Hi. I am new here.

Before I had an actual acc on here, but I deleted it and wanted to restart. I am dealing with severe depression, I rely on others for happiness, and get sad extremely quickly when I notice other people having a better life.

I also always have hypochondria or health anxiety. I always feel like I'm going to die soon, and that all the symptoms I experience are leading up to my death. :(

softheart, it sounds like a very sad and unfulfilling life you live. I don't know if anyone

really has a better life than you, they just learned how to accept what life gives them.

Looking for happiness from others isn't real. It must come from within you in order to

be fulfilled. We all need a reason for living, a reason to get up and accomplish something

that will give us purpose.

Having health anxiety and focusing on death instead of living is giving you severe

depression. Seeing a professional can help start you on a different path in life,

physically and mentally. Something happened along the way that stopped you

from loving yourself and looking to yourself for happiness. Because of this disconnection

it has made you focus on dark thoughts such as dying.

Life is about living and growing emotionally. We all have a reason we are here. Some

people live that reason and find happiness in it. Life is Good and I hope you realize that

sooner than later. :) xx

I am sorry that you feel this way. I sympathize with you as I too, am diagnosed with severe depression. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Have you tried counseling or are you on medication? As everyone is different, I don't know what will work with you but for me, I listen to uplifting music, watch funny shows, take a walk, and stay off of social media. Please realize that Facebook and Instagram isn't real. People continually post the best side of their lives on these sites, but that is not the whole picture of their lives. Only a small part. EVERYONE has issues and problems - even if you don't see them. I know it's hard but try not to compare your life with others. The comparison game is a lose-lose situation. You either end up feeling inferior or superior to someone else. Neither is desirable. Instead, think about what you could do to improve your life so that you are happy, and create a plan to accomplish it. Finally, and most importantly, I turn to my Bible to help me remember how precious and loved I am. Please take care of yourself. There is only one you and you are unique, beautiful, and very much loved. God bless.
