I don't know why I am feeling ever so low all the time. Sure? I look happy and joyful in school, happy-go-lucky and not giving a s**t, but after it all, I spiral back to a depressed feeling that I will never rid of.

I hate the fact, that I am compelled to put in my personal MSN Message, that I've done all wrong, and I'll be gone soon, therefore distressing my friends.

I hate the fact that I get into a state over nothing (socially, social situations, MSN etc.)

When will it go away?

When I leave school?

When I turn into an Adult?

I've only suffered with this depression for a year and it's driving me insane.

f**k! How am I going to survive 2? Or even 6 like 1 user on here?!

I'm sorry.

I just wanna know why?!

:(

What drives your depression? Manic Depression, perhaps? One moment you feel very good, the next moment you feel like crap.

I used to be very depressed, about a year and a half ago, at school. I never thought I'd get through all the crap, but I did. I still get depressed now, but nowhere near as much.

I know how it feels, just stay true to yourself and take any criticisms and hardships into context, think of a rational solution, and don't take crap from anybody. Do what you like doing best when you feel sad.

I hope you feel better soon enough. :)

Live for the future. You have so much time ahead of you, so make the best of it. Try to figure out what triggers your depression. If it's caused by something external like another person or a traumatic event, you might just need to talk to someone or see a therapist to sort the emotional issues out. If you have difficulty pinpointing a cause for your depression, it may be due to chemical imbalances in which case medication would probably be your best bet. I hope you feel better.

feels like a constant pain between your shoulders, like spikes are going to start coming out. I would rather go through most physical pain than i would emotional pain. Please dont give up. I am thirty one and i have those problems still, but there are good days too.

Thanks for the support.

I dont think its manic depression, it might Deep/Acute Depression of some sort. I'm happy in school and msn, because I try to puton a front 99% of the time.

Sometimes, it just tires me out and makes me angry and confused.

And, because of my over-obsessive (AS Textbook Case) style personality, I for some reason at least have to question why am I so low and depressed nearly everyday.

"Getting yourself into a state over social situations"... could that be Social Anxiety Disorder?

About the "I'll be gone soon"... I sometiems feel compelled to do it too, or felt that way, not now. You are not alone! You are just lacking in love and respect from others. If you want a friend, you can PM me. :D

Thanks for the advice Ana54.

I do have friends of my own, but I just get angry and confused over nothing.

I was severely depressed when I was in high school (nearly killed myself in fact). There were days when was so unhappy that I stayed in bed all day because I literally didn't even have the will to get out of bed.

All I can say is that it does get better in adulthood. I'm actually a pretty happy guy today. Hang in there and don't give up. If it gets to be more than you can handle, try to find some sympathetic people to talk to about it.
