Ive been feeling down for months . There were times i feel unworthy. I barely go out . Ive started to lose faith in human but i know there r some good people out there. I do have a lot of friends but sometimes i cant stop feeling lonely. I dont usually go out due to some circumstances . Im thankful for everything but i cant help feeling this way. Im thankful for everything but things arent usually going the way i want them to be . I wish i cud be more specific and be open about what im currently facing .

@ShoushHow long have you been feeling this way? And did something trigger it? In my experience, depression seems to be the mind's reaction to a problem that seems unsolvable. I don't know if this applies to your situation. I've been there before. For me, therapy and medications have helped a lot.

@Shoush Did something happen in May? I'm sorry to hear about how down/hopeless you have been feeling. Do you have some people in your life who you can confide in? If not - or even otherwise - are you open to meeting with a therapist, or psychiatrist? It sounds like you are going through a pretty bad depression. Just know that there are treatments out there that can be lifesaving and make you feel like you want to live again.

@Justoneoutof7billion i cnt thank you enough :) im glad that u show me that at least i can still look up to human and have strong faith in humanity. Ive been facing a lot of hurdles and its not that easy for me to open up , not just to anyone, not even my family can help me. They have done their best,i dont want to give them any trouble,its the last thing i wnt to do.ive done everything i could unfortunately i always end up being second choice in everything.im a total failure . I had this suicidal thought, however im recovering slowly and im gonna take some time for myself. I cant face anyone right now. Im emotionally unstable . Thanks for showing up like you did.

@ShoushI'm glad that I could be of some help. When we feel this way, it's so easy to feel isolated, like you're just detached from the reality that everyone else is living. At least, that's how I've felt in the past, so stuck in my own head, my negative thoughts about myself, etc. I hear you about having difficulty opening up to people. Thanks for taking a chance here. I think if you were willing to take a chance with a good therapist, you'll probalby feel more connected and supported. But, I understand that there's a dilemma about opening up and taking those risks. Hang in there. Whatever you're doing, I hope that you will slowly and steadily get out of this depression.
