Well, everyone in my family thinks that i am getting more and more gloomy by the day. That because i keep myself locked up in the room and i am just watching or either reading stuff. I cant handle this life and i think its about time that i go out and take a break with this hard life.

I get like this sometimes too and before I let it get to me quickly I do something about it. I usually call up a friend and go do something with them. I hate being coped up on the house for to long i get depressed and go stir crazy. I make plans now throughout the week with friends and my boyfriend so I'm not always stuck at home. And the plans usually don't cost money because I never have extra money after paying bills. But you should start setting stuff up or going out to meet new people. Good luck

i wouldn't say that all human beings are social. i enjoy not really having any friends.. it eliminates alot of drama.

I'm not saying that everyone is. But it does help to go out and meet people so your not sitting home by yourself all the time and feeling lonely and depressed. I been like this for many years I would never go anywhere and just sit home in my room on the internet or reading books and didn't have a social life. Now that I have a social life my life aspect has changed for the better. No longer depressed and I enjoy life to the fullest.

Oh its not good that you are going to gloomy day by day its not a good sign. Remember that depression is nothing its just the stupidity of our mind. But you know we must think about why we are born? And must find the reason of our birth and our aim of life. Its good that you are studying but read some funny and subjective story it will help you to take interest in your life.

I think that a day out somewhere would make you feel a lot happier. An interesting city or a beautiful beach depending on the weather where you live might be great. You could visit an art gallery or a museum. You might like to have a picnic outdoors. If you have enough money you could have a vacation.
I think joining an exercise class, visiting the library regularly and going to a favorite place could help you long term. Good luck.

i can understnd your situation cause i have been through the same before...you see..when we lock up in our room and do our own things,we arent socialising and humans are social beings...by going out,meeting friends and new people,our.inner self becomes very happy and that projects out..so in short being happy inside makes us happy outside as well...so go out there and enjoy with your friends..and if you wanna read books,do it with your parents nearby....so that way they are happy in seeing you and you get to.do what you like as well..but go out abd socialise...eventually you'll see a big difference and you'll even be more happy

i agree we are essentially social being but for me, my friends are someone i got to know while i was in college or school now that everything is over i have no one who wants to talk to me or they have their own life that they wish to live and i dont want to impose myself on them. That is what i feel.

There must be some reason behind it, lol you should go out of the room to parks, friend's home, talk to them and ventilate your feelings; when in room you can watch tv, read books, hear music.

You should most definitly go out ,if you feel you cant handle the life you have right now. Being alone is only good from time to time. You need to be sosial aswell,atleast get out and get fresh air. Have a convensation with a friend,loose at first and then deeper into it when you feel comfortable.
Life isnt just hard when we are kids or teenagers, but also when we are adults. It is how we deal with the problems that will make our lives abit easier. Doing nothing is the worst you can do.

i do like to meet people who are interesting but i am shy and i dont what them to think that i am trying to be over nice to them or something like that. Ya being shy is a bit of a problem that i cant strike a conversation at all and the other person thinks that i am a moody type but i am not. well that how life is for me.

Try to socialize once in awhile, salma. You can open your FB account and chat with your friends there.
That way, though you are just locked up in your room, you get to socialize too.

I feel the same way. I have been thinking and worrying too much and I was on the verge of depression. I still feel it linger and now it has broken, but I was a sad puppy there for a while.
Things could be worse I think but I dont know how...
They will get better, I have a little faith.

Hi friend, we must be very careful before taking any decision in our life. Some times we will take some wrong decisions based on the situation, we must avoid this kind of activity and take important decisions after analyzing various things

You should kick out that depression inside of you before it gets the best in you. Try to unwind and do things that you enjoy doing. Do not confine yourselves in the corners of your room. Try to breath some fresh air...

There are times when life itself presents us with very difficult aspect, when we think we should have time for ourselves. It is normal to be left alone but more importantly not to leave loved ones guessing what might have gone wrong. I think its not out of place to let those that care (here, your family members) know what is really happening, that way you would have let yourself loose.

you need to go out at least once a week or once every two weeks. Locking you self in your room will make you weaker each day. Don't be so hard on yourself. Be positive and enjoy life.
Try also to mingle with people who have good influence on you. Those who have positive outlooks in life and who are God-fearing.

There are two kinds of depression, my friend. An ordinary short-time depression and a deep long lasting depression. In case of a long lasting depression is better to go to a doctor than to suffer it alone. Be careful and care about yourself. Also I will recommend you to pray to God regularly.

i think that is the best thing for you while feeling like that. go out and do something for a while. take your mind of things. i know it's a small thing, but it does help. i often feel this way myself.

being single and not having friends can cause depression. i have been that way also for many years. i would not say i have been able to defeat that situation but at least i am bit better now.
