I'm an 18-year-old female and I'm really lonely. I have friends but I don't feel like they really care about me or would mind if I wasn't around. I've tried talking to them about how I feel and they don't listen. My parents are the same. I don't like my personality or how I look but I can't seem to change it. I try to be social but I just end up feeling miserable. I was diagnosed with depression and had some councilling but it just made me feel worse and when I went back to my doctor, she just sent me away with a reccomendation for more. I feel sad and isolated all the time and I don't know what to do.

You can't think negatively because if you do you'll make the situation worst & you'll make yourself feel worst also try to think positively even though it won't be easy everyone has things they don't like about themselves or they'd like to change it's normal to feel that way but you can't let it get the best of you your in control of your life and only you if you don't like something change whatever you aren't satisfied with until you are if your friends act like that then they don't deserve to be your friends you deserve better one's who will treat you better tell your parents you'd like it if they took the time out to hear what you've got to say and listen as far as feeling isolated you could get your license that way you'll have more freedom to do what you want try & be confident and believe in yourself don't let the fact that you got diagnosed with depression take over your life(:

(Rating: 2) I meant isolated in a mental sense, not physical. It's not as easy as 'thinking postively'. Depression is triggered by a chemical imbalance in the brain, you can't just try and think positively and solve everything.
