Depressed. What's going on?

[Life's Like This]

Hey guys,
During the last couple of weeks, I have been in a real bad mood.
1. I don't have any real friends. I mean, I have a few friends, but none whom I can call "real" or "best" friends. Everyone in my class has his own clique, or his own relationship, amd I am feeling inferior.
It makes me sick when I see my friends always available for each other on every vacation or weekend, and I always at home with my family. I even refuse to go out with family sometimes to the mall or any place not to see people hanging out, or even my own "friends".

2. Plus, the people in my school talk yo me when they need me, they never actually come to me and talk to me just to "hang out". They either want to copy my homework or ask me about the test.

3. We're in the Orthodox Easter Vacation, and I am spending everyday at home with family, and this got me depressed. I need a friend. I need love. I need a girlfriend. I need someone to talk to when nothing is going fine..

I am a shy person.
How can I get over my depression?

Our situations are the same... I don't have any friends either. I usually wait for people to come up to me and say something. I'm too shy to do anything else.

As for getting over your depression... You can get through it. You might not think so, but you have more control over your depression than you think.
Good luck.

It must suck for you im also a very shy person I have friends and best friends but you have to go up to people to make friends. It was hard for me to walk up to people too. At times I sit alone at lunch but thats because I want too if I dont want to sit alone I just walk up to people. you are the one holding your self back. Its hard for me walking up to people too but you just have to do it people are not always just going to walk up to you and talk to you. At school im a quiet person at times kind of a loner but thats because I dont walk up to people and talk to them. When my family goes out I usually stay home because I dont want to go no where especially the mall. At times I feel depressed and angry but I learned to handle it for me I think its like a phase that doesnt happen to everyone. One of the hardest things of all is talking to girls but im still learning to get better. Good Luck !!!!!!!

I know what it's like. I'm really shy too, and I really don't have any "friends" because I don't go anywhere much. I'm homeschooled and I still go to things like basketball and stuff but I don't know how to make friends or anything. Its so sad that the person I talk to in meatspace more than anyone else is my mom. She's cool and stuff but its not like having someone my age to talk to.

I've been sad before (don't know if it really qualified as 'depression') and I just did things that I'm interested in and stuff I like and it just goes away soon enough.

Try to make more of an effort to hang out with your friends. If your school has a counsellor, I would advise you go see him/her, as they really can help, even just talking to them. Good luck :)

I just want to let you know, guys, that I'm feeling so much better!
I am enjoying myself at school, and hanging out with some people. I haven't found a "true" friend yet, but it's nice to socialize. :p
Thank you all so much.
