I just dont know where to turn...

[James78]

Hi, I've been depressed for a while I guess now. I kept telling myself it was just a temporary thing and would lift after a while but i'm just feeling worse and worse. I find it hard to talk to people about my feelings and am starting to get worried about my state of mind. I dont have anything good in my life and am constantly trying to think my way out of the situation i'm in, but the solutions i come up with are impractical because of social issues i have. I feel trapped in a life i dont want. I feel like tearing my hair out. I keep trying to tell my friends (the few i still have contact with) and they dont seem to want to know. I need some help and dont know who to turn to. I'm back living with my mum/stepdad but i dont want to burden them. I already feel like i'm unwanted here on some level. I dont know what to do.

I dont feel like i can talk to anyone, i dont feel like i can change anything and cant go on as i am. I hate my life and feel like i'm wasting it. I just cant carry on like this.

I feel completely alone.

You're not alone, what you have written here is true for a lot of people on this forum. You can chat here and people will understand what you are going through.

Have you seen your GP? If not they will understand, a tip I was told on here was that if you find it difficult to talk to people try writing a few things down to help you or that you can show your doctor if you need to.

You are not alone, we will listen  and help where we can.  I think alot of people here will understand how you are feeling, I know I do.  I agree with buttercup if you haven't already done so, you should visit your dr and tell him/her how you are feeling.

Take care

Hi

I can only echo the above posts xx

I know how you feel my friend, it's hard for us men to talk to our friends as in my case I feel embarrassed to let them know for the risk of being judged as weak. But as the other posters have said there are people here who you can talk to as we all have something in common. You can speak to your GP as they have lots of knowledge and can be surprisingly helpful. Good luck  :)

James, you're not alone. People here understand. Like everyone else says, you need to go and see your GP if you haven't already.

Thinking of you

My advice:
make an appintment with your gp
write down how you feel, why you feel it etc
then explain the issue to your gp. Take a note book with you to jot down notes and questions. (even have a special notebook/journal with you all the time o write down how you feel
He/she will advice on the best course of action.
