18 years old, sad all the time and life is worthless. Do you agree?

Question

been depress since 11, and don't trust pyschiatrist. Like they care! you have to pay a stranger to listen to your problem, that's kinda sad.

It's even sad right now, because i'm sure none of you could care less about me. Humans don't care! I give up. Nothing's worth living anymore. No point in life. living for what?to go to college and then get a job? to make money and work some more? No point.

no one can help me. and i'm sure no one will.

Answer 1

When you say no one cares, you are mistaken. I don't even know you, but I care. I just lost my brother to suicide and it has broken my heart and nearly destroyed my mom. Nothing will ever be the same. Please don't do anything bad to yourself.

I know you feel horrible right now, but things can get better. If you don't want to go to college, you don't have to. In fact, maybe you should think of something else that interests you. You can always go back to college when you are older if you want to.

Working just to make money isn't very appealing to anyone. But working at something you enjoy is much more interesting.

First, however, please give the doctors a chance. If you are not being helped by your doctors, then feel free to look for a doctor who really can help you.

Life is precious. Even grieving like I am for my brother right now, I still am glad to be alive and don't want to give up even one second of my life. Because I know that the potential is there for life to be really good and I don't want to miss out on it.

I wish I knew how to help you. All I can do is tell you that I DO care. Even tho we are strangers, I don't want anything bad to happen to you and I want things to get better for you. Please hang on...even one day can make a difference sometimes.

Answer 2

maybe not EVERY psychiatrist cares but there are definitely some out there that do...probably most of them..

i care about you, i don't know you, but i care that you feel like this, i've felt like this.

of course life is worth living, it's all how you make it, you should find something that your passionate about or do anything thing that you like to do, things that make you laugh and smile.

i totally know what your saying about the whole go to college, get a job, blah blah blah...same routine...but then i realized that you really have to find something that your passionate about...i want to help people in some way through my future job, and that is what i will do...if you don't think psychologists care, then why don't you go to school and become one yourself, you can help others in your current situation and figure yourself out along the way.

...so really, the only purpose of life that i have found so far is to enjoy it, and help others which in turn makes me happy

an being a pessimist and a cynic (and a lot of the time i am that way) doesn't really work, its not worth it, it's wasting precious time.

and besides all that, there is another point to living, you may be so wrapped up in 'humans don't care' that you don't realize how many (and really the number of people that do doesn't matter) people really do care about you and how they would miss you when you were gone....so don't even think about suicide, can you just imagine your family member finding you, that is the worst possible thing you could do to everyone you know.

sure there are a lot of crappy people, but just let yourself be one of the good ones...try to help those that have gone wrong....just be happy with yourself and make the best of things, do the things that make you happy, make your life even MORE purposeful...

Answer 3

You need to get out and have some fun.  Go party, meet someone get a makeover, find a hobby, listen to music, make a friend, get a puppy,  eat some icecream,  swim with dolphins, paint a rainbow and then see if you feel the same way.  Hope this cheers you up.

Answer 4

I m depressed everyday. I was just trying to find a way to control my anger and came across this question. Now u know what I m talking about. I left my job 2 weeks ago. I was making 6 grands a month. something I never thought I could. But I wasn't happy. The job often stressed me up. My Boss was really friendly to me until before last 6 weeks. He started to give me hard time over small things. I was again being mentally tortured, I went through that one for 4 weeks and then I find out he was just playing games with me. That hurt me really bad, because I know and he told people around him that I am one of his best. Do you treat your best by giving them c**p? I asked him what did I do to deserve this. I told him I believed in u. I thought of you as my Guru. He realized what he did was wrong, but instead ignored it saying that it's just business. I quit my job the same day. That leaves me where? Thinking the world is the worst place to live in. People are turned so cold, running after money and status. They just don't care about others. I don't know how far these people are going to go before they have no connection with human life anymore. But what makes me proud is that I am not one of them. I am still the same person at heeart than I was 10 years ago. I care about people, I see things not from the money prospects. This is not thr first time I have been done wrong. That does not make me wana commit suicide. More than anything I love in my life is my fiance. she is thousands miles away from me but when I hear her voice I realize this is life, not money. Find out if you have something out there you can live for. It could be anything or someone special. Just go with the flow man.  

