feeling like reading a wall of text and giving an advice?
11 years ago
ok fuck it, I don't like to speak of my personal problems, I don't like to throw shit at anybody, but I just need help, I just need someones advice, please help me
my life is great, a family that loves me, I have a house, 3 meals every day, and a lot more of things people would kill to have, but for some reason I'm unhappy, life is shit to me, and I don't know why, I've been like this for the enough time to already got sick of it, and I've thought a lot trying to find out why, but I just can't, I've asked for help to my family,I want to go to a psychologist but now I don't think that's going to make any difference, and thanks to this depression problem I'm going really bad in school, and today I just said to my parents that I definitely want to quit school at least this year because I can't continue with it, I just feel I can't, and after a long talk they agreed.
I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, but I really don't want to quit school, I know how important it is, I still want to go, but I feel I just can't continue, every homework I have I just can't find the will to do it, I try but I can't.
and that also happens with my personal projects (wonder why I haven't posted anything new?), I think I don't have a motivation, and I can't find one, that frustrates me, makes me feel desperate and horrible.
lastly thanks to depression I have had a lot of suicidal thoughts (yeah, fucking cliche), but only today after the talk was when I was closest than ever to jump throw the window of my room, but I stopped for fear to the pain.
please, I need an advice, I just need a reason for why I lost my motivation to do anything, an advice for how to found a new one, I just need to know what to do.
and please do NOT give me that shit about god and the suicide being a sin, because, no offence, but I don't buy it.
just want a honest and useful advice. please.

I just don't want to bother anyone with my problems, but I got desperate yesterday, sorry about that
Being one of these people, I can testify to this personally.
I would also recommend a siesta from your usual schedule, potentially a vacation to reconnect with nature, or begin an exercise regiment.
All of those are healthy, active ways to help you stave off depression and help you ponder your existence.
Simply because you are not in school does not mean that you stop learning. Find something that interests you, and research it. Learn more about a subject that you Want to learn about; something that you enjoy and would like to deepen the wealth of your knowledge in.
Trying times are inevitable, but know that you have so much to learn and create within the world you exist in, Dom.
and sorry for all this thing, I don't want to be dramatic, I think I've got a little desperate yesterday
*Forcibly pulls you into a hug*
I know things are not all right.
When I was younger I had a lot of issues with depression and suicidal thoughts, and for many years I did not know why. I was capable in school, but I couldn't find the motivation to actually get it done. I was born a male, and for many years I believed that I was a straight male. Later, I would go on to date a boy. It was weird at first, but I accepted that part of me. For a while I then said that I must be gay, but then I settled on being bi. It was very hard for me to come to terms with this, but I have accepted it. I was a little happier, but still I was not happy. I felt bad because I had and have friends who care about me, I had a good job (I still do) and really I was in a good position in life. A couple years or so ago I started to really question my gender. It took me a very long time to come to terms with it, but I finally accepted that too. It's funny how I started out as a straight male, and now I'm a bi female. Along the way I was the entire LGBT lmfao
Anyways, the point I'm getting at is that I've gone through a lot and I've done a lot of self discovery, and today I can say that I'm a lot happier in my life. I can say that some of it came with age but most of it came with self discovery.
My recommendation to you would be not only what others have said, but just to take some time to yourself to relax and think. My whole point is that if what is making you depressed is not external, then it must be internal, and the only way that you are going to discover it is if you take some time to look inside yourself and find out what is really making you depressed.
Anyways, I do hope that whatever it is, you figure it out, and figure out how to proceed in your life happily <3
I tend to think a lot in myself, trying to find what is the thing that is making me so unhappy, but I haven't found anything on my own, I'm going to go with a psychologist to see if that can help me to find a specific problem.
thanks for stopping by and give me your advice, for any reason you did, I really appreciate it
and sorry for answering after so long, I've thinking a lot in all the things people said here
I found myself questioning a lot of stuff especially with gender and I've learned that guys who are really guys dont wonder stuff like that, like I'd really like to bear a child but physically I will never be able to do such a thing. It makes me sad on its own but at the same time that's an example of something guys just dont think about or want.
As for the gender thing, when I dated that one guy I said that I wasn't entirely sure yet if I was into guys or not yet and he said that he understood and it ended up being alright. I'm not saying to just go out there and date someone tho
Basically I remember I was holding myself back from discovering things about myself because I wanted to be "normal," but I learned that being normal is pretty boring. I've accepted that I'm pretty weird, and a lot of people know more or less how weird I am and they accept me. Dont worry about holding yourself to a standard if it limits who you are on the inside.
my problem is with the people that is close to me, I know my family loves me, but I don't know how they would react if I even say something like that, even if it is just to find answers, I guess I'm scared, because I don't think I could live by myself if they expel me from the house
It's taken me a while to be sure about it though. You should discuss all of this with your therapist too and see what they have to say about it
