why does it always seem like those people who have lost everything (parent, close friend, sibling ext.) are always so open to love and companionship and always seem happy? i know that they are not always, but still they are able to move past that loss and continue to love in this world, but then there's someone like me who has a decient family, friends who say they care and a job and i have never lost someone terribly close to me and yet i always feel alone and lonely and depressed and ignored even if i really am not. Why do i feel this way? why can't i open up with anyone and tell them how i really feel? is there something wrong with me or am i just a lunitic? Someone please help...

Well it did crush me. It hurt so bad. But you cant always lived on the past. I just lost a friend a couple months ago. And I barely knew him,we just became friends. But I know I cant just always be sad. Some people pretend to me be and others just want love to be in their lives they dont always to be sad and make everyone else sad. I know what you mean by the alone thing. That is how i feel...i just dont show it. some of my friends are like that and theyhave depression. There isnt always a reason for the start of depression. Maybe you should talk to a councler. Dont worry there is nothhing wrong with you!
i hope i have helped in ANY way :] [ musicxfreak1331's advice column | Ask musicxfreak1331 A Question ]
runawayxlove answered Tuesday February 20 2007, 1:41 pm: hey, well thats not always the case. ive been through a few serious operations and have watched plenty of family members go through serious operations. my mom is paralyzed and has a really hard time walking. my parents are seperated and then my mom got remarried, and they dont get along well most of the time. with my moms first marriage, ive watched my parents phyiscally abuse each other and even i have been physically absused by my father myself. ive been to three different schools. ive lost a lot of pets and even family members. half my family doesnt talk to each other because there all divorced. yeah seems bad right? well during all that there wasnt a time when i went to therapy or got depression medicine. i mean yeah, sometimes i do feel alone and depressed, but so doesnt everyone else. even you, who nothing bad has happened to. ive learned to not take for granted of what i have and to live life like this is my last day on earth. to cherish every moment of life and to be happy of who i have in my life. you should do the same. because i garentee if any of that happened to you, you would be a wreck. i think that because you feel depressed now and are thinking of the worst when nothing bad as even happened to you. prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

luvbug555 answered Monday February 19 2007, 10:26 pm: babe, we learn through harsh things. people who have lost people learn to love the great things in life, and understand that you cant stay on the little bad things because your only on this world for a little bit. i suggest that you are thankful that you havent lost any close relatives! look at all the good parts in your life. if you dont concentrate on opening up, or bein loved, you will open up and be loved. just concentrate on how beautiful the world is. maybe take walks around at night. i know the night time always inspires me to do anything. or maybe take a trip to the beach. just look at the waves and how amazing they are. look at the flowers in your backyard. the world is so amazing if you just notice it!

Maybe it's because you haven't experienced a loss that's so crucial on your life & you might take for granted about what you have & feel guilty for it? I strongly advise you to focus on the positive things in life, & bring out the good things! If you really feel you're depressed, ask your parents to see a doctor or get some depression medicine. I think those people that suffer through those things just...didn't take as much time to get used to things and become attached? I actually think they DO feel awful about it, but they only show YOU the happy side so you don't feel worse. Everyone has a side you don't see-and sometimes for a reason, no matter how good you may think you know the person. Maybe they run away from their pain, I went through that but I had to let myself feel sad & once I did, it just left me. A burden was just lifted & I felt so much better. If you ever have dreams about running away from someone, it means that you're running away from sadness about that person. That's what happened to me. It took me a little while to get over the situation & a really long time to recover but that's partly because I ran away from the bad feelings for such a long time. I hope something in there helped. :] Good luck! [ Depressed_Poet's advice column | Ask Depressed_Poet A Question ]
