What to do to get out of extreme depression?
It basically all started back in September when the guy I liked didnt like me that same, said for us to be friends, he tells me he is seeing someone else (when they hadnt been talkin for like a week), takes pics with her and post them on fb, and then some. If he wants to be friends then why respond to my text msg in one word and I havent seen him nor talked to him in about 2 weeks. anyway, on top of that, it has hurt my self worth. I feel worthless, not good enough, ugly, i feel like a horrible person like something is wrong with me, and have since then slipped into a horrible depression. I have gotten back to a bad habit to cope...I take sleeping pills (400-800mg) on days like today ( i think i took bout 500mg cause i dont feel like hallucinating again) that just are horrible and I cant take it (work tonight got to me bad. I'm not even going in tomorrow). I find it difficult to go on with daily activities. I don't want to get out of bed, i don't want to eat...I don't even wanna watch tv, get on the internet, or leave my house because all I see is people happier than me and/or have a significant other. I bang my head up against books and doors cause I don't like feeling like this! Normally, I am a bubbly person who smiles all the time. I have to force a smile at work. I have no energy or the will to continue. I don't know what to do any more. One solution seems quite tempting right now.
I love dancing and I'm 21. I dont want to be dependent on alcohol and clubs...meh...don't like the smell of smoke...esp in my hair. i just cant take it.

well it looks like you let this one guy change your entire lifestyle. think about it, if you really liked him then you should want him to be happy and who knows? his relationship with this other girl could end at anytime and then if you comforted him he would grow attached to you. and his girlfriend might be telling him not to talk to you because she doesn't want him talking to other girls which would explain why he's answering your texts in one word answers. and you shouldn't beat yourself up because of this. like really whats the point of it? so you get turned down by a guy. you should be getting on with your life and showing him that you're not torn up about it because guys really aren't into that. also, based on your situation i can tell that you have really deep emotions so even if you aren't supermodel material (lets face it is anyone really?) then you really make up for it in heart, any guy would be lucky to have someone who can feel like you do (: heres what you should do: when you wake up every morning, look in the mirror and think 5 positive things about you over and over again, it can be anything but it will make you feel better <3

Well first of all let me say that I'm sorry that you have to deal with this situation. I'm sure that it is very uncomfortable and overwhelming for you at times, but these feelings are symptoms of depression, a medical condition that is VERY COMMON AND TREATABLE.
If you're experiencing prolonged feelings of sadness, loneliness, guilt, or hopelessness, and are withdrawing from or avoiding activities that you previously enjoyed, are either sleeping a lot or hardly at all, and either eating a lot more or a lot less, then the FIRST THING TO DO IS CALL YOUR DOCTOR.
Your doctor may prescribe an anti-depressant for you, or recommend other treatments depending on his diagnosis of your condition. There are also other remedies that you might pursue to reduce your stress, anxiety and tension that is probably fueling your depression.
So, as much as you probably don't want to do this, CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. You will be glad you took this first step. I've had bouts with depression on and off for about 20 years, and each time I start experiencing those uncomfortable feelings, I take quick action because I don't want to spin out of control.
Here's another thing you might want to do - learn as much as you can about this condition so you can start understanding the causes, symptoms and treatments. Here's a good place to start if you want some advice:

Now call your doctor .... immediately. Just do it, okay? Don't let these feelings overwhelm you. Help is a phone call away so please take this first important step. Trust me, I've been there ...

You should call a suicide prevention hot line if you are seriously considering that option. Just start with 911 if you cannot find a better number right now. It sounds to me like you are a very intelligent person, and you communicate well, but you have just reached a difficult spot in life. Your self esteem has been shattered for a few reasons..one might be that you are leaving it up to someone else to give you a feeling of self worth. This is a bad idea though. Think about it for a minute...if you do not think you are great, and who knows you better that you?...how can some one else think you are great? Get some counseling and find out how to find value in yourself, all by yourself. And never forget that God values you and loves you. He knows how much potential you have because he does not create anything sub-standard. He loves you as you are, but he'll help you be all you can if you live for him.

dont make such a big deal over that guy. who cares about him. Go out and meet other people. If he does not appreciate the good things about you, then it is his loss. Pretty yourself up, put on a smile and go ut all cheerful and meet other guys. You will meet someone who is right for you.
Sleeping pills will make your depression worse, so try herbal teas instead. Go to work and return to all your other usual activities. Staying in bed will make your depression worse. dont drink alcohol it will make depression worse. even just 15 minutes of running or fast walking will give you a boost.
you are over focusing on him, like he is the only guy on earth. no one exists but him. Only you can control the thoughs in your head and if you really wanted to you could notice other guys. Dont give up try again. You will meet someone someday/ Hurting yourself only hurts you. It wont make that other guy like you.Think of other people who need you, not just men.Children and the elderly often need a friend. Think of animals. There are many homeless dogs and cats out there who really need someone to love. You are focusing too much on this one guy like he is really all that and he isnt no man is.
