What do you do when you are fed up with life?

1. I have been where you are, and it totally sucks. First of all, when you realize that other people dont make your life what it is, you do, then you will have a good start. You can change your surroundings, change your friends etc.. but it wont change who you are inside, unfortunately that follows us everywhere we go. I got help through the worst of mine with a counselor I connected with, but that may not be your case. Depression is a battle I still fight every day, and to tell you it is easy would be a lie. Just know that you are not alone in this, that these feelings are validated by others all over the world. I wish I could write a few lines and you would read them and have this huge epiphany and be all better, but you know it doesn't work that way, so I will just say that you will be in my prayers. Peace.

2. Think Happy..or go on a vacation by yourself..to RELAX

3. I understand what you are going through. I have depression too. First, don't stop believing that things can get better. Second, see a Dr. and get your meds going. If they need to be changed, then do it. Third, you must get a grip because depression can get so much worse. Fourth, get into a support group. Call your local mental health agency, hospital, or Guidance counselor Fifth, Try attending church and use prayer...don't knock it. It really works. Good luck

4. keep reaching out for help. knowing you have struggled with depression before means that you have the skills to recognize when you are in a down season. somewhere out here, there's a counselor who can help you climb out of the hole, if you really want to. life is hard, and sometimes throws ugly blows, but taking off and starting anew isnt always the answer. sometimes, somethings are worth sticking it out for. you are in school and its hard sometimes, but the reward in the end is well worth it. if you need a break, talk to your faculty advisor about taking an FMLA educational leave of absence..then you can take time to re gather yourself without ruining your educational endeavors. when you come out of the hole, you dont want to get depressed over irrational decisions that negatively impacted your life dreams. you know what to do,since you've dealt with depression before, and probably know of the frustration from poor decisions during those sad days you face. just keep reaching out to the right sources that can help you. a good support group that everyone is repeating is church and prayer. it works-take my word for it... i wish the best for you

5. Girl, you need to take a deep breath, and relax. Oh, i know what you are going through. But yo can make it through just remember The Lord said he is her for you and all you have to do is call on his name and he will answer. Have faith and believe. Jesus loves you. and if this doesn't get you through call your closest shurch and ask someone to pray for and with you. Then you will feel a thousands pound lighter. If you have not been told lately, know that I love you nad so does Jesus. Keep your head up and wipe those tears release your fears. Have a blessed week. reese.

6. Are you taking antidepressants? My motto is "better living through chemistry". PRAY! Walk with God and he will lead you.

7. Bloom where you are planted. If you are suffering from depression tell your doctor you aren't feeling any relief from the medications you have tried. A lot of the time it takes trying several types of antidepressants before you find the right combination for you. If that doesn't work there are other treatments for your condition. Depression is something you have to stay on top of. You can't allow yourself to say, "Well, that didn't work, so I guess I'll just wait on it to go away by itself." Next, the best way to have a good relationship with men (or anyone else) is to first have a good relationship with yourself first. That takes looking inside yourself deeply and understanding who and what you want in life. Then you have to learn to trust yourself and give yourself permission to be happy. It is all about the direction you point yourself in. Talk to your doctor and ask for a referral to a good counselor who can teach you how to overcome your depressive episodes. Tell the doctor exactly what your symptoms are and ask for medication that is geared towards those specific symptoms. Doctors can't read your mind and all depression isn't the same. So don't be afraid to tell him seriously about your melancholy and you should get better results. Good luck!

8. JOG

9. This is Serious! Step 1 - Doctor - will prescribe anti-depression medication. Step 2 - Exercise Step 3 - Your going to NEED a vacation Step 4 - Learn / discover your true interests and pursue Life is a balance. One needs to work, play, eat, and sleep in a balanced order or one feels as you do. To much or to less of something again puts one in this desperate situation. Sit down and write down your likes dislikes and goals. Putting your feelings in writing will also aid in your needed therapy. Best of luck , stay positive, it WILL get better.

10. Snap out of it. You first have to stop popping pills that are making you depressed. Then start loving yourself, on this beautiful green earth there is no other person like you. You are one of a kind and out of the thousands of sperm to hit the egg that made you. You are special and you should be loving you, like I love me some me. Right now get up go to the bathroom and look at yourself in the mirror and see how beautiful you are. ( I do this pretty regular) Learn to have fun with yourself and enjoy the company of you. Oh! a change of scenery can be good ( I did that) but you are almost finished with school, stick it out and after you graduate, pick a place it will come to you. All the best to you. Don't look for people or relationships to validate you, validate yourself!

11. Are you having any fun at all in your life? Do you go to movies and laugh out loud? Have you tried going out and just dancing A LOT and making new friends? Are you just plain 'burnt out' from studying and setting goals and not going anywhere? Check the airlines websites. Look for their weekend deals. See what you can afford - they often tie air fares to hotels for weekend stays. You can fly to Denver, rent a bicycle and ride all over the city. Take a friend who's as bored as you are. I was feeling pretty down - and then I HAD to take a trip for a reason and once I was in the new city, I walked and shopped (didn't buy much) and listened to music and indulged in some sinfully delicious food. It was just the tonic I needed. I surprised myself! Best to do it with a friend or even just an acquaintance who likes to get out of town.

12. You need to have a personal relationship with Jesus
