Question: Am I crazy,I am depressed and don't know why, is there anyone out there going through similar emotions.advice.?
I have a great girlfriend, I am goin to college for engineering. I have never had trouble making friends. Even now as a freshman in college I have made good friends quickly. But at the same time i feel depressed almost daily. I'm always getting overly mad about almost anything my girlfriend does. I am always starting fights and at the same time regretting it the whole time. I often stay up late at night not being able to sleep thinking about everything wrong in my life. I fear death, but at the same time it seems a place of i don't know..peace...and I guess the main thing I am looking for an answer to is why am I depressed and always hurting for no reason. I know it seems dumb..but I am depressed and I don't know why..does this mean I'm crazy.?Health Question & Answer

I am going through the exact same thing at the moment. I have just got an apprenticeship that I love, a really nice boyfriend and I just can't feel happy about it. I have been depressed for about four months, but people have only started noticing over the past couple of weeks because I have barely been able to hold a conversation with anyone. I went to the doctor's yesterday and told him i was sad and i had absolutely no reason to be. He prescribed an antidepressant called Zoloft. He made me feel better about seeking help because he told me how common it actually was. Sometimes you have a slight chemical imbalance in your brain that stops you feeling happy, and this medication just gives you that chemical to compensate.
Don't worry, you're not crazy, while there might not be a logical reason for feeling depressed, there sometimes is a more biological reason. It can be an actual illness, and like most other illnesses it can be treated :) Chin up, don't be afraid to ask for help. I wish I had asked sooner. Health Question & Answer

Your searching for answers to your life...

there are probably many things you dont understand about life and you are fed up about it..

You're not crazy. It sounds to me like your over worked or you might be feeling trapped by the girlfriend. Try sitting down & writing a list of everything in your life good on one side bad on the other. After you do that write down what you can do to make the bad stuff better. Then get some magazines & cut out pictures of stuff you want & things you want to accompish in your life. Look at your pictures daily & say to yourself," I am worthy of everything my heart desires, it is mine & I appreciate everything I have & will have in the future". Then go to the nearest homeless shelter & look at how life could be. If your really brave you could go in & do some volunteering, when you see others in much worse conditon then you it will help you to feel better. also it truely makes you feel better to help others, giving of yourself is the best medicine!!! If a homelss shelter isn't for you try a hospital or old folks home, do things for others to help them feel better.
Now as for death, it is very nice on the other side.( I died during a heart attack saw the light etc) But IF your thinking of suicide DON'T !! Your mom's life will be ruined!!
also remember the past is the past, there is nothing you can do to change it, so dwelling on it won't fix it either. Let it go, if you hurt some one tell them your sorry in person or write a letter or card.
Hope this helps!! feel free to contact me if I am not clear enough for you.

PS stay away from anti depressants, look for "natural cures" pills can make you way worse!!!Health Question & Answer

Hi. sometimes you don't even need a reason to be depressed , it just happens. I know how awful it is, you're not crazy. Maybe you should go to a doctor and tell him how you feel. The trouble is, it's hard to find just what helps each person. I actually just went back to the doctor last week after being off antidepressants for a few months, but feeling depressed again. I was given a new antidepressant(Cymbalta), but it makes me feel really anxious and on edge, so I guess I'll have to go back and tell him. There are other antidepressants, so hopefully they might help youHealth Question & Answer

take some time alone to seriously think about your life and your actions. if your girlfriend is great give her some slack and be great back to her. if you keep getting mad for nothing you probably won't keep her long or she won't be happy if she is with you. fearing death is a common thing. i had an extreme fear of death but at about age 25 it decreased alot. i still don't want to die but i don't think about it like before. i think my fear came somewhat from my grandfather dying when i was about 7 yrs. old. that was the first time someone i knew died. there is a reason you are hurting just you probably aren't mature enough yet to have an insight as to why. that isn't meant as an insult, just a fact you are still very young. i strongly suggest counseling, it doesn't make things change right away. as a matter of fact it takes time but it is worth it if you don't want to stay this way and i know you don't. if you think the whole counseling thing makes you weak or a freak or something talk to someone you love and trust and someone you respect and see as a wise person. also, definitely NOT as a last resort ask God to help you. he truly holds the power to give life meaning and make it worth living. if you don't believe ask him to show you that he's there.Health Question & Answer
