Whats wrong with me, anxiety? depression? or just ...?

I'm constantly reviewing myself, it could be a self esteem issue or maybe deeper, like something is missing in my life. I'm only 18 years old, and going on my first year out of high school with my job.

Nothing is ever good enough- I can't remember the last time i didn't have to fake my happiness in a situation. Going out clubbing with friends or just driving around, i'm constantly thinking " is this a waste of money?" i won't drink because the prices are ridiculous and so not worth it. And whats the point of getting drunk when you are not going to meet anyone special here, I mean if I was them I wouldn't be looking here either.

I know this sounds really critical and cynical- but that si why i am worried..why am I like this... every ones laughing but me.

I think it may be stress with money and work, I'm not happy where I am in my life and it seems money would make it easier.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not the girl walking around whining all day, slack with her job, sits on the couch with chips and wonders why life isn't fabulous- i know that I myself must make it what I want it to be- I've lost 20 kilo's this year to have one less reason to be unhappy.

I want to goto an art/animation university once i have saved enough, so i have been studying anatomy/drawing but because of my sad outlook on things I'm findng it hard to keep it enjoyable- i mean hobbies are meant to be enjoyed it shouldn't be forced...Like when I'm riding my horse, its no longer fun- i feel constantly that progress and getting better is more important , only after a good gallop when i forget everything do i feel relief...And I can't talkt o my friends, I think i'm to insecure to let them know how crap i'm feeling, i don't like the attention people give when a person is down, it feels just- well not helpful towards the problem.

I thought it may be because i don't have a significant other but then that feels silly and to old time like, i shouldn't need someone else around for my hapiness...

Anyone out there with a clue?

    We're all seeking true happiness.

    Someday we just get a wake-up call and realize what it really is.

    I have been the same way in my 20's. I was never satisfied with anything. I was never proud of any achievements or anything like that! As I'm getting older, (29 yrs. now) I look at the world in a different way. I really can't explain it, I just think it happens. You will appreciate and value things in life much more and start feeling satisfied with it. It's not the material things I have had that made me happy it was those simple little things that I look back on and seriously cherish! (not to sound like a cheese ball)

    So just go out, don't worry about spending money because you will have fun with your friends and have laughs and memories forever!

    Money is just money. You can't take it with you. You have to enjoy today because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
