Pretty depressed...what do I do?

It seems like life is just one rejection after another. The fraternity I was vying for didn't give me a bid, a girl with over 1000 facebook friends has denied me, I'm 19 and STILL haven't had a girlfriend yetand I feel like I'm just a complete failure in every way. :( What do I do?

When I suffered depression they put me on anti depressants, they made me suicidal and so I stopped taking them. I started smoking instead, I don't recommend it but it worked for me. I just figured "Life sucks, might as well have a smoke." It will get better with time. Before you know it you'll have the girl of your dreams, just don't lose her like I did. Wow now im depressed. Thanks a lot TC. :P

Well, I could be totally wrong on this, but, I suggest you play video games. The more violent the better.

If you guys don't know, it's mostly because of the fraternity I've been hanging with for weeks on end have denied me, and I've been hanging with them longer than most of the guys who did get bids.the_plan_man

have you had problems with depression before? or is it "just" a product of recent events? I truly hope that it's the latter, otherwise the rest of your life is going to rather hard.

I went on antidepressants once and it didn't help, and neither did the professional help I was getting at the time so, I just started selfmedicating myself with pot and accepted the fact that all is s*** and that it would always be like that. It worked, for me at least, but then again we are all different.

I always felt that one of the triggers of depression is loneliness, and there is no cure for that. It can reach such heights that even when you're surrounded by people you'll still be alone.

wow, i'm drawing quite a negative picture here, let me try and turn this around. be patient, things wil clear up, it can't rain all the time you know. but for now, call a friend and get drunk... that's my advice.

It seems to me that your main problem is that you're human, we all have have our ups and downs and even though everything looks bleak thing will get better (well for some it will), and that's the beauty of life, not that I personally can find any beauty in life but then again i'm an idiot. but cheer up, you'll be happy again, even though it might not seem like it at the moment.

Get a bottle and find an easy girl.

I swear smoking does wonders, I dont know what I'd do without it. Best of all is over the counter.. sorta.

OP, it is quite obvious that many people here don't know what depression is. Depression is a medical condition. If you are depressed then you should seek medical attention. However, if you're just sad because some frat boys won't let you join their club and a girl won't be your Facebook friend then you just need to grow up and get over it. Either way, good luck.thegerg

Medical attention doesn't always help. It does for some, most even, so therefore it's a valid option, but for others there's simply no way out.

Your probably do notDepression. You just have hit a low point in your life, raise you chin and get though it

true true, my point was that it's always not as simple as "seek help". but one should at least try it and see if does.

You're only 19 brother, you got a whole life ahead of you. ;)Maniacc1

that's the worst part.

No you aren't. Disappointment =/= depression. Wanting to kill yourself for no reason at all at random times is depression. Trust me, I've been through it without telling anyone and it is a constant feeling of meanlinglessness. Disappointment on the other hand is temporary, it goes away with time and won't lead to the terrible lows of depression unless you really screwed up.
