depression?
okay, so the last two years i have become more miserable-between family and friends, but, this year it has reached a new extreme. ive tried cutting and purging, running, boxing, but nothing helps. i just feel this emptiness. Sometimes, life isnt even that bad, but for some reason i feel the need to be sad. i dont have energy or desire to to do the things i used to do, and i just dont care. i suffer from anxiety attacks and im not even sure how to handle them, how do i make them go away? somtimes i just break down and cry, and i just want to go away, i just feel like i dont fit in.

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. Not fitting in can be tough for anyone, especially if you are also suffering from these symptoms. It does sound like you may be suffering from depression. You are not alone, a large majority of the population either has or will experience a depressive episode at sometime in their lives.
Many people don't realize it but close to 80% of those with depression also suffer from some sort of anxiety problem and vice versa. You may want to find someone to talk to; a school counselor, a parent, or even a close friend.
Try and incorporate some physical activity into your daily routine. This won't work right away, but after sometime it will help with your depressive symptoms. As for the anxiety attacks, there are relaxation techniques that may be able to help you. You can do an internet search for relaxation techniques, this will give you a variety of different techniques, see what works best for you.
Good luck!

Hello,
I know this sounds simply weird but it seems to me that your diet and your environment have a lot to do with your 'sad' feeling. Maybe you should also look into a mood disorder of some sort. Try calling DR Laura. She is on AM 640 in Los Angeles area from noon to 3 every day. She would be good for you to consult, she is free if you get her on the show.
Good Luck

it may be a tough thing to admit, but you may suffer from depression or something more serious. you should talk to your parents about maybe going to see a counselor. this way they can test your for mental illnesses and depression. then they can either talk with you about your problems or possible even prescribe you some medication.
Good luck :)
