Basically you don’t have a lot of choices. You either continue school or you go to some sort of mental hospital. Mental hospitals aren’t very nice places to be, but I think it’s probably your best choice. Unforyunately they do cost a lot of money but so does school. Fortunately in my case I never had to make the decision to go to a mental hospital. I was in a regular hospital for awhile though. I think your problems require a more specialized facility. Most people think that all depression can be cured. Almost the only ones that don’t work at mental hospitals. They will know that it isn’t your fault that you are like how you are. These people can do more for you than anyone else. Sometimes you are allowed to take classes while you’re in the mental hospital. Unfortunately you might find it hard to get into a mental hospital, because there is a shortage of space in mental hospitals. I guess the government doesn’t think people like you are important.

It sounds to me like a lot of the way you are feeling is because of the way you feel about yourself…
First of all, try to understand…that no one, and I mean no one…can give you happiness or make you happy…only you can do that for yourself…
How about if you try to be friends with YOU? For a little while, try not to befriend anyone…you need to work on the relationship that you have with yourself…
I’m a true believer that happiness comes from within…not from money, not from others, not from material things and so on and so on…
Have you tried any self help books? I know, it sounds like a lot of work…and guess what? It is..
You sound like a good person, and you sound like a kind person to me…those are good qualities…so don’t beat yourself up so badly…
Self help books will or might give you some coping skills and some coping tools that you can use to start liking yourself…
Don’t wait around for someone to come along in your life that is going to hand you or give you happiness…it’s not going to happen. For someone to be happy, they have to give it to themselves…and it’s hard work…especially in a world that is soooooooooooo sooooooooooooo negative…
Think positive, or at least try to…look at the glass as half full, instead of half empty…and tell yourself that it could always be worse…and it could be…
I am sure that you have some strong personality traits that are positive…learn how to magnify those things with in yourself…and let yourself shine…your life has purpose and meaning just like anyone else’s life has…so stop punishing yourself…stop or try to stop being so co-dependent on others to give you happiness.
I hope this helps…and good luck to you.

You need a good counselor. Find one you like, they are not all the same. Find one your insurance will pay for, you are in depression.
Counsellors will help when you have the right one.
Do you have a church where you could have a friend or two. All my friends but one are in my church. Churches want more members.
Maybe no one knows you and you need to have more friends but people don’t want to be friends with a negative person. So get the counselling and become positive.
TV is depressing so don’t watch all them depressing shows.
Learn to play some musical instrument, that can be uplifting or listen to music.
Trust in your higher spirit what ever you call it. Talk to your God or whatever you call yours.

Unfortunately, pain is a subjective thing and I can’t help you to overcome yours anymore than you can help me to overcome mine. That being said, I’m responding to your question because, in asking, you’ve taken the first step. I’m sorry to hear that you’re surrounded by negativity and people who don’t understand. It’s even more painful to hear that an online support group wasn’t supportive! UGH! I’d say you shouldn’t give up on looking for support groups. There are plenty of them out there, and plenty that will let you say what you want, when you want.

Loneliness is a condition suffered by millions of people, yet we all suffer it alone.

Have you been to or heard of http://www.postsecret.com? It’s an online journal where people anonymously send in their secrets. This site was a wonderful thing for me to find, once upon a time. You really get to see peoples’ pain, uncensored!

I apologize for the long response, but wish you luck.

You sound like you’re in serious need of a pick me up!

I could be your friend online for the time being!

Um…just send me an e-mail or something.

And yeah. Your doctor and professor are nice because that’s what the job calls for from time to nice - being nice and relate-able.

I hope things start to look up soon for you!

I’ve been in your place before, trust me!

You’re really not alone!!

I know how your feeling. I don’t have many friend because they get mad when i tell them i don’t trust them (I’m sorry but it’s the truth…..) Just email me with any problems cuz i understand what your going through. I find when you talk a share-my-pain talk it’s a lot easier than a you’ll-get-over-it talk.

This is some tough sh*t to be going through. I spent part of my life unable to get off a couch - the despair was awful. Don’t let rejection by one online group get to you. There are weekly meetings of Depressed Anonymous in almost every city, and NAMI (The National Alliance of the Mentally Ill) has meetings as well. There are plenty of support groups for you out there. Don’t give up on doctors, either. It took me some time to find someone I could truly click with, and then there were the ones I was in love with and who left. There are meds and meds and meds; some combination of them is bound to work. Also, have you tried Electro Convulsive Therapy? Some people swear by it.
