Depressed, what should I do?

Question

I'm severely depressed and I don't have insurance to see a therapist. I dropped out of almost all of my classes last semester in college because of the severity. Everytime I make new friends they turn out to be really selfish and uncaring towards me. I don't have anyone to talk to or anyone that I can trust, I feel totally alone and I don't know what to do.

Answer 1

try to go out and speak to people about it and try to go back in school if your not in yet try to get better friends and don't worry everyone has there days of deppression but don't let it get to much think possitive don't think neggative or else you will get more negative go out to places that make you feel good and relaxed and sad music just makes it way worse i really wish you good luck on that stay possitive :)

Answer 2

what gives girl?? what is making you so down? Is it circumstantial depression over something that has happened? Or do you have a chemical imbalance? If you feel alone you can turn to God. I am not trying to be some preachy bible girl..

I have dealt with depression before and when I was so low, no one was there for me. I turned to God and just started talking to him like a friend. To this day, He is my best friend. It may sound foolish, but he really is the only one who cares and is actually listening. He is there when all the world walks out and when others do not understand your feelings. You will get through this. In the mean time, pray...what do you have to lose? I will pray for you too and God promises peace.

Answer 8

Depending on where you live........some cities have "free clinics"  Not really free, but the cost is minimal compared to having to pay a full out of pocket bill.

You should try and get seen at a place like that.  You don't necessarily have to talk w/ a therapist.  A family practice doc. can prescribe some kind of anti-depressant medication.  I'm on Wellbutrin (have been on that for about 5 yrs.) It helps me out so much.  I have better days than bad ones.  Things seem to lighten up a bit and you don't feel as down all the time..........you get your energy back and smile more ofen than not.  I totally recommend that you get seen and ask about the Wellbutrin meds.  Good luck.
