I have so much bottled up. I feel sad , insecure most of the time. I have many friends but i feel like i can't talk to any of them about personal issues. I recently moved and i miss my old friends like crazy. It's been over 3 years since but i still miss them. They probably don't remember me anymore and here i am sad about it. I am a junior and soon i'll be in the real world. I want to do so much. I want to help all those who are in need. Help change the world. I have big dreams but how can i accomplish them if i feel like shit. I really do. i don't feel smart enough/pretty enough. I have so many people around me yet i feel alone. People say i make them happy because i'm always making them laugh but nobody seems to make ME happy.. Am i depressed? I feel happy at times but at night i start thinking and bring myself down. What can i do to improve? thanks (link)
First off, I am really glad you have big dreams, a goal to strive for. I think that you should start small first, like helping charities and others. Changing the world takes small steps.
For your depression, do not turn to self harming, it would only make it worse (experience). Try doing something that you know will make yourself proud, maybe start a project of some sort, or go to that place you have always wanted to go but never did. Or, try talking to someone. I know it seems like there is no one that would listen, but I bet someone out there would understand (maybe a friend or family?). Pouring your feelings out really helps you feel better. Also, spend some alone time. I know you're probably thinking "I feel alone enough already", but this is really important. Go to a place where you can be alone, rant about all your problems, cry until you have no tears left, then realize how beautiful this world is. How everything is made with purpose. You think you aren't good enough, but really you are the only one holding yourself down. You say you make people happy? AWESOME. That's the best quality anyone could ever have. I bet those people will be willing to make you happy too, if you'll just let them. Good luck x :)
