I feel different. I feel hurt. Sometimes I don't want to get up and things seem to be getting harder. And other times I feel like someone should beat the shit out of me just for feeling this way. I feel like a hypocrite. I feel selfish. Nothing helps anymore. Going to shows don't seem to help. Hanging out doesn't seem to help. I don't know what to do. Or who to talk to.

Not necessarily the whole no fats count the carbs thing, but just healthier. balanced.
Veggies, cooked in olive oil with some chicken, served over steamed rice. its a balanced meal, maybe something different... ask your friends, or your friends parents what their favorite healthy dinners are. Try eating some if its not something that you normally have. and finish with a small desert. (chocolate, chocolate releases endorphins[your brain's happy signals] Don't know why but it does. Red wine does too, but only if your old enough or if your parents approve.) also different kinds of fruit, like Kiwi. or bananas with peanut butter. I think I read somewhere that peanut butter also releases endorphins.
and so does exercising. Try finding something active that you like. Whether its going to a gym, picking up something along the pilates/yoga lines, aerobics, bike riding, skateboarding, Dance, Rock climbing, ect.
For some people Reading works too... I don't normally recommend it just based on the fact that I think its boring. but It might work for you
jlle answered Monday March 12 2007, 2:07 am: It definitely sounds like you're having a problem with depression. Excercise, fresh air and a healthier diet (maybe with vitamins) always is a good first step. If that doesn't help (or if you've already tried it) then talk to someone. The best person to talk to depends on your personality. If you're really close to your friends, go to them and tell them what's going on- or just talk about something else for a while. Know you aren't alone. And if you're a little more private, sometimes it's easier to go to a partial stranger-me, or someone else on this site, if you want. And if none of that helps, go to a professional, whether that's a school/clinical counselor, clergy, whatever works for your situation. [ jlle's advice column | Ask jlle A Question ]
looloo12 answered Sunday March 11 2007, 11:35 am: it sounds like you might have depression. go to a therpaist/physciatrist for help. they can give you an idea to if you do have depression, and you can get medicine from a doctor. [ looloo12's advice column | Ask looloo12 A Question ]
