I think I’m depressed.

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t care about school anymore. It seems like nobody cares about me and that I’m failing myself, not just academically, but socially, I can’t stand up for myself and take care of myself like I’m supposed to. My mom tells me to just ‘get up and do my homework’, but it’s not that simple. As much as I want to, I can’t do it; even if I did I am so far behind that I can’t gain much ground. I can’t find the strength or the energy to do anything anymore, I spend most of my time lying in bed staring at the computer, constantly checking my email even though I don’t do anything anymore. I wonder if I’m just lazy, or if it’s actually getting to me this much that other people don’t seem to care about me? I can’t stop thinking about what other people do around me and say to me and I don’t care about things like I once did. What can I do? I’m just so lonely, I don’t have any friends, and it really gets to me these days. I feel like I’ve tried though probably not hard enough but I don’t feel like trying any more. Everything I do just leaves me feeling this way. I don’t have a lot of choices left. Please help.

Also.

But people will care. I bet it’s just that you don’t notice. I’m probably the same. It’s so hard to see how hard others are trying to help you when you are on the other side of it.

Someone once told me

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extraordinary results.”

This is gabriel from corpus christi and i have had 50-50 custody of my son who is now 5. his mother is moving to san antonio after christmas to enroll him and move in with her boyfriend. i have never felt so depressed and the exact things you are saying i feel too. money is tight, car payment behind, work sux, nobody cares and i feel alone i wish life was simple and if i would have did my school work, went to college, not had a baby out of wedlock all this would be easier. if you are young take advantage of school and go to college. wear condoms and only trust god, you and your family until you feel better about yourself.

Geez, you sound just like me. I’m going through the same thing in my late 20’s. I start therapy on monday. I definitely know I’m depressed and from what I’ve read you definitely are too. Checking your email obsessively is something I do all the time. There is definitely a disconnect from the real world going on with you. Try to get to therapy asap to sort out your issues. Good luck. Thank god for help.com.

Oh geez.. your not the only one I guess. Sigh .. my best suggestion is to see a theripast and talk to someone so you can tell someone how you feel, so you can really get deep into how you REALLY FEEL. Hmm it’s hard to explain but I can let you know that your not the only one who feels like how you do. I even check my email obsessively and I thought I was like the only person who does that. I guess not after reading your post. Well I hope your doing better, as it seems this was posted like 2 and a half months ago. Hmm… have you ever seen a movie called ordinary people? its from like 1980 something but its a good movie. I suggest that you watch it, you could really learn from that show.
