Question by NobodyevenlikesMorgan: my depression has come back?
ok, so, i use to be extremely depressed. i hated everybody and everything around me. i even hated God.(i always knew God was real, but i hated him for what I THOUGHT he did to me) i was like that for 3 months almost. i had suffered from mild depression for about 4 years before that because of my parents divorce, and my mothers alcoholism. i had never really gotten over my parents divorce. but recently, things have been getting better. and i felt like God was showing me that life was getting better. but then, i felt used and unwanted. and now i feel really helpless, unwanted, and lonely. i don’t know what made me like this. i especially feel unwanted. what do you think about this.

i have been seeing a counselor for a few months now, so please don’t answer with “see someone or a counselor.”

thanks.

Unwanted is a horrible thing to feel. Personally, I think it’s one of the worst things you can feel. But the odds are pretty good that although you feel that way, it’s not actually the case. Do you have at least one friend? And by friend, I mean anybody that cares, younger, older, male, female, teacher, sibling, anything. Because if there is anybody in your life that is glad you’re here, you are wanted. That might not make you feel any better, but stop and take a deep breath.

It is ok to feel sucky. It is ok to feel unwanted. Feeling unwanted doesn’t MAKE me unwanted.

Do you ‘want’ yourself? Think of some things you life about yourself, some good qualities. Stop and appreciate yourself. So life sucks. Are you coping pretty well? Stop and pat yourself on the back. It won’t take away the ache inside, but it will shrink it a bit, eventually. Hang in there.
