depression

13/f
I know I have a good life. I have a family that loves me, I have a lot of good friends, I get good grades in school,etc. but for some reason, I still get depressed a lot. A couple years ago, I was having extreme self esteem issues (which led to an eating disorder) and problems with my relationship with my parents and I started cutting myself. And the only people I could talk to about it weren't helping me in the way I needed. My parents don't understand what I went through then. They thought I was overreacting when I tried getting help from them.
It was hard, but I finally started to pull myself out of that state. The thing that helped the most was distracting myself with school and extracurricular activi...

Can't focus

F/19
I am about to be a sophomore in college. My whole life I have made fairly good grades up until high school. I started a bad habit of procrastinating and getting things done only at the last minute. My grades suffered a little, but ultimately I finished high school with good enough grades to get into a pretty big university. Anyway, this past year (as a freshman) my grades suffered a great deal. I couldn't focus in class, I couldn't motivate myself to do any of the work, even the night before it was due. And it's not like I party much. I hardly every went out. But when it would come down to doing my work, I TRIED to get focused and I couldn't. The week of finals, I had to write a huge paper, and sat in front of my compute...

Why do I have such huge intimacy issues?
Posted Thursday June 7 2012, 7:05 pm
It sucks because I'd love to have a boyfriend or a best friend but it seems so out of reach and out of my control. I'm 18 and it's just embarrassing that I haven't experienced such things and I feel depressed over it. I don't think it could be my looks, cause being totally honest I think I look good. The only thing I want to change is my weight, cause I'm slightly overweight, according to my BMI, but it's hard to get motivated to work out and eat healthy when I feel depressed over my adolescence. I'm 18 but I don't even feel like an adult, really. I just feel like curling into a ball and hiding away from everyone. It's hard to even get motivation to clean my room. But my mom exaggerates my room being messy when I think my mental state is fa...

Can you be successful after defeating depression?
Posted Saturday June 2 2012, 9:20 pm
How far can I go after beating depression? Is there still hope for someone after facing that to ever be really successful? I'm 18 btw. I know it's stupid but my perfectionism and depression have caused my time in high school to just be a downward spiral. I'm going to community college in the Fall, but I'm planning on transferring after 1-2 years to a good university and etc.
But I just feel defeated already. I'm trying hard to focus on the present instead of only seeing the end point, reaching my dreams, getting up to my PhD, getting in relationship (never have), and getting a good job. But I don't even know if it's possible when I've messed up like this. It's like, I'm very hard working and meticulous when I'm focused, but ...

How do I move on when I'm so angry and ashamed of my past?
Posted Sunday May 20 2012, 6:23 pm
And how I could have done things better, so I wouldn't be this stressed out and unhappy. I basically have ruined my life. I feel like my life only progressively gets worse, because I allow it. I was happiest in early childhood, things started progressively getting worse after elementary school, all because I allowed it. I allowed myself to procrastinate and not participate in enough school events and have enough hobbies and that's been my downfall. I'm 18 now and i'm just so mad and I have dreams but how can I just forget the past?? but I want to but it's just so painful looking back, because as a kid I thought I'd have the typical teen experience with friends and everything and yet I didn't do that. I know some things are out of my control...

Failure
Posted Thursday May 10 2012, 5:09 pm
I feel like I am a failure at everything that I do. Everything I do seems to turn to crap. I was married and the skank left me, got pregnant by the guy she was screwing, and married a guy and has 2-3 successful business.
My brother has a successful computer business, and I have been struggling to get any number of business off the ground. I already had to close one, and cant seem to get the other three to do anything.
Everybody around me has money where I can't even keep a job. My job has been: quit, fired, fired, lost business, fired, fired, fired, fired, and now I am making less then I have made in the past 10 years. I want children, but can't, libido is in the crapper, I have jumped up to over 450lbs, can't ...

How can you make yourself go to sleep when your not tired?
Posted Thursday May 10 2012, 4:55 pm
I try to make myself go to sleep early and everything. But I just lay in my bed tossing & turning trying to make myself go to sleep. I have to wake up at 5 a.m in the morning and I always oversleep. When my alarm clock goes off I just turn it off and go back to bed. It takes like 30 minutes to an hour for me to go to sleep once I lay down. How can I make myself go to sleep early?

forgetfullness?? whats wrong??
Posted Tuesday May 8 2012, 10:26 pm
Hi there.
I have a question and I hope someone on here can answer it.
First off, my boyfriend is 19 years old, all his life he hasn't had a great memory (he's never had any brain damage, head trauma's, ect) but he did have ADD; He got put on medication for it, and he just stopped taking it because his sister made fun of him; and called him a zombie.
Anyways, we've been together for almost 2 years, and it's starting to worry me. He gets so upset because when I ask him to do something for me (clean, laundry, pick up something, ect) and he says he forgot; and I'll say he's using it as an excuse; he says he really isn't, and he can't help that he forgets, and if he could remember stuff, he would. He ...
