feeling down what to do
 

I just got out of a relationship and now i have been feeling really down. I had a friend say that he would help me but he is so busy so when i call him he doesnt answer. I dont have any friends cause i push them away and worked alot of hours. I took a vacation i told my friends i was on vacation but no one called me. I just feel lonely and i scared to go out by myself. And all i did today was cry the whole day. I dont want to bother my family cause they dont understand. I try talking with my mom but it doesnt help and she will bring u things like her job and compare them to my situation but they are never the same. I have heard three people tell me they care about me but they arent there for me. I just want to help myself but i scared that i cant. I feel like i will be depressed forever.

I also think so.

First of all just think positive just remove all bad things and think always positive, meat your friends and spend more time with your family and do that thing in which you have feel enjoyment.

those people who told you they care about you- they probably really do. could be they're busy- so reach out to them. contact them first. write to them. ask when's a good time to talk. they will be there for you. also, just try to get out a little, relax, take your mind off the stress once in a while.

I am curious if any of you have been professionally diagnosed with depression for the first time during the past six months? Romantic couples are needed for a study about depression within relationships.

Each partner will earn a $15 Target or Walmart Card (your choice) by completing a 30 to 45 minute online questionnaire.

To sign up, send an email to romantic.relationship.research@gmail.com with (1) your name, (2) your email address, (3) your partner’s name, (4) your partner’s email address, and (5) the date of first-time professional depression diagnosis.
