Still Dealing with Feelings of Lonliness...

[TheMaster]

Nearly a year ago (exactly one year in about a month) I started spiraling into a self diagnosed depression. For the most part I'm OK. I don't cry as often and I laugh alot and enjoy myself again, yet I can't help but have episodes every few days in which I still feel so lonely distant, and depressed yet again. Is this something I should talk to a professional about?

Not unless you want drugs.

I would make an appointment with a doctor, yes. You should nip these things in the bud before they worsen. I'm glad you haven't started self harm with the amount if time you've had this, now you really need to stop it while it's small.
Everybody feels depressed from no explained reason every now and then, it's just part of growing up, but this could get worse quickly, so treat it now.
And right reserved, that didn't help at all.

Hey man, i know the feeling. I would recommend doing something you love. Do something to get all of those feelings away. i know that it can be hard, but start slowly, and they can go away. I would recommend talking to you parents or a friend you can REALLY trust, and it has to be a friend that you take a bullet for you. OR go to a doctor/therapist. It may seem hard, but it can help. staying bottled in is very bad. Trust me i know. that is why i am were i am currently. Though i have wrestling to take out my anger, my loneliness is always with me. But try and get help straight away.

I've felt the same way, really. They date back to when I was around 11-12, when I got into a massive fight with my old best friend.

If you're recovering, or at least seeing the better side of things, I wouldn't see why you would need a professional. I don't think medications are going to be a good permanent remedy, though they may make you feel better for a while.

I know for a fact that self-harm and stuff are something I'll never ever get close to, so other than feeling like shit for days on end, there's not much else I get to deal with :P
