depression help: i’ve been feeling really depressed lately. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

i’ve been feeling really depressed lately.

i don’t know so much that i have depression but i feel really inadequate all the time. all the people around me, my friends, family and co-workers are such better people than i am and it really gets to me, why they would want to hang around someone like me! i fall short in the social skills area and i’m not attractive which makes it even worse! it is affecting my job and my life terribly! i don’t know what to do, i know most people would suggest going to therapy etc. but i just don’t think it would help - it won’t change the way i look or make me more of a people person..

i know it might sound shallow but i’m just really unfortunate in alot of ways compared to the people in my life - people react negatively to the way i look and i feel really nervous/awkward around other people. the one guy i truly loved doesn’t feel the same way about me. i feel lonely alot! people that know me have no idea how terribly i feel about myself and my life, i hate that i have such negative thoughts constantly but i don’t think it will ever change unless i could be born again as somebody else.

omg!!!!!!!!!!
U r your own worst enemy!
Putting yourself down so much is the quick route to depression!
Stop it right now!
Everyone has problems, everyone is insecure. The are aspects of u that others would envy.
It is you and only u that is your own worst critic.
Everyone else in the world r too busy thinking about themselves.
Work on your inside first..
Beauty fades……….smart is forever.
