Hi everyone...its me peekaboo..I haven't posted a message on this board in a while I guess I became fustrated because although I had a place to vent my situation appears the same. I'm depressed lonely afraid to do anything afraid to go out in public I mean it's not a serious fear but I avoid going out so that I won't come across anyone that I know. Because I have nothing to tell them as far as what I'm doing with my life this is not what I pictured for myself. Ish just keeps happening which puts me in the predicament I'm currently in. I'm depressed I need some help but I don't know who to contact I don't have insurance so if I were to see a doctor it would be costly.

You seem to have low self esteem. Sort out what good qualities you possess. It can be anything about yourself that you're proud of or like about yourself such as being a good listener, understanding, kind, generous, anything. Don't let yourself say its not true. Write them down on a piece of paper and look at it 3 times a day, when you're feeling down or somewhere where you will see it frequently throughout the day. This will help you build your self-esteem.
Whenever you feel awkward or sad ask yourself why. Sometimes it might be for no reason at all, so tell yourself "Why be sad when theres nothing to be sad about?". If there is something to be sad about ask yourself "What is sitting here brooding over it going to do for me?".
Stand in front of the mirror every day, and tell yourself you're beautiful, the opinion of everyone else doesn't matter. If anyone ever says something nasty to you, remember that they only do that because they aren't happy with themselves, nothing they say is true and they aren't worth being around.
You have to just let all those negative thoughts and feelings drift away and reinforce all the positive thoughts and feelings. Listen to happy or upbeat music, don't listen to heavy metal or emo or anything depressing like that. It will only make you feel worse. A line from one of my favorite songs is, "Being sad is such a waste of time, so just Be Happy. Just try"
I hope this helps you, if you need anything don't hesitate to pm me or message me on aim, my S/N is tklownx
Much Love,
Tim

Depression...stupid thing...I just learned what causes it in the body but I won't bore you.
I've found that you don't in some cases need a doctor to get the depression to go away. Talk to people, I call them therapy people, that cheer you up and you can spill to about whats going on.
I can cheer up just about anyone.
I'm not where I pictured myself either. I'm a senior in high school that instead of being one of the top 5 students in my class, I have failed 4 classes and haven't been accepted to any colleges. I owe money. I just got over a long relationship and it didn't go very well. It wasn't with who I thought or anything. Crap happens and you may not know why. you can't change the past so start changing the future. Think that you can.
Avoiding the public and people you know will not do you any good. Fears suck but the only way to get rid of them is to face them. Start going places but don't make yourself immediately noticable. Then you won't have to talk right away. Slowly make yourself more noticable. When you see someone you know and you don't want to talk much with them get a pager and pretend you have something you have to go do. Easy out. Slowly ease into it.
