Depression :: Feeling Really Low And Useless
Apr 21, 2015
I am really unsure where to turn or what to do etc - last year I had a very stressful situation in my life and took some time off work - every now and then I get really low in mood and became quite tearful etc - over the past few days I'm just feeling really low and "useless" I find myself taking every little comment so personally and getting myself into such a state, I feel so helpless and wonder why I am here - when I look at my life and my age I just feel like "is this it" this is what my life is going to be like forever? I never have any money and constantly have to borrow tonight I found myself considering hurting myself just so I could feel something if that makes sense - is this depression? Or am I just feeling sorry for myself?

My bf has been horrible 2 me recently! Last night we were out and we had been out all day in the sun and he'd had 6 pints! We had r kids with us (he has 3 I have 1) and he got a message off his friend asking to meet up. I said no because he had promised his 6 year old daughter he'd would take him to school next day, and also when he goes out with his friend he has a habit not coming home until after 2! We had a fight I came to my mums with my little boy!! He's been texting me abuse all day saying I'm a selfish bitch & he wants to end it!! I can't stop crying my anxiety is through the roof! I just feel useless 😢

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I've decided to post here because I don't know where to turn. I've been feeling suicidal because I have no social life, I'm behind in school and I switched to a charter school so that I could graduate faster but this only made my situation worse. On the first day of school I went to my class and I felt so overwhelmed by the amount of people in one class. After school I went crying to the principal because I knew that my social anxiety was never going to leave me alone no matter how much I tried. So she helped me by putting me in a small office with another teacher and another girl who has Social anxiety too but she rarely ever comes to school.
Today, I was alone all day because both the teacher and the other student didn't come. I felt so alone and I couldn't concentrate on my packets (school work) which is pretty typical because I've been having problems focusing in school since last school year. I told another staff member if I could stay home and do my work instead of coming to school because I just didn't like being alone and I couldn't concentrate but she said I couldn't do that because I had to come to school so that they get paid. Honestly I don't know what to do. I can't drop out of school , there are no online school services in my area, and I don't wanna go back to a regular public school because having 8 different classes a day was a nightmare to me last year.
My parents already know of my problems but they can't help me. Honestly I don't wanna go to school tomorrow because I'm just feeling so depressed and I can't take it anymore. my dad thinks I'm procrastinating. Honestly, he doesn't understand exactly how I feel. I feel like the whole world is falling on me and I feel like I'm never going to succeed in life, which is one of the things my dad himself told me.
I don't know what to do or where to turn to. I can't dropout of high school or take online school and I can't get medical help because my parents don't have health care.

Been on venlafaxine since 3 months. I'm up to 225 mg which seemed to working a treat, however, I do get the odd day of anxiety here and there. Today is probably the worst. It started as racing heart a few days ago. Now I'm getting the tinglings, nervous tummy, feeling a bit down. I'm really scared that I've got treatment resistance depression/anxiety.
I took some MDMA whilst on holiday last June, which kicked this whole thing off.
It's just so soul destroying as I felt on top of the world earlier this week.

I am a 51 year old female and had a physical last week with my general practitioner because it has been a long time. It included blood tests. One test was about the thyroid and I've got conflicting information about the result.
The report says:
TSH Reflex to Free T4
TSH RFLX is 8.25 - and is high, the normal range is shown as 0.40-4.50
T4, FREE
Thyroxine, Free, Direct - 0.8 - and is in range, range is shown as 0.8-1.8
I've done some research and it looks like this combination falls in the hypothyroidism range. However, my doctor says it is fine because the T4 FREE number is in range. There is no family history of thyroid problems. I'm concerned because I have some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (fatigue, depression, feeling cold).
Does this sound right to those of you who have experience with thyroid disease? Should I see an endocrinologist?

I'm only 17 years old. I have felt the way i feel now for months. I am not pregnant before anyone suggests that!
I suffered from a disease/illness where my glands swelled up til they were huge and you could clearly see them. I had a fever all day, i would go cold and the hot, i had no energy at all and was generally sick! The doctor gave me some antibiotics and it cleared up.
Ever since then i have not been myself. I feel sick at some point during the day, i constantly have a weird feeling in my head, its not pain as such, but like a numbing feeling and irritation. I feel like im going to faint all the time, im weak and very tired, i also get chest pains from time to time & my breathing is rubbish, its hard to breath at times, i generally feel like im dying
I have had countless blood tests and all of them showed nothing!
This totally upset me because im frustrated, i just want it to be over!!
The doctor told me just to have lots of water and exercise.
My family were convinced that i suffer from anxiety and panic attacks!
As i had a panic attack due to the fact i felt so ill i thought i was dying!
It wasn't just happening to me for no reason the attack.
so they took me to the doctor where he told me my symptoms were that of anxiety and panic attacks so he gave me some tablets to take.
But i still feel the same!!
I do not believe that i have anxiety
I am sick if people believing that is what it is!!

I didn't know where to put this, because I don't really know why I have been feeling so thirsty, just that I am and have been. Kind of hard to put a time frame on it, but I think it's been a couple of months, more or less. As far as diabetes, that's an easy answer, but I had blood tests a month ago, and I was normal (had a large range of tests in many areas and was pretty much normal). I also had been checking my sugar manually a month ago just because I wanted to see if I had it.
I notice that if I have a savory meal (i.e. with salt, obviously), I am more thirsty, but I pretty much never eat anything that salty ever, and I also have been eating the same types of food that I've always eaten my entire life, and haven't had this issue.
I already emailed my doctor, and will eventually set up an appointment with her.

