Question Posted Friday March 11 2005, 12:30 am

I feel like my life can't get any lower. Everything I was good at I am no longer good at. No matter how hard I try people are always a lot better. My grades are slipping and nothing I do makes me happy. I hate my life and I just want to stay in my room and be alone forever. What do I do?

You should talk to someone. Tell your parents how you've been feeling, maybe ask them if you can see a counselor. Or you could talk to a friend, maybe there's no need for a counselor. Sometimes friends can be just as helpful. Also, you could write your feelings in a journal or something. Remember, nobody's perfect. You're probably trying too hard, and stressing yourself out. I do that a lot.

Hope I helped.

I know exactly how you feel. You didn't say your age but a lot of teenagers go through what you're feeling as they grow up. You probably feel alone and like no one else knows how you feel but honestly, it is just a phase. I am a lot like you and I find that whenever I feel this way I just have to speak to my friends. Try and find the thing that makes you happy, for me it's my friends but for you it could be something different. Concentrate on that thing and try to improve everything else, as long as you hang on to that thing that makes you happy you will be okay. It sounds strange but honestly, to me my friends are my life line, find yours and you will be fine.

Well honestly you can't keep yourself down.Look i was just like you about 1 year ago and i never wanted to leave the comfort of my room.But being in your room all your gunna do is realize everything you have done wrong.I think you need to get out there and find new things your good at and find new ways to bring excitement to your life again cause you have the rest of your life ahead of you but you won't go any where if your in your room.

hope i helped

I used to be like that 24/7. but since i went to church to spend time with my friends, and God, its been a lot better. I am a Christian, so when I go to church its a lot of fun. we play games, eat candy and crap, and the youth leader is 26 years old. hes young and fun. He is even the lead singer of the band we have at our church. there are tons of christian rock bands that are flippin awesome. you should check out some of their material. if you know any friends that are christian, maybe ask them if you can go with them to chruch or if they have it, Youth Group. Believe me, they will be happy to bring you. God can always make you feel like you are worth something. God loves you more that anything. he CREATED you, he is your dad. if you find a relationship with God then you will live for eternity. if you want me to talk to you more about this, or have any questions, please feel free to im me, or email me.

See if your doctor can perscribe a medication to you or go talk to your guidance counsler or parents. I have to take Zoloft every day because if I don't I feel like what you described, everyday. If you don't want to do any of that, try writing it really helps. Do stuff that will make you happy.

Well don't compare yourself to others thats a big part on what makes you feel low.
Maybe try just thinking on the bright side and see if that works.
If you're good at somthing do it for fun first and if you think you'll get somewhere with it work alittle harder, but don't compare yourself to others. That never helps.

TheTeenGirl answered Friday March 11 2005, 1:44 am:
Well, I can't say that I was no longer good at things, but I can tell you from experiance that being locked up in your room forever is the farest you can get from being happy again, I also can say that I use to think people were better than me at things, but these are just thoughts, if you keep having this thought linger your mind, that thought will become a real life problem. Keys to happiness can be hard to follow, but I will give them to you.

*Be positive, digging for whats bad in a life situation or any for that matter just makes it all the more depressing.

*Give yourself credit, doing homework, and going to school, finding out it was wrong and got a bad score can be sucky, but you tried, so just say, "hey, that wasn't so hott, but I tried, now all I have to do is ask for help" as oppose to "my god, I fail everything, now I'm gonna have to do better if my mind is big enough."

*See the learning, when a bad situation happens, like death, or someone getting injured, just try to say, "well, that was very upsetting, but now I know to never do this, or do that."

*Find a way to contribute, doing things for yourself can be good, because you're pleasing yourself, but you will feel the same about doing it for others.

*Recognize and act on your values, doing something important to you can make you feel good, accomplishing things that are important to you, so try your best at doing whats important to you.

*Focus on what you WANT and take steps towards it, have you been always saying, "someday, I am going to take piano lessons" but never took them? Get your parents involved and do it, take action with your wants.

*Allow yourself to dream, basically, don't dream of something and crush it with, "that will never happen." Just dream, maybe those dreams can come true.

*Enjoy life's small pleasures, if everything is a big mess, doing something relaxing makes it more of tensing than pleasuring, think about what you are doing at that moment, and think "everything will be ok."

I hope you try to make an effort with this.

Hi Sweetie,
I can relate. Life is weird. he only advice I have to give you is live life one day at a time. Today... what do you want to do today What kind of person do you want to be today? How do you feel today? And wht would make today a good day? ust observe how your days are... and the things that happen... analyze why things are. Maye you want to take p a hobby that will help you with your feelings like poetry or writing songs or playing an instrument or painting.
Hope you feel better soon. ...Today just okay. Tomorrow maybe a lot better, but it doesn't matter. Be okay TODAY :-) Have a goodnight. ~Blessed Be...

Altazuma answered Friday March 11 2005, 12:50 am:
Try prozac. OK, just kidding, well maybe not entirely.

As you get further in life you realise that you are an ever smaller fish swimming in a bogger ocean. Such is reality and the destruction of our childhood dreams. I never became an astronaut, an airline pilot or the pope, all which I had in mind at one time or another when I was young. I went from being the best in my class when young, to being mediocre at college.

But I found other things as I went on. By now I realise that I am not going to save the world and be hailed as a hero. But I also know that a lot of people consider me to be a good friend as I help them if and when I can and I try not to backstab them or do them harm. Even if I do, I apologise and we usually end up being even closer friends. I have had a number of women in my life that have genuinely loved me and I loved them. Those things have become far more important to me than my aspirations when I was growing up.

Try looking at life a little differently and settle on being a good person rather than achieving some goal you set when you were young.

Having said all this, there are times in our life when we get down on ourselves and it is really hard to pick up again. Depression is a mental illness that affects far more than those that are diagnosed and recieve treatment. If there is no fundemental problem behind it, often a course of prozac or something is all you need to lift you up again, reset yourself and continue on never needing them again. So do not discount the option of seeking help if you can't find the right inspiration from within.

Well, I would have to say that you are somewhere in the midst of your high school years...If you are then don't worry about it. Those days will pass and you'll find out that you don't need to be the best at everything. That the things that are bothering you now are so much more pety than other things you could be thinking about. Just keep your chin up. These days will go by faster than you think.

Hey, you are going through depression. Although you might not know that you are going through depression, you are. You are just intimidaded by others on the team or anything. Just forget about it and try your hardest because then you will go furthur.
For your grades, try and if you still get bad grades then you can ask your teacher for help. You arent being a nerd asking her for help, you are doing the right thing. You need help. Dont let others put you down. Have fun!!
Always there..
