20/04/2013 : Hi everyone, I am a male, 23 years old and feel like my life is a waste of time. Firstly, I'm am trying so hard to get a job and every time it's seem to be the same old story, numerous interviews and job applications, but never any luck. I have gone through my town centre handing out CVs to managers in different stores and business, hoping to recieve phone calls or potential e-mail for work and hopefully improve my life.
What makes it worse is that all I do is just stay at home all day and never go out anywhere because of lack of finances such as, money. I wouldn't mind so much but I have never had any paid work, only temporary and voluntary work. It's the feeling of never knowing what it is Like to have a job. Secondly, it affects my general happiness, not earning a living or moving up the ladder, as they say. In the past, when I first left school, there were many promblems.
I had depression and anxiety, which prevented me from going to college and gaining more qualifications. Although, recently, I have gone back to college to gain the qualifications, for what my ideal job would be. In time, I hope to get to university next year but I am frightened of failing, due to my past. Thirdly, I really would like to meet a nice girl hopefully in the near future, again this ruins my general happiness because of not knowing, what it feels like.
A girlfriend and a job seems to elude me all the time. I want to go out more and mingle with people but without money, how can I? So it contanstly feels like a circle repeating every day. The scenario is driving me crazy and spmedays, I feel as if I am Losing mind. The only positive thing, that I have mentioned is that I am at college studying hopefully to be a journalist but even this is starting to bore me. There is no one there I really talk to or relate to,.
I have always struggled to fit in anywhere. I really would love to be popular for once and not be at home, worrying and scared of the future. Will things ever get any better? I really need some advice to stop feeling frustrated and angry all the time. How did I get into this position?
What can I do to help my husband?

12/02/2013 : My hubby has times where he feels he can't sleep and wakes early each morning, sometimes he has these spells whereat first he look exhausted and eventually unhappy, he doesn't show any affection towards me at all ( normally he's very caring and loving) and if try and cuddle him and reassure him I love him there's nothing. He doesn't have trouble showing the kids affection and he goes to the gym 3 times a week weight training, he keeps saying he's really tired and has trouble sleeping, I suggested the other day could it be depression and he said its possible as he says he just can't explain how he feels and that he some times just wants to be alone, I have suggested that he or we go to docs but he said they will just try and give him pills and he doesn't want that Nd he would feel like an idiot, I'm the mean time I'm trying to help but I feel so shut out I cry myself to sleep when he's downstairs because I hate seeing him this way and howit effects us, any advice would be great
Im scared to admit it.. but I think I might be depressed.

10/09/2012 : Even writing this I'm scared. Over the last few years, Ive had to cope with a lot of heart break, loss and just general pain. Everything is getting too much and Im even starting to get suicidal thoughts on how everything could end if i wasnt about. I cant talk to anyone around me as every time I open up to someone I always get hurt even more or they just turn their back on me. No one listens to me as they are so self obsessed and therefore they havent noticed my downward spiral. I should be happy.
I mean Ive started a really good course at college, ive got a newborn nephew, so yeah i should be happy. But everything around me seems to be happening without me. I feel lost and alone in a life that I should be happy with. Oh yeah and Ive lost quite a bit of weight unintentionally. What should I do? Please can someone help me x

