    Hi LowX,

    I'm in a very similar position as you at the moment. I too feel sad, unwanted and useless; I feel like nobody wants to help me when I'm down and they always call me pathetic and childish when I feel this way. Are you in college and going to uni or are you working at all? An aspiration in life will help you to feel more motivated for whatever lies ahead.

    James.

    Hi there I'm sorry that you're feeling so low. Feeling depressed can make us feel alone and everything can seem dream like or not real. I know because I feel the same way a lot of the time but know that you are not alone and lots of people suffer in the same way. You should really go and see a doctor if you can as you may need the help of medication and or talking therapy. Even just a chat with a doctor or someone you feel safe with like a friend or family member can help you get stuff off your chest. Regarding the drinking and drugs I can tell you this doesn't help and makes things worse. People with depression often self medicate but a doctor can put you on the right meds to lift your mood. Hope this helps and I'm sorry you're going through it, Ben

    Hi Lowx,

    Coming from someone who lived the same lifestyle get out of drug use while you can! I became very dependant and believe my use caused my depression/anxiety issues.

    I read alot about young people mainly your age that are depressed or feel depressed often and I cant help but think maybe its the self esteem thing that I remember when I was 18? The bigtime pressures during your late teens and worry about whether we will ever be something..... Well you will be something life has many journeys tough times, good times etc etc Hang in there go see your doc and tell him/her about how you feel. One piece of advice is avoid drugs man that is just a one way ticket to miseryville I lost good friends thru Overdosing and I Oded twice you dont want to go down that path brother !
