I'm feeling so hopeless

I'm extremely isolated and I want a girl to date so bad and I feel that people keep talking down on me for wanting a girlfriend and I feel judged and I cry every day my depression is getting worse why don't people get that?

Have you been to a dr or therapist? Are you on any meds? If so, maybe it needs adjusted. I would definitely let your dr know.

Hi I am sorry you are feeling so bad. However I will say a girlfriend isn't a magic cure for your depression you know! It's not just about what you want, but the girl too, so think what you have to offer one.

I think you would be far better to work on yourself through therapy and maybe meds too so you can get yourself more out there and make friends. Through those friends you will meet girls and can find you have mutual feelings for each other.

I checked back on your first post and I am wondering if you saw all the replies you had? I am basically stating what they are so please think about what we have said.

But I've been depressed I've been rejected alot by the girls I liked so you can't tell me that's not the answer

I’m sorry you’re going through that, it really isn’t fair. And some things happen for no reason.

Hey Travis, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down. We all have our days.

And I agree with the other comment that said, having a girlfriend won't magically make all your problems disappear.

Maybe you should take some time for yourself and focus on getting organised first.

Cheer up and do something fun! What activities do you enjoy, like hiking, walking, or surfing?

Exercising can be really helpful too. You can find lots of helpful exercises videos on YouTube that don't need any equipment - you can workout from home.

Or if you prefer, you could go to the gym. (I personally find gyms to be quite overwhelming because of the smell of sweat and the high humidity, but that's just me!)

How about a pet? Make the day of an abandoned puppy that needs some love too. It will be great for both of you!

I hope this helps. Stay strong and take care.

PS: Friendly reminder - don't be too hard on yourself. Let's try and make the most out of each day