Ok so I'm 36 weeks and 2 days and I've gained an insane 50 lbs. It doesn't help that I'm 5'2" and my husband is 6'3" our little girl is HUGE. I also know as women we should embrace our pregnant bodies, but I just started becoming swollen and I can't help but feel like a damn oompa loompa. I'm not looking for a way to feel better it would just be nice to hear I'm not the only one feeling like a huge cow...

Last night i had sex with my girlfriend and i did it from behind (on her vagina). So we were both in the moment and things were definitely heated up, and then i felt a tingling feeling on the tip of my penis. kinda feels like when i pee something. mind you, this isn't a constant tingling feeling but a tingle only just at that moment.
CAN ANYONE ENLIGHTEN ME WHAT THAT IS?
IS IT PARTIAL EJACULATION (NOT DRY ORGASM, BUT WHEN YOU DISCHARGE SEMEN, NOT PRECUM, A BIT BEFORE REACHING FULL ORGASM)?
*Mind you again, i did not reach orgasm right away that moment, took me quite awhile actually before i actually came. when i pulled out, i checked the hole of my penis (the meatus, am i correct?) it was absent of any white liquid. I tried "squeezing out" my penis to see if there was any liquid coming out, but nothing.

I been an occasional weed smoker for about two years now. 3 weeks ago I started feeling anxiety while I was sober. I had a few bad trips before , I'd say about 3-4 and I just thought everyone experiences them since it is a DRUG. The one time I took some really potent stuff and I smoked the next morning while I still felt high. It was a really good high then it went downhill, that same week I started vomiting and feeling a high feeling when i was sober. At first i thought it would leave by the day but it lasted a good 8 days before I started feeling better. About 4 days later I took a little hit and it was in a closed area so it was a form of hotboxing so I might've took more than I planned, also I got faded with some drinks that night with some friends. I started having the same anxiety/panicky feeling the next day and I'm still feeling them wondering whats wrong with me. Its feel like forever and the days seem longer since I can only get maybe 1 hour of sleep. It seems worst this time around and I feel the same detachment just with more worry because it happening again so close to the last time. My scheduled appointment with my doctor in in about a week and that seems so far because i don't know how I can keep up this endurance. I noticed a few things help me like music, talking , and even forums like this. Hopefully I start feeling better.

I have been prescribed 300mg gabapentin for 3 days then up dose to 600mg then 3 days later up to 900mg and keep increasing until I feel comfortable.
Wow within 2 hours of taking 1 tab I feel stoned, I mean really stoned. It's like I'm not in the same world as everyone else and it's making me fidgety, I think it has already had an effect on the burning pain although pain is still there but pain or no pain I can't function like this daily, how can I up dose? i know side effects are supposed to reduce but how long do I need to be a space cadet until this happens. This feels like a recreational drug not a prescribed drug.
Has anyone experienced this? And did it go away after time?

I foolishly went back to smoking a while back because I feel BETTER when I smoke. I stopped, but get tempted because my breathing is much better when I do! I know it is insane, but has anyone experienced this? When I quit My breathing was much worse. I think it has to do with waking up your lungs, clearing them out, so you become sob. But I swear when I did smoke, I felt fine! So crazy.

Don't know what has just come over me. I am nearly 8 weeks post . Operation on second tkr and have managed to stop all my pain meds. I got up put some washing out and because it's a lovely sunny day decided to go shopping and then have a sit out in the sun this afternoon. However something just came over me quite unexpectedly and I started to cry. What is happening?
I feel that only the people on here understand exactly what we have gone through and don't feel that I can talk to my family because they think that I am doing so well and now should be back to normal. I wish people on here lived nearby and we could meet up because some days I feel so lonely. I don't give off this impression but I think it's the shock of the operation and trying to get on with things. Anyway must pull myself together and
put on my coping face. Does anyone else feel like this?

For the last three or four days I have been having headaches. Called my doc and she didn't seem too concerned. Just said to take some Tylenol but to let her know if that didn't help. I plan to call tomorrow. No other symptoms except just feeling sort of run down. But I have three kids so I am not surprised there!! I am 15 weeks along. Anyone with similar issue?

I am new here but have been dealing with anxiety for at least 10 years. I have been to the er 3 times in the last 4 or5 months. They can't find anything. I have a constant pressure in the left side of my chest and always feel like it is hard to breathe. I get pain in my left arm and , Up the left side of my face, headaches and tingling feelings. I just went 2 days ago and feel no better. This is really ruining me. I feel like it has to be something else and I feel like it could be a blood clot. I had an ekg done chest x ray and blood work was all good. They also did the D-dimer test which checks for any clotting in your blood and the results were also good. I know blood clots get over looked alot and I feel like this may be the case. I don't want it to be and I want all of the results from the other night to be correct but it is so hard to me to believe that all of this could truly be from anxiety.I don't feel stressed all of the time. Even when I feel like the day is going great these pains still present themselves. In scared that I have something really wrong that they are missing but it has cost me 5k in my last 3 er visits just to tell me i'm ok.
