Am I depressed

Sloth_ profile image

So I moved to a new state months ago and I was really excited about it, now I'm here and I hate everything. I have no friends so all I do is sleep, I hate my job but don't want to quit because then I'll have nothing, I left a guy I was in love with back home. I feel sick all the time, I've gained weight, all I do is visit the same website every day. I cry a lot and want to write but can't think of anything interesting to write about. I start books but never finish them. I feel hopeless. Nothing makes me happy, I can't recall the last time I've actually smiled. No one likes me, I was homeless for months and every attempt I made at a gofundme to get help was ignored. I'm a loser. I try to fit in by commenting on people's statuses or sharing my experiences with people in person but no one wants to listen. The only people I talk to are at work and I hate it there so much. I have little iron in me so I feel terrible. I try to play video games but I get bored within minutes. I hate my life.

Hi are you currently getting any help from a doctor? You sound like you have slipped into depression but obviously I cannot diagnose you as I am not a doctor. You might find meds and/or counselling can help you. I don't know if this is possible coz I guess you live in USA and I have no idea of the health system there.

One tip I will give you - you will find that you get people's full attention when you listen to them rather than talk and you will find you feel less lonely. That's something I have learned in my life. I hope you find some help soon and start to feel better. x

Do you mind me asking why you moved? Was it your choice? Can you move back if you want?

I moved with my family, and I also moved for higher education opportunities (but mostly because of my family)

If only it were that easy, my family moved out here so I have no family to go back to, my minimum wage job is no where near being able to afford a ticket back by train, plane or bus

I understand. And it is harder to meet people when you live with your family too. They can cramp your style something rotten. How about taking a second job in the evenings working in a bar, or something else if you have to be 21 there, such as a cinema or bowling alley. Anything busy and fun, and save your money up so one day you will have your freedom. Whilst you are looking, join a gym and go after work. Who knows who you might meet there.

Sounds you are depressed. You need to find new interests such as a hobby. You might be feeling insecure seen as you have just moved, you are having to get used to new people and a different schedule.

Have you tried speaking to your family?

I've talked to my dad but he's not much help

My family I the same. My Mum is unsupportive. Your doctor is the safest option. Have you ever had counselling? Counselling has never helped me but it might help you.