Answer 5

Hi, I'm 16 and male, ive suffered from depression for the last 3 years

sorry i cant help because my opinion is like word for word, what u just wrote. I'd also like to see the answer to this question

Answer 6

I know where you are coming from. I am 17 and I have nothing to show for all the hard work I do in life. i have bipolar and depression to. For me the best method was to meet people with the same problems as you have so you both can work together in a team. bumps in the road are easy to overcome when more people put a effort to it. I have been through a lot of therapy and it never helped me. The best person to help you right now in your life will be a best friend with good moral values. You don't have to listen to my advice I'm just letting you know what has helped me overcome a lot in my life already.

Answer 7

there's a reason u were born.. i was depressed when i was a teenager but the only thing that helped me was praying. i dont know what your going through but i know your not alone. there's a lot of people who were depressed and got through it..  and there are people who care about you :) find something worth living for. Dont you have dreams or goals that you wanna accomplish? you have a lot to live for trust me!

Answer 8

A lot of people go to a doctor and a psychologist because they need help to live, what you call, a boring life.  Id call it a normal life.

People care however they have to get to know you first and if you are not a friend then you wont have any friends.  Also friends tend to share both their good and bad times, they swap information and help each other out.

Most people find that helping other people, building and maintaining relationships with other people makes life worth living.

Many people enjoy the challenge of either college or their job and wouldnt have it any other way.  Some people even love making money so that they are able to get the things that they want.  Others just love their work because it gives them a sense of pride.

Answer 9

Hey, Life isn't worthless.  I do care about you.  You may not think I do, but I do!  I have had depression on and since I was a teenager.  My best friend also had depression and attempted suicide.  I know what you are going through.  As crazy as it sounds, it really helped me to get on meds.  I know not everyone agrees with treating depression with meds, but for me it really helped me to not cry all the time and feel like crud.  I feel for what you are going through and I hope and pray you can stop feeling how you feel and get some help.  

Answer 10

the only reason people are depressed is because they limit themselves in their own experiences of the world. try to come out of the confines of you surroundings and look beyond. there are experiences out there that you cannot even fathom. you say people dont care, i say you are wrong. people do care, i dont know where you are from but there are places where where people genuinely care for each other and live in harmony. and look at you, you are just 18 years old and already giving up on life. your life has not even started yet! look around you and see the others, you feel you are trapped in this vicious cycle of studies, college, work, earning etc etc with all of them. well let me tell you something there is no escape from studying and working to earn money. but thats just a minisicule part of your life. its what else you do apart from all that is how you will define your life. My advice to you is travel, see the world. meet new people from new places. your whole perspective on life will change. and if you want a truly life changing experience i suggest you visit Goa in India. dont ask me why, just once in your life go there. you will never be the same again.

Answer 11

um are u slightly paranoid by any chance? or just very depressed and disillusioned with society and humanity. well be happy im not human, well i am biologically human but otherwise... ok that sounds slightly insane. well meh talk to me, im intrested i also dislike some1 being like you. you never know i may be some help, or i could just be some1 to laugh at. either way good luck.

Answer 12

I know exactly what you mean. I think the same way. So, I just want to let you know that you're not alone. Having that defeated attitude, and maybe feeling a bit helpless. I feel that way right now. BUT you have to believe that you're worth something. You're alive right now, right? So live your life! Try and be happy, (even though I shouldn't be talking), you've got to believe it. I'm struggling to believe that now, but just think that you're life is too short to waste, and believe that nothing will come of it. You can ALWAYS turn your life around, you've just got to be willing enough to do it. Sure, it might take some time, but it's worth a shot. I mean, just think of it this way, you're life could be worse, (not that I know how you're life is, or anything). At least you're not African American like me, where you KNOW you'll never get a chance at life or anything. So just remember that. I hope this will help you, and isn't;t just seen as me rambling. I'm sorry if it does. =[

Answer 13

You are wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong again.

1 Psychiatrists do care.

2 They want some of your time, and can only help when you want help.

3 Some bring the price down if you ask.

4 You can go to the state psychiatrist too.

5 I Care, because I know what it feels like.

6 Life is worth living just for the thrill of living.*

7. You make money to live, not live to earn money.

8 And nothing says you must work - I don't

9 I know someone who will and can help you..... the one in the mirror.

10 Start reading Dr. M Scott Peck and Dr. Wayne D. Dyer books.

11 and remember that in 2 to 6 weeks time so much has changed that your current problems are gone.

12 Also Eckhard Tolle - A new earth.

Love, peace and strength.

* Live is now.  Not last week, or yesterday.  Neither tomorrow nor next month.  Live now. Only now. (I was depressed for 25 years.)
