Okay, so ... I hope it's okay if I take you, or you simply say to you, etc. .. So to me that you restrict.
So for now I would like to clarify that I am not a hypochondriac, but I just thought that I do and damned hard to talk about it.
And I want to ask me to take you seriously and not make fun of me.
Here ... with my problem is depression.
I've always been pretty good in school, lots of nice friends and a really nice family and everything else is fine in my environment, but I can not shake this feeling.
Lately I've become worse in campus, not bad, but I have the feeling of not enough. This feeling of not being good enough.
It's not that I wanted to take my life or anything, but I'm always thinking about it and I think that no one likes me and that I'm useless ...
I have informed myself on the internet, there was only confirmed to me everything.
I can not really say how it started, but I remember my last relationship. In the boys I was in love for very long. I became friendly with him and then eventually he confessed his love. I do not think that I have not loved him, but I could not decide if I love him or not, though I was just about in love so madly in love with him. Nevertheless, I decided with him "to come together."
It may be that he would not have loved enough, or had crushed with his love because he loved me so much .. more than I did.
I knew many moments that I had to prop feel something, but there was nothing.
Eventually, I ended the relationship because he would have felt in my view, at some point that I could not. I just could not feel anything. After the separation, I had no right to be mad at him, but I did anyway. I hated him. I think this hatred was not directed at him but to myself
I have fallen in recent times in a very strong social stress. I'm always afraid I would not do to others, I would have liked the least. I am affectionate and cry more. This feeling is indescribable.
Sometimes I ask myself why I go to school. I was always open for new experiences, learned, learned and my greatest strength was my concentration, but all this has subsided.
I have the feeling to just be useless. Like it's been a while so ... I know that my friends! And yet I doubt it.
I fell a few months ago in a very weak aspirin tablet addiction, if such it can be described as such. I started when it came with too much bad and I was thinking 4-6 tablets dosed very easy to take.
But I am smart enough to know what's going on, and when I spoke to a very good friend, I began to immediately stop. It was not easy but it worked at first go. In recent months, I've often barricaded in my room.
But it is not so that I could not laugh, for God's sake, quite the opposite.
Outwardly, I appear quite normal I think, but inside I feel *******.
This should be here not a stupid cry for attention and not something I write here, but these are my feelings and it is not easy to talk about it.
I want and can not continue. Can anyone tell me a tip how I can overcome that. I tried it with positive thinking! On all the best advice would be, do not refer me to a psychologist or some kind of pills.

You have narrated your story in details. It could be depressing if once faces break in a relationship from either end. Remember! time is the greatest of healers and you will recover gradually with the passage of time. Please try to keep yourself busy, as much as you can and if any depressing thoughts come, let those thoughts come and ponder over it. You cannot undo your past, or can you?, therefore, it would be better to forget the sad events/past memories which trouble you. Life is full of challenges and you could take the unfruitful events as an experience to face the oddity in future. All the best. You can always discuss your problems here on mylot.

hi ...,
I hope all will be good, you're right. I have to forget the bad past. Indeed, today I found it difficult to do that, but I must try and try, hopefully all is fleeting. Honestly, such a situation so painful to me. I'm confused what to do. But, at least, I have little faith in me that will all be back to normal. Although it must take a long time.

Wow, great description, great introspection.
Since about 2 years I have to do with people in the private room and purely by chance, having to do with mental illnesses that go beyond the normal level of winter blues etc. I've watched how people cope with suffering, with and without pills, with or without a doctor, Psyhotherapeut, psychiatrists, therapy, stop. I have drawn the following conclusions:
1st For each it works differently and each needs a different kind of help, even if some look the same to me as a layman.
2nd Everyone else is aware of his illness. You go to very consciously with all watching, I can even change negative-think the best starting point. For me you were a fantastic mature patient who should co-decide exactly what is being done.
There are also those who think themselves that everything is OK and normal, and you're standing next to it and just wondering.
3rd I think, now, seek professional help for an important step conscious. This can be for a family doctor first if you have the necessary confidence to that, considered together with the one who can do what you can wherever you go. There are those practitioners who are also on duty Checkout integrity enough to take some time.
4th Get advise you. Literature search, go into the net. Go into forums, chat-rooms. Swap you out.
5th Do something. And not oä sports, but do something specific. Drawing conclusions from points 3 and 4 and then let you accordingly for you help from the persons in question. Emotional needs are just as bad as physical - and you have for yourself and find your well-being, ways to do you good. If you do so ourselves, nothing will happen. Only you yourself can you get out there eventually. You bear responsibility for your well-being.
Good luck!

Hello,
I read your rather long - however, very VERY good - read execution alone. You have a very good picture of it conveys,
- What you feel and
- What moves you and
- What you worried.
Mmmmmmm ...
First of all I want to assure you that you certainly do not / are the only one who feel that way.
In fact, I think it is - just today - many people like this: one carries that burden around with them, no she looks so pretty, and yet it expresses the mood enormously.
You want tips ... - If it were that simple ...
I myself was - and perhaps still am - in a similar situation.
What does one do there?
Before a consultation with a psychologist, I myself have also been taken still distance. Maybe because I tell myself, "You can still think clearly - what do we need outside help".
This is why I have so tried and the, for example, autogenic training and literature on "depression."
Alone helped me correct, this does not really.
I think it so that my great-brain (that is my reason, my "clear" thinking) again and again against my cerebellum (my instincts, my by "educating" acquired "I") is struggling.
It seems to me like it is with you ...
If it is so because, I think it is substantively important that your small brain (instincts, etc.) is NOT "high water" on your cerebrum ("Reason") given.
As literature, I would ask you first - as a "quick action" - the book
- "The Fear Book"
. recommend Do you get at amazon.de or ask for in your favorite bookstore.
For myself, I've found there though NOT the "golden solution", but the book points to many stereotypes, and it is popular - not scientifically - written. The author is an authority in the field "fears".
Meanwhile, final advice:
Is ultimately important - I stress it again - that your cerebrum (ie, your "reason" - your "clear rational thought") the "upper hand" reserves. However, if your cerebellum (the "damn" Fear - Your instincts) are trying to monopolize your cerebrum, which you'll surely notice. But then you should definitely get medical attention - or psychological help - take advantage.
Although I did this - so far - not needed, I tell you: you do not shy away from that! Did not many scruples!
I see it: and diseases "in the head" are ultimately just like any other disease. Unfortunately, "the head disease" in our society are still taboo subjects, of which we should say goodbye though. Reason: there are hundreds of thousands of people with similar problems.
Love pepperoni,
- Meet now no hasty decisions
- Think - again - in peace about your situation after
-, Considering even the "Fear Book" (see above) to read
- Stay cool and calm as possible - nothing and no one forces you to hasty action
- Try, at least in the short term to feel in any way, "Joy", perhaps by you on (day) target reach, what you have put yourself (sounds trite, but it works great!)
- If you like, you can also write me an email
Lots of love - I'm with you! - Sends you
P.S: I read your post again (!). I am enormously impressed on how clear and understandable you your position, your feelings, describe to. Big respect! That will be solved. Certainly! Again, many dear respectable greetings!

A psychologist would help you barely can, but in all probability a psychotherapist.
If it is indeed a depression, so that you can not be done alone and without professional medical assistance, there is a serious, mental illness.
Advice of the category "Sports propellant tear! Yourself together! Go for a walk! Take a few days off! Go try!" etc. are absolutely useless - a depressed person that does not help, it looks more like a mockery.
Let you transfer from your family doctor to a psychotherapist - there are different forms of therapy, healing and the chances of success are all very large.
