-- Posted by moos1940 at 8:47 am on Oct. 13, 2006 i find myself depressed all the time im not exactly sure what to do about it. Everything in life bothers me. My parents and i fight constantly because i just do what i want. I dont really help them around the house or anything and for a while probably the last three months i was getting drunk everynight driving home but that came to a stop because I recently got a DUI and a sppeding ticket the week after. I dont think i fit in ith my friends i love hanging out with them and we all cool and stuff but our interests are so different. I hate college. i barely do any of my work the only class i like is my welding and my teacher in there said that i need to get all the partying out of my system but thats not the problem. im just depressed so much. I also cant hold onto a relationship i find a girl thats remotely interested in me it seems like i push them away cuz i like them to much..I havent had a relationship in two years and i have gone out on maybe 5 dates since. I really hate life right now and i dont know what to do. -- Posted by gothicvixie at 8:56 am on Oct. 13, 2006 im really sorry you feel this way. i think that life can be totaly crap so much of the time and sometimes you just need someone to talk tyo and understand. i cant promise to understand but i can promise to listen any tinme. just pm me anytime you want x -- Posted by closetoborder at 5:36 pm on Oct. 13, 2006 Hi Moos1940. I am 21,f,Tx. You are - ~Depressed all the time ~Not helping your parents ~Drinking ~Reckless Driving ~Feeling inferior ~Having a hard time with school ~Too clingy too fast ~Hating life ~Confused about your future Right? You may recieve this suggestion, or maybe you won't, but from me.  I cannot say I am never depressed.  That would be far from the truth.  I have found that exercise (such as swimming or running), working on something that makes you feel important (something no one else can do as well as you can), or simply learning about one particular subject to a great extent can make your mood, and self-esteem rise greatly. With following through with this advice - You find something that you can enjoy on your own.  Feeling inferior won't take place because with doing something you alone can do - you feel better about yourself.  With finding something you love to do, you can let your girlfriend have her free time, just as you will eventually want.  As a young man (I'm young as well) helping your parents can make you feel better about yourself because when you honestly feel that they trust, need, and are thankful toward you, you will have a greater respect for yourself.  In turn, with all of this, your depression will EVENTUALLY wither away.  It will not happen immediately. -closetoborder
