I've been feeling sad a lot easier lately, how can I get over it?

Question

I thin jealousy is part of it.

I'm sitting in the lunch room. We are assigned to our tables by whatever class we're currently in. So I can just get up and sit with whoever I want. [which I find dumb]

Anyways, I have 5+ friends in my class of 11.

But like, i don't know everybody seems to be talking with somebody else.

Like the person whom I consider my best friend is always hanging out with this other girl, and these other three guys.

My other best friend is always talking to one of my other friends.

and I'm just sitting there, listening to the whole cafeteria talking, and it makes me feel so alone.

This started yesterday.

I start to feel so alone in the world. Nobody has declared me as their best friend, nobody is my boyfriend.

At the beginning of the day, normally I'm pretty hyper/happy.

But as the day goes by the mood quickly gets ruined.

I just feel all alone in the world. I feel like nobody understands me either.

Typical feelings, I know.

But I'm not the type of person to get like this. I'm normally upbeat, making sarcastic jokes, and if I've had caffeine, then I'm really hyper and I wont shut up.

But lately I've just felt so alone, and I keep getting more and more sad.

How can I get out of this slump?

Any advice?

Answer 1

Have you tried talking to your friends? Naturally, you're going to feel alone if you just sit there. In order to have a best friend you have to be a best friend. Don't just sit there expecting everyone to come to you. You have to reach out and show that  you're interested in what's going on.

Answer 2

Take 5-htp.  It's the best antidepressant I've ever come across and you can get it from walmart for about eight bucks and it's really cheap online.

Answer 3

Virtually everyone experiences loneliness from time to time, with many people becoming especially aware of feelings of loneliness around the holiday season, Valentine’s Day, and during times of extreme stress. While the sheer number of people who experience loneliness is quite large, people don’t always talk about feelings of loneliness, and don’t always know what to do with these feelings.

If you’re experiencing loneliness, there are some things you can do about it.

Join a Class.

Whether it’s an art class, an exercise class, or a class at your local community college, joining a class automatically exposes you to a group of people who share at least one of your interests.

Volunteer.

Becoming a volunteer for a cause you believe in can provide the same benefits as taking a class — meeting others, being part of a group, creating new experiences — and also brings the benefits of altruism, and can help you find more meaning in your life, both of which can bring greater happiness and life satisfaction, as well as decreasing loneliness.

Find Support Online

Because loneliness is a somewhat widespread issue, there are many people online who are looking for people to connect with.

Strengthen Existing Relationships

You probably already have people in your life that you could get to know better, or connections with family that could be deepened.

Get A Pet

Pets — especially dogs and cats — carry so many benefits, and preventing loneliness is one of them. Rescuing a pet combines the benefits of altruism and companionship, and leaves you with several loneliness-fighters.
