I feel really lonely. I can't get my mind together to tidy or do anything, it feels so pointless, because I can't manage my own life. My family relations are bad. I can't trust them, because they hurt me, my parents, and I don't have many close friends because i spend so much time being trapped in my own depression. I feel really sad.

I found that when I feel this way, it is best to really let it be okay. It is okay to be sad or depressed about things at times, and if the house isn't cleaned today, it will be okay. You will get to it tomorrow. Try to find positive things in your life. Start with little things, like the child who smiled at you in the store, a beautiful bird that lands in your yard or the fact that the sun is shining. If you look for and concentrate on the small things that make you happy, everything is easier to deal with. Writing is also a great therapy. I found that if I write, whether here, in a note book or on an anonymous blog, I feel better. It doesn't have to make sense, it can be jumbled thoughts, but if you get them out, it gets easier to handle. If the depression persists, there are some great medications that can help you get out of it. Call your doctor, and get a bit of support from him or her. Life isn't easy at times, and we don't always have to do it alone. *hugs*

I feel this way a lot - sort of spun around like I have no real foundation to my life. I find when I feel this way, I like to pick one little thing and fix it. Often this is to cook something healthy for my lunch or dinner. Then I feel a bit better about myself.

I can relate to that and with the way things are going these days the sky can look pretty dim even on the clearest day. I do agree with one suggestion on letting it be okay to feel how you do or chose to do very little in a particular day. Things can get very tough almost feeling at the breaking point, but you have to make that choice to not let it take a perminent stance in your life. I really do know how you feel as I can have the hardest time even getting the shopping list together. Most of it is situational and feeling out of control of the happenings around. But thats when I take a step back and put my feet up, or take a long walk. Huggs to you

It's hard to help you, because this is little information. I do understand how you feel. We can be friends if you want, and talk about stuff. Just send a frien request on here if you're interested. If not, I hope you feel better soon. Hang in there.

Well depression is common in this busy world..though its bitter fact. So dont take it emotional to heart and try to come out of the past. Please dont give up confidence. Do yoga, you will feel a great heal and confidence. God bless you friend! Things will be better soon, dont give up.
