I think im depressed but not entirely sure, as strange as that may sound. Ive been feeling down lately as I feel as though Im wasting life and getting older without achieving anything. Im 25 in june, ive always been on the doll and never been able to keep a job longer than 2 months, dont know why, its just the way i am. Im hoping to start my own business soon thru the princes trust and inbiz, but that doesnt seem to be going anywhere at the moment and thats getting me down a bit too. I havent got a car which frustrates me, i cant go anywhere except within the island (i live on the isle of wight) which invloves getting the bus. I need to do more things in my life except for the same week in week out activities, Ive only ever been abroad twice and that was to france. Bascially my life sucks and i think its making me depressed. My doctor says excercise will help, but somehow i dont think it will. They say money isnt everything, but without money ur nothing, and thats what i am unfortunately, the main worry is, how long will i be like this, lifes short, too short and im wasting it. But what choice do i have?

Well chappy no one can tell you if your depressed. If you feel like it, ask a doctor. Sometimes things seem bad in life at the moment, and that can make anyone feel down. But then later things may pick up and lift the depression. I dont know how you feel only you do. Maybe its just how down life may seem to you now, or maybe you ar clinically depressed. Like i said if you think so see a doctor about it. He or she can tell you if its more than just the blues. :)

Hey Chappy, Im there where you're at, I've been there for the past 5 or 6 yrs actually past 12 yrs, and I'm 25 also. I drowned it out by using, which lead me to more serious trouble with the law. I thought I'd get (feel) better and got married, Nope it just made it worse for me. My life was going no where!.. I couldn't/can't hold down a job the longes job I've had lasted 4mos, I got a divorce,
I've moved from here to there. multiple times not knowing which way was up or down, thoughts of sucide would come and go, I have a little girl 1 and half yrs old. Still the feelings were and are the same no matter what I did or do..
I moved once again, this time I think it was somewhat of a calling.,.? don't know, but I got hellp 9mos after I moved finally I was diagonised yesterday with Major depression, and got started on EFFEXOR XR 4 days of 37.5mg then to 75mg to see if it helps any.. Started seeing a therapist last week, which helps he set me up with a Dr.s appointment which was yesterday. I'll get more of a further diagonisis in the next couple weeks. I hope this helps some, you're not alone. Finally I do feel like there is someone out there that is similar to me, meaning going thru the same things...
I'm glad I'm not alone on the 2mos of having a job and quiting.. I'm always running. Which SUCKS big time.. and I'd quit jobs only after 2 weeks of working.. Common for me,
Anyways the med they put me on should help stablelize me to stick with a job give me alot of stability,, hopefully it works, today is my 2nd day on the med,, I'll keep you posted on how its doing for me.. First talk to a therapist then he'll tell you what you need to know, and hopefully everything good goes from there..

Thanks for your eyes. Emily

Hope everything works out for u emily. i will talk more again, bit busyt right now so cant post a big message. cheers
