i don’t know why I’m even crying, but it’s like something mentally isn’t clicking.

Just pray for me.

I've had days kind of like that (although, the crying is replaced by a lot of griping at the walls....)

I'll pray for you. But you might also make sure you're getting plenty of rest and having some time with friends so you're not unduly isolated socially. ;)

A lot of my friends got sick of me being depressed and now they’ve already went out and done plans without me.

I feel so behind in life, and I have people always telling me that being a young single woman with no burden of kids I should be doing more. But my mind it’s it own battle. I wish I can talk to someone that gets it, but instead I just feel alone and guilty for even feeling this way.

I have moment where I can conjure up thought but it’s just spurts in comparison to the amount of time I feel disconnected.

I don’t think 7-8 hours is enough I feel like sleeping 16 hours.

I'd suggest a visit with your doctor ... and I will pray ...

How long have you been feeling depressed? Do you have a counselor to talk to?

That's understandable. I feel like a 'loser' in life to some extent.......and I'm married. And I do suffer from moderate depression quite often. But in some ways, I think it's more difficult when a person is single.

I would think that there would be many of us here on CF you could talk to....keep trying. I'd talk with you, but I'm afraid that I can't guarantee that I'll be consistently on CF to do that. Besides, there are pastors here for counseling who perhaps could link you up with others who would be able to talk everyday or every other day. Additionally, it might be good for you to go to some positive social setting and meet new people of all kinds for support.

Yeah, I understand. I work at home alone much of the time and remain disconnected unless I go to church.

I don’t think 7-8 hours is enough I feel like sleeping 16 hours.
I hear ya. Maybe try getting a little more sleep each day, at least, than you are at the present time.

My prayers are with you. I've always enjoyed reading your posts here on CF since you've come here, and I know that you have your challenges, but you seem like an intelligent, capable young lady.

:cool:

I was feeling something kind of like that tonight, actually... I only really have one friend and I haven't seen him in four months even though he knows I've been going through a difficult time. I sometimes wonder if I even have the one friend I thought I had?

Plus, I'm also single while most people in their twenties are out partying like there's no tomorrow and I just don't do that. It's even harder as a guy... I was talking to my friends' girlfriend recently (just messaging) and we got onto the subject of me being single and in the end she more or less described me as the kind of guy that no girls want... I don't think she even did it consciously. So that really helped... :sigh:

And a few days later I had a conversation with my little brother who said he can imagine every one of us siblings getting married except me. My dad has said the same thing to me for no apparent reason... I sometimes don't know why I even get out of bed in the morning!

I also have known multiple people who have died lately - the apartment below me used to have three people living there and it's now empty because one by one they passed away within the last year. So it's just really sad.

Anyway, these feelings come and go. Even with a spouse or significant other people still struggle with depression and loneliness. And those who act like it's weird or can't stand being around you because of it are just being shallow and self-centered.

God may be preparing us for a special responsibility that requires strength most people don't have. So remember this isn't forever and keeping fighting for Him.

Of course I have no way to know what the cause of your depression, but here is something to thinka about. Once I was feeling very down. For some reason, against my better judgment, I ate a whole big tub of Danon's yogurt, the kind that has probiotics in it. The next day I felt a whole lot better and thought, then, that I'd research any connection between probiotics and depression.

Well, it turned out there is a lot of research on the brain-gut connection and that studies are showing that proboscis definitely help against depression and other mental problems! You might want to check that out I pray you will find the answer to your problem.

And P.S. I wonder if it might help you to research developing improved social skills. There is a ton of stuff on the net about that and the Bright Side channel particularly comes to mind from You Tube. Reflect on what that girl said that pictured you as unattractive to women. Address each of the areas in your studies. And, of course, pray for wisdom and guidance as I pray for you too.
