Hi everyone, I could use some help with this depression (this may be a bit long =P) First off, Ive read the sticky with all the different types of depression and Atypical depression matches me almost perfectly, Im sad alot, but theres times when Im feeling pretty good, although not happy with my life tbh. I have very bad problems with anxiety and shyness and I dont have many friends, which is pretty much the reason for my depression/loss of hope. Although Im doing better (I used to want to kill myself :eek:) I still feel like like its not going to get any better and I dont know what to do about it.
What changes things though, is that its not clinical depression, like I said, I have few friends due to my extreme anxiety/shyness, but that was only brought on by very bad experiences back in school which made me like this. I know Im depressed, I know theres a reason for it, but I still havent been able to overcome these problems (Im trying very hard though) and I thought Id ask you guys what I should do about it, I honestly want to try to help myself without having to use meds, but may have to if necessary, I just need to talk about all this, because its not going anywhere if I dont
