 'drink booze'.

Just go out and do something. Out being the keyword. As much as I value computers and technology, they just aren't healthy in the long run. You're better off avoiding them if possible. And get a hobby. Hobbies are excellent and rewarding. I think people tend to underestimate their own abilities and just end up avoiding everything because they think they can't do it.

If you're into music, learn to play an instrument.

Maybe you should see a doctor about it and get on some medication. I've got an anxiety disorder and getting on the right med's increased my quality of life dramatically.

There really isn't a need for medicine imo. It's best to stay away from drugs whenever possible. Depression and anxiety can be dealt with. I suffered from anxiety and depression (hyper-ventilating). As one user stated above, going out is the best way.

Well that's gotta change. Don't live the life of an 80 year old by always staying at home and being depressed.

So your spoiled and your still depressed? How's your family life? If your family is a good family, loving, and they provide well for you then it sounds like your being a douch bag. Since it sounds like you can afford proffessional help you should do that.

Not really, most people wouldn't understand this. Depressed people, despite of having someone to care about them, are not able to express their gratitude. You start hating everyone, everything, and mostly yourself. You can't help it. You're lifestyle turns into one big pile of sh**.

I do get that. That's why I suggested proffesional help. But it does make a difference if there is some sort of emotional trama causing the depression rather than you just feel sorry for yourself for no reason.

Everything you just said is absolutely correct. On a side note your username is strangely appropriate for this thread.

Meh, some people's lives seems to be going great until they, out of no reason, start getting depressed. There is all a profound medical reason for this or so I believe.

The guy has depression and anxiety. Your advice is to stay off the drugs and go out instead. The problem is that he doesn't feel like going out in the first place, so some of the problem has to be dealt with while he's still in the house, so that he can go out. You suffered from depression and anxiety, how did you get over it?

You should really talk to someone. Often times it sounds like a weird idea to see a therapist but you would be suprised at the insight they have and what they can do to help you. They're experts at this kinda stuff.

OP, if you're feeling like that all the time and don't wanna get out of bed, it's serious. I'd see a doctor or psychiatrist. Trust me on this.

I completely agree. I think you'd be shocked at how much of the problem is just in your head. And how much a therapist can help you in that.

Well I'll tell you one thing, it doesn't help to be constantly telling yourself that your depressed all the time and you can't be happy. Changing your outlook on things can help quite a bit

You suffered from depression and anxiety, how did you get over it?

I had anxiety ad depression because I never had the urge to go outside/and hang with friends. Depression does that to people (easily fatigued). Only way to actually get over it is to force yourself to busy outside of the house. It was hard for me at first, but it worked. I was dealing with severe depression and anxiety after graduating high school.

Depression is a problem of perception not of reality, you could have the best circumstances in the world and still be depressed. Anyway I'ld say just go out and do stuff keep yourself busy and productive, this won't cure it but it will provide a distraction and that may be all you need.

I am always depressed. Nothing seems funny to me anymore. I wake up and don't feel like doing anything. I'm only 18, but I feel like my life is going no where. I am spoiled. I don't want to be spoiled, it just sort of happens. I feel depressed, but I shouldn't. I am more privileged than a lot of people. Then I get more depressed because I shouldn't have anything to be depressed about. It's like a bad cycle. I want to go out and exercise, but then I just say fudge it. Anybody else the same way? Any advice?

TonyDanzaFan

You have too much time on your hands and are very ungrateful. Better learn to count your Blessings and be thankful for what you have. Stop taking 'small' things for granted like having a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, people who care about you, not having to pay rent and utilities, being able to walk, talk and shower with no assistance. These are things you should learn to appreciate while you have them. Spend 2 weeks on the streets with no place to stay or at a homeless shelter and I guarantee you will snap out of your 'depression' and stop being 'spoiled'.

You'ld make a great therapist :roll: Depression is a matter of perception not reality, you can be better off than everybody around you and still be depressed.

Are you that moronic that you can't comprehend a simple little post? I clearly said I KNOW THAT I AM SPOILED. IF YOU READ IT, which you didn't, then you would have seen where I wrote, "I feel depressed, but I shouldn't. I am more privileged than a lot of people. Then I get more depressed because I shouldn't have anything to be depressed about." Please, please, please show me in my original post where I said I wasn't grateful? Show me! I am the most grateful person in the world, and if you had actually read what I wrote, instead of being a prick/troll, then you would have seen where I wrote that I know that I am privileged and there is no reason why I should be depressed, but I just am. Go away.

Make a point of going outside the house and doing one thing or activity no matter what it is. You will get more comfortable going out evetually.

ya go outside even if it's just walking around town. I love to go around town with just me and my music. Can sometimes make small talk with people at different places like stoplight crosswalks and so on.

Going for walks is a great way to get out. Music could potentially be bad however. If you listen to music that is slow and sad it only makes your emotions worse. If you listen to music it must be upbeat.

Sorry, but you won't get any good advice out of this form other than 'drink booze'.

Nothing takes the blues away like a depressant!

Seriously, maybe find a reason to get up in the morning. A passion... be it a hobby, person, or goal.

agreed. I forget that people even listen to that kind of music. I always listen to very intense/exciting music.

make friends, get a hobby, and just do things you enjoy doing. you know youre lucky and priveledged, take advantage of that. use the good things god gave you and make yourself happy. nobody can make you happy but you.
