What's wrong with me?

[Aquila]

I dont know whats happening to my life anymore. I used to be really optomistic and carefree, but for the last few months ( pretty much since New Years) ive been sad and really lonely. My best friend and i drifted apart since then, and I think that's what started all of this, but its been months, and I dont know why I'm still so sad. I used to be outgoing and silly, but now I find I'm really shy, and all i want to do is sit in bed and just hold myself. I hadnt cried in like 5 years, but now I feel like crying everyday. When I ask my old best friend for advice (the one whose friendship I lost) she says that I feel like I'm falling, but its really all in my head and I'm being rediculious. And its true, i have a good life, and I feel like losing her isnt a very good reason to be so sad, but I'm just not getting any happier. I feel so hopeless so often, please someone help me, how can I feel better?:(

First off, do not for a second believe that there is anything wrong with you as a person, thoughts like that do not help, they generally make you feel worse.

Secondly, there might be something wrong with your mind however. You might be, clinically depressed. But I wouldn't take my word for it (i'm not a doctor or anything), go and tell someone else, like your mom, dad or local doctor how you feel. If you don't feel comfortable doing that try typing in the way you have been feeling into Google, you might find out what what's causing you to feel more sad then usual and it might help you feel better.

Thirdly, feeling guilty for feeling sad even though you may have a good life is also not going to help you feel any better. This guilt is incredibly irrational and not worth dwelling on. Believe me.

Fourthly, find something that you find hilarious to laugh at, it helps you feel better.

Hope my advice helped. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, but.... There are times where I feel completely normal, then for no reason, I get depressed and sad again. I dont know if I really am depressed or whats going on, but Im really scared of whats happening. I look at other peoples lifes, even people around here, and they have legitimate reasons for being depressed, but I dont, and i feel ungrateful for what I have. IDK anymore

Take a deep breath, relax and close your eyes. Then think for what things are you blaming yourself for? Then explain to yourself that past belongs to past and that you got to keep moving.
I've been through issues like that and the reason that it happens it's cause you're trying to ignore and bottle up something inside you.Let it go,cry if you need to.
And you don't have to have a shitty life to feel depressed. Don't feel guilty about it. You're a person and you can't be happy or perfect all the time!

Hey,

I just want to say that I know for a fact there is nothing wrong with you, at least not in the sense you are thinking. Everyone experiences moments of sadness, and sometimes for some people those moments are magnified and more frequent. It may be that you are simply a very emotional person, or that you are going through a period of depression. I think the best thing you can do is talk to an adult or someone who can understand what you are going through. If things don't seem to improve soon, you might want to consider getting your parents to take you to a doctor and find out what's causing this.

I've been through that kind of depression before, and it's definitely not fun. Just don't lose grip of the things in life you are happy for. Those are always important things to remember, no matter what happens or how you feel in life. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that you feel better soon :)

You are perfectly fine. I felt the way you are not too long ago. What you have to do is just sit down and think about all the good things in your life. Even though it may seem as if nothing is going right at the time, think hard because I know that you are going to think of something that will make you happy. And I think sometimes people just go through that feeling of not being happy. You just have to remind yourself that you were happy before and that you are going to be happy in the future.

Hope this helps :) and trust me you are def not alone in how you feel.
