life help: Im suffering from depression. - Help.com

Im suffering from depression.

I try so hard to be happy, but it always leads back to feeling miserable and discusted in myself.

I want help, but no matter who I see it doesnt change anything. No one believes me. That theres something wrong with me… I just need someone to talk to, but at this point theres not many people I have in my life that understands …

No, I dont want to take pills and all that crap. It will ruin me forever, and I dont even want to get into that.

What could I do, even the smallest things, to try and be a happier person? A better person?

What I try to do is keep telling myself things will get better, I try to enjoy little things like music or videos on youtube. Every little bit of happiness I can get I take.

Friends, and ‘avoiding the subject’; the more you tell yourself there’s something wrong, the more you’re going to think about it, and the more that you’re going to feel that way. A positive attitude, enjoying the little things. Taking pride in the thigns you do. Going out and trying new things that you never would’ve done before.

for me, and i did it without telling anyone, was to make goals and focus 100% on achieving them, mines was getting to college and i didn’t let anything stand in my way of getting their, by doing that my confidence grew and i was forced into social situations i had to cope with and i did i got used to it all. it became part of my life and i became comfortable with it, i felt much better about myself and when i finally reached my goal i felt so good. i remember walking out of my college interview with a place on my course and feeling like i was floating out the door, i was so happy and i realized i had done it myself, i was able to do it myself it helped my confidence so much. i used to hate the way i looked the way i sounded and the way i felt, now i love it all.
