I am always always depressed. I find myself constantly upset and moody. I have very little self confidence and right now I am in a rocky patch with my friends so I feel even worse. My boyfriend and everyone around me tells me that I am pretty and people like me but I don't feel that way.

c_assi_e_x_12 answered Friday November 5 2004, 6:58 pm: I know how feel. I'm going through the EXACT same thing as you. You really do have depression. I reccommend you go to your doctor and get some medicaton. It may sound like such a bad thing and your probably thinking "i feel like a psycho" because that's how most people in this situation feel. Don't feel that way you just have something wrong with your brain. It's just another body part so don't feel guilty. I mean do you feel guilty if you go to the doctor's for a sore throat? So yes definately get medication and/or try counciling. It's good to talk all of your problems out. Well hope I helped!!
lilangelshan08 answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 3:19 pm: i know how you feel, everyone who said that you should go see a docotor or get on meds doesn't really understand that it's not that easy. and yes it's a good thing for people to tell you that you're pretty and people like you, but that's not all that you need, you need someone (even if it's just one person) to SHOW you these things. everyone person who is depressed is that way for a different reason, and though they are all good reasons they can't all be solved the same way. i could help you better if i knew more about what was wrong, if you want you can IM me on AIM and talk to me, you may not believe me but i've had a lot of experience with depression, i've been like that for a very long time, sexishanibabe08 is my sn if you want to talk, if you feel like you got nowhere to turn i'll be here to talk to you whenever you need it

ps. don't let your depression led to anything stupid, a kid at my school killed himself last night at 11, he drove into the school building, because he unhappy, no matter how depressed you are someone loves you [ lilangelshan08's advice column | Ask lilangelshan08 A Question ]
deleriousone answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 2:44 pm: if you are feeling depressed you should probabbly seek psychiatric help or one person you can talk to because I myself have a depression problem and it is hard to get advice from more than one person because people deal with depression in diffrent ways [ deleriousone's advice column | Ask deleriousone A Question ]
SuddenlyFem answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 1:38 pm: People telling someone that they are attractive does not always help how a person feels about themselves. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror ask yourself why dont you like yourself. You should be able to come up with some really good reasons. ( Im not talking about i hate my hair or the color of my eyes or even your nose) I am talkin about real true things. Only then can you truely have confidence. You cant believe anyone around you untill you believe yourself. [ SuddenlyFem's advice column | Ask SuddenlyFem A Question ]

TucanFullOfHoles answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 12:23 pm: sure feeling pretty is always nice, but thats not really what is causing these feelings now is it?
Depression is caused by a chemical inbalance that you can't control. It's not wrong to be depressed. There are medications you can take but they have to be prescibed by a doctor.
Christine answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 12:12 pm: Try talking to someone about it. Tell a friend about problems you might be having and whats all on your mind. It works for everyone eles so it should work for you 2.
BJ2004 answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 12:00 pm: i think that you should go see a doctor and get something perscribed to you. talk to your mom. another thing you could do is hang out with yourfriends go to a party throw a party just have fun with life!

AskAndy answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 11:36 am: Your boyfriend loves you for you. Your a good person and remember its not what others think about you,its the way you feel about yourself.If you appear confident,more people will see you thatway and you'll wake new friends.Strut what you got,be friendly.You need to be kind and friendly to get friends,and for your old friends,say bye to them if they don't like you. You deserve better than that. [ AskAndy's advice column | Ask AskAndy A Question ]
MFS answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 11:23 am: Perhaps you should stop listening to yourself and try listening to others? Don't beat yourself up - don't sit there and cound your flaws - I see too many people too quick to list everything wrong with them, yet they are totally unwilling to reciporocate and list everything right about themselves. Don't unfairly compare yourself to others, either - no two people are the same, thus comparisons as such prove fruitless, if not frustrating.<br>

Don't be afraid to talk to someone about this. Likely, you're probalby feeling quite normal things during a time when life pretty much feels like it is getting turned upside-down. It is better to get thigns off your chest than to let it hide down inside you, simmering until you explode. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