13/08/2012 : So last xmas i started feeling really down,as i just got in a good steady relationship been together 4 to 5 months and i found out he had to move away. He was only 40 minutes away on the train but it was still upsetting. On top of that i have always felt left out from my mother because i felt she didnt love me as much as she loved my brother. Alot of my family say how they see it too since the day i was born, she always treated us different.all of this together really started to effect me. i was getting upset alot because i missed my partner, lived with my mother her made me feel useless and wasnt good enough.
i only felt happy if i was talking/with my partner. other wise i was just sad and moppy. Even if i was at college, at a family event or even sometimes with friends. It felt like he was the only one who made me feel good about myself. It started to get worse and worse i saw a councellor what really helped. As this was going on i was quite paranoid when he talked to some girls and it really got to me at times, when i knew i was just being daft. this went on till july time, my partner moved in with me last july and my depression got better i was so much happier.
i just got more paranoid! there was this one girl, who i didn't trust him talking to. She was like his best friend but they have been out a few times and i just got this gut feeling everytime he talked to her, it made me feel sick. my partner tried to tell me she was just a friend and i believed him. Then one dsy out the blue he told me she tried it on with him over facebook. He had a daft moment.... my partner has had a bit of a bad time when he was a young teenager and she knows alot about his bad pass.
He knew if he reacted in a bad way everyone would know about his pass. He didn't say anything to come onto her but he didnt stop her from saying things to him about having sex with him. it destroyed me when i found out, my depression was just getting back on track and i was getting better with my paranoia and then this happened. even talking about it now my heart sinks and its nearly been a year. I was never jealous or paranoid before him, i just love and care for him so much. He has been such a help throughout everything.
my depression is still on track i have my good and bad days but so does everyone. Am just always paranoid :/ and having crazy thoughts. Am just sick of it ruling my life. i just want to go back to the bubbly fun loving woman i was when i first met him. what should i do? :(

12/08/2012 : I feel lost and alone in life. I think I have Social anxiety issues, especially in school, getting along with others is hard, especially when they waste their time hurting and gossiping about others. To me that kind of thing is such a waste of time, not to mention it has no real meaning. I can not be honest with my mother see yells at me or doesn't try to understand my feelings and help me. She decides to take part of what I say and twist it to her advantage. I told her she was not supportive and does not listen to me, and she did not believe me.
All these things hurts me and is a big problem for my mental health. does things like exercise and meditation really help? does therapy also help? I really do not know what to do... School really scares me, I'm trying my best to break out of my shell, but past events of school makes me scared. I know animation is the career I want , and I intend to go out and get it. It is just that all these things make me confused and alone, and I do not know what to do. I also come from a very opinionated family, and the love telling my facts or opinions are wrong or belittle them.
I really need some help........Thank you.
Would anyone care if I died today?

14/05/2011 : I'm not having too great of a time right now. I realized that while I have a good amount of "friends," I don't really think that I matter that much to them. I feel like I have done nothing with my life, and I really don't have an impact on anyone else's life. It just feels like if something happened to me, they would say "oh, that's sad" and then move on with their lives. Not that I want them to suffer, but I want to mean more than that to somebody. I'm constantly disappointed in myself and I don't know if I can go any longer.
What can I do to change this?
My friend is a druggie. What shall i do

18/01/2011 : I work in a professional job and understand that I am required to work to a very high standard. I have suffered from depression for over 2 years very badly. I honestly believe that my performance is not sub standard but my boss is constantly complaining about my work. I have recently had a disciplinary and went through the bosses concerns. I agree that I made a couple of mistakes (about 3 instances where clients were not kept up to date as much as they should) but the rest I disagree with. I only work 2 days a week and find the amount of work impossible to cope with.
For over the last year I've been working on my days off from home, taking calls from clients on my mobile etc but nothing seems to please my boss. I have exceeded my targets by about 40% for last year and when I raised this at my disciplinary my boss simply said the targets were too low (they're standard for the industry) and upped them to about 10% less than the target of a full member of staff making it impossible to obtain. She shouted so loud in the disciplinary that the rest of the firm heard as well as people not connected with the firm.
Since then she seems to be picking every little mistake I make up. Today she rang me on my day off and shouted at me for 10 minutes. Because of my depression I have very little self confidence and constantly worry about my performance, hence why I do work on my day off etc. However I know feel like I'm being bullied and can't face going into work tomorrow to be shouted at again. I spoke to a colleague today who heard the boss shouting at me and she said I was being bullied. It's a very small firm so there is no one above my boss to discuss the matter with.
The procedure lists her as the first port of call. Simply don't know what else to do and it's making me suicidal.
